      Dismissal from Boxtown cast

      After the 2023 Israel–Hamas war began, Strong stated that Hamas had "brainwashed the western world" to support terrorism.[1] She also stated that people can "help Palestine without supporting terrorism"[2] and expressed support for Israel.[3]

      Strong's posts and likes on others' posts relating to the war on Twitter, particularly her opinions on the government of Israel's bombing of the Gaza Strip,[4] garnered controversy and criticism, which led independent animation studio Bandit Mill Animation to remove her from the production of their upcoming series Boxtown and recast a role for a character she would have voiced. They explained on their official Twitter page that "this decision was due to a trend among Tara's recent online activity, including posts that promote controversial messages regarding the peoples of Palestine currently being affected by the ongoing Israel-Palestine crisis."[5]

      After her removal, Strong claimed that she was "fired for being Jewish". This was denied by a co-writer of Boxtown's pilot, Spencer Rothbell, who pointed out that several Boxtown cast and crew members are Jewish, including himself and voice actor Alex Hirsch, the latter whom is voicing a lead character in the series.[6]

      welp. At least I got a chuckle out of the last paragraph.
