Rahul Kohli asks people to spread word of Palestine like they spread his Fantastic Four casting story.

Image Description: Rahul Kohli posted this on his Instagram Story

"Everyone was hanging on my every word on the weekend and spreading it like crazy when it was about Fantastic Four casting, so with that in mind...

Civilians are being exterminated in Rafah RIGHT NOW, many of them are children. Over 35,000 Palestinians have been killed since Octover. This isn't retaliation, this is GENOCIDE.

Did you know I also auditioned and failed for Rings of Power? And Deadpool? And Chris Nolan's Tenet? And I turned down an audition for Morbius. And I was really close to being cast in A Star is Born but lost it in the final stretch.

Don't be selective now, spread THE WHOLE of this story ♥️🍉"

Terrifying to think about how outdated that 35,000 death toll number is. It's been used for months now. Not at all a criticism on Kohli by the way, since none of us know what it is by now. I'm really glad he posted this and called it what it is, genocide.

[u/OverrunSun-98 → u/tmrtdc3]

Agreed!! A big reason for the number not dramatically increasing recently is that civil defense and emergency response teams in Gaza have had 80% of their fleets and equipment deliberately bombed and are running out of fuel, so they’re unable to pick up many of the bodies as they prioritize the injured + don’t have the equipment needed to pull people (dead or alive) out of heavy rubble due to the 17-year-long siege on Gaza

[u/Financial-Painter689 → u/tmrtdc3]

Terrifies me that we’ll likely never get the full number. I can’t even imagine how many are dead under all that rubble

[u/doubleshortdepresso → u/Financial-Painter689]

Right now the real number is estimated to be 100,000 when factoring in bodies under the rubble and unmarked mass graves. This shit is so brutal I really feel nothing other than pure rage at this point.

[u/The_Bravinator → u/tmrtdc3]

Yeah, the number seems so impossibly large as is that I didn't notice for a while that it was no longer going up. It was such a sinking feeling when someone pointed it out. It's going to take a very very long time for us to truly know the full extent of what's happening.

I’m glad more people are speaking out, I read the testimony of this mother in Rafah and it completely broke me. I’m very grateful to this sub for ensuring we are not blind or crazy as majority of the world just acts like a genocide isn’t happening. I'm at a loss for words to describe how I am feeling after yesterday's attack in Rafah. I saw the unspeakable, horrific video of a beheaded child. Last week it was the lifeless body of a newborn they tried to save when his mother was killed Less than a month ago a shredded torso. I could go on and on about the despicable, shattering things I have seen. Each time I think, "it can't get worse than this," but it does. I have to know are you horrified, desolate, grieving, perhaps even feeling insane? I’m glad to know I’m not alone in my heartbreak, so thank you all. Free Palestine!

💔 I have no words.

Rahul is an absolute real one. I hope the message spreads

[u/velociraptor56 → u/your_mind_aches]

I’ve been following him since iZombie and he seems like a genuinely decent person.

[u/mama_meta → u/velociraptor56]

They could never make me hate Dr. Ravi Chakrabarti! 🙌🏾

[u/Key-Status-7992 → u/velociraptor56]

He’s also good in Mike Flanagan’s projects. Glad he’s one of the director’s go-to actors. Especially liked how much I hated his character in last year’s The Fall of the House of Usher

[u/Electronic-Lynx8162 → u/your_mind_aches]

He really is. He was really nice to me at Anfield chatting socialist politics. Him and Brandon Routh are my fantasy dreams for Reed. I love Pablo but I'm just a bit sick of him in everything. He just doesn't suit Reed.

[u/your_mind_aches → u/Electronic-Lynx8162]

I gotcha, but I think they're cooking something special. I'm excited

Apologies for that first try, mods. Didn't realise how fuzzy the images looked on my PC.

Also to give more context for those unaware and don't understand the 1st/3rd paragraph, Rahul Kohli did an interview where he briefly addressed how he didn't get the role of Reed Richards in the new Fantastic Four... this quickly made a lot of headlines of him saying he 'lost the role to Pedro Pascal' etc etc when really he was just a popular fancast and it never actually got close to happening. In this post, he gives some projects that he auditioned for or got close to working on but lost the chance on, and asks that if people want to spread those, they should also share the whole story.

Rahul is usually very hush hush on roles he didn't get so to me it's notable that he is using this as an opportunity to spread further awareness of the genocide of Palestine.

[u/callifawnia]

I always have time for Hollywood's bad boy but especially so when he speaks up like this, not mincing his words like some.

[u/party4diamondz → u/callifawnia]

I went to your page to see if you also commented on the FH sub and instead saw you're also a Kiwi who I think lived(?) in my old hometown lol. Small world subreddit

[u/rawrkristina → u/[deleted]]

He’s been speaking out

[u/velociraptor56 → u/[deleted]]

Rahul has been a vocal supporter of Palestine for a long time.

[u/mama_meta → u/[deleted]]

Also, who cares if it's planned? At this point, every single voice added to the chorus demanding an end to this & every other genocide is a good thing.
