“they’re showing a country of mostly white people invading and brutalizing a defenseless country of brown people which is clearly about Israel-palestine”
I can all but guarantee that’s an American writing that comment anyway.
They look pretty much the same in terms of skin tone. It’s not whites vs browns. They all just look Mediterranean, which isn’t that surprising because that’s where they are. Palestinians are a lot lighter than people seem to think.
Unless we’re going with the US definition of race, in which anybody coming from a poor country is non-white. I mean, they used to think the Italians and Irish weren’t white.

Who? Israel’s dominant sociopolitical group are Ashkenazi. They’re white. Pretending it’s Mediterraneans vs Mediterraneans is playing into the Israeli lie that Jewish people are the true native people in Canaan and everyone else is an outside invader. When in reality some Jews are native to the area, just as the Palestinians are. But certainly not the 20th century neocolonial supremacist state of Israel.

Uhm, you do realize that French, Spaniards, italians,… are also considered white nowadays and are mediterranian?
pretty sure they’re talking about the people of the two fictional countries in the movie
They said “Palestinians”
you’re right, i misread the comment
