The Issue

UPDATE: THE CASTING DIRECTOR OF BLIZZARD IS ON TWITTER/X TAG @ANDREATOYIAS WHEN YOU SHARE THIS PETITION ON TWITTER/X AND USE THE HASHTAG “#RECASTPHARAH 

As of now, a beloved Arab and Indigenous Canadian character Pharah of Overwatch is being voiced by a woman with video evidence of her making zionistic statements spreading. Jen Cohn has made countless statements denying the genocide of Palestinians calling it "war" and claiming that the Palestinians must be freed from Hamas not Israel. More than 20,000 Palestinians (at least 12,000 of them children) have been murdered in 130 days by Israel, and we can't stand for someone with these views profiting off of an Arab character. To add to why someone in support of Israel should not voice an Egyptian character, Israel has also “mistakenly” sent strikes to Egypt. The Arab, Egyptian, and Indigenous communities deserve better representation than this. We want Blizzard to speak up on the matter, and if enough people act we will have answers. Now is not the time to be silent.

Note: As much as we appreciate the donations, please do not pay to boost this petition and donate to organizations to help the civilians of Palestine instead. 

DISCLAIMER: WE HAVE THE RIGHT TO PROTEST BUT DO NOT HARASS OR THREATEN ANYONE.
