Boycott every advertiser. Make them feel like Budweiser.
Voice actress Tara Strong has been dropped from her role in the
independent animated series "Boxtown" after her social media activity
about the Israel-Hamas conflict.
"Just found out on Twitter!" she wrote of the firing on X, formerly
Twitter, on Friday. "This is what happens when you help fans get shows
made I guess. Fired for being Jewish. Glad I helped you get your
kickstarter money. Please lose my email address & pray for my family in
Israel and in Gaza. & #prayforpeace."
Strong, 50, who voiced characters on several Cartoon Network and
Nickelodeon classics like "The PowerPuff Girls," "Rugrats," "Teen Titans"
and more, authored the post in response to another from the show's account announcing the role would be recast.

"Hello all! Just wanted to offer a quick update on Boxtown. We will be recasting the role of Bill (previously played by Tara Strong). We’ll have
more info soon on open auditions. Thanks for y’all’s understanding as we re-orient and figure out the next steps," the post read in full.
Some posters raged in the comments, echoing Strong's claims that she was
fired for being Jewish, including one who added, "I've seen this before."
The show replied with a tweet noting that other voice actors and writers
on the show are Jewish, but another commenter quickly fired back, arguing Strong was fired for being Jewish and "not remaining silent."
Further along in the thread, Strong replied to those blasting her as "Islamophobic," writing, "I’m speaking about the terrorist org HAMAS. We
should all be against them."
