Why aren’t all the Israel-bashing celebrities – Latest News
War is over — but it surely appears no one instructed the grandstanding, Israel-hating celebrities who made the “Free Palestine, ceasefire now” motion their complete persona for the final two years.
It’s been two days since President Trump introduced the historic and, yes, nonetheless precarious ceasefire between Israel and Hamas. Such fantastic information — an finish to the combating in Gaza and the return of Israeli hostages — must be met with applause from all sides.
And but, there’s been relative crickets from the keffiyeh refrain of Hollywood.

Ceasefire to grease fire!
“Hacks” comic Meg Stalter confirmed up to September’s Emmys with a black purse coated in a giant piece of tape with the phrase “Ceasefire” written on it.
Now? Nada from her on the ceasefire.
To be truthful, it’s not simply Hollywood celebs. Suddenly, Rep. Rashida Talib, who’s Palestinian American, has higher issues to speak about. Greta “How dare you?” Thunberg is relentlessly posting about her ineffective flotilla of influencers. Nothing about the ceasefire, as a result of that will finish her genocide grift.

Last month, more than 2,000 artists signed a petition pledging to not work with Israeli filmmakers or “institutions that are complicit in Israel’s human rights abuses against the Palestinian people.”
Boldface signees included John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ava DuVernay. This week, these three have merely shared videos criticizing Trump and the peace plan.
I anticipated a big celebration from Stalter’s “Hacks” co-star Hannah Einbinder, who actually wore an “Artists4Ceasefire” pin to the Emmys and used her win to scream: “Free Palestine and f–k ICE.”
After this week’s information, she initially posted a video of her decrying Zionisim as a betrayal of Judaism and a unhappy meme about the Eagles dropping to the Giants. By Friday evening, two days after the truth, Einbinder discovered the proper ready post to share: “We are elated by the Gaza ceasefire news,” it reads in small kind.

Larger are the phrases, “Now the world must hold Israel to account for 2 years of genocide.”
I assume I shouldn’t be shocked. When Hamas murdered more than 1,200 harmless Israelis and kidnapped 251 hostages on October 7, 2023, there was relative silence from Hollywood’s hypocrites. And it will definitely grew to become a lot more modern to change into a shameless Israel-basher.
Perhaps most shameless of all is Spanish actor Javier Bardem. He has posted a few videos of youngsters celebrating in Gaza, however his happiness was tempered by whinging posts that the ceasefire doesn’t handle the actual difficulty of a free Palestine.

Maybe he ought to take that up with boys from Hamas.
In 2014, Bardem and spouse Penélope Cruz signed an open letter, printed in a Spanish newspaper, accusing Israel of genocide.
When the actor obtained blowback, he issued a assertion saying, “While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel and deep compassion for their losses.”
Fast-forward to the Emmys, when he confirmed up in a keffiyeh and as soon as again accused Israel of genocide.

When protesters in Madrid disrupted the La Vuelta bike race as a result of Israel’s workforce was competing, Bardem praised the agitators, including, “we can’t allow” them to compete.
Guess he by no means actually had compassion for the people of Israel after all.
The objective posts are at all times transferring with this crowd.
In their calls to “free Palestine,” it’s at all times about Israel — by no means about Hamas, who turned Gaza into a terror staging ground after Israel withdrew from there in 2005.
The silence in the present day speaks volumes about what sure seems to be like their actual and really sinister goal: wiping Israel off the map.
