I have deep admiration for the few Jews with integrity and courage who condemn the evil that is Israel and speak the truth about the longest and therefore the worst holocaust in modern history, and the worst genocide because of the intentional mass murder and torture of children, in all of history.

The official death figure of around 60,000 is only identified bodies. The final figure will be between the 300,000 cited in a Lancet article from the end of 2024 to the 800,000 suggested by Trump. Ultimately, with the carryon deaths from starvation, filthy water, lack of medical treatment, there are likely to be more than a million dead in Gaza and Occupied Palestine, half of them children.

The hideous cowardice also extends to The Oval Office as the US refuses to end the war in Ukraine on Putin's terms all because the US cannot be seen to lose a war to Russia. Especially so when it is threatening war against China. The empire dies a slow lingering death as the death tolls mount.

An excellent article George - thank you. Yes the elite privileged classes of Hollywood have followed the path of the elite privileged classes throughout the collective west, crushing any remnant of their own humanity under the weight of their greed and ambition.

Thank you John - the cultural well that’s laden with heroes and heroines is a rat hole of cowards who’ve run for cover when humanity needs their help to rescue it. They’re quivering and shaking in the corner - confused.

Hi George

Just wanted to point out that Vanessa Redgrave, of that famous acting family, promoted Palestinian rights many years ago, before it was “cool” to do so.

As well as one of my favorite actresses, Susan Sarandon, star of Dead Man Walking and my favorite “Sistah” film, Thelma and Louise. She has been present at many pro-Palestine rallies.

And don’t forget Javier’s wife, actress Penelope Cruz.

I agree with your post, George. I saw the interview Mandy Patinkin did when he spoke out against the genocide in Gaza and it was moving. Both of these men are wonderful actors and have chosen to stand with Palestine and this is something in an industry that is all about profits and self-centeredness. Thank you for posting this, G. 😢☮️🇵🇸

In so many different artistic areas, the story is the same. A few take a moral stand and pay the consequences. The majority, particularly the power-brokers, are content to tow the "party line."

In the US, of course, things are even more perverted, as the "anti-semitism" label gets hurled by those who don't know what anti-semitism is...

Why use an AI photo? It makes your post look suspicious.

true, but there is also provision for “fair use” and “non-commercial use”

I agree but many of the agencies are red hot on applying copyright regs and suing.

I haven’t noticed this for a long time now, George… I regularly use copyrighted photographs and video stills - non-commercially, though, of course

Hollywood has always been a propaganda machine that promote superficial values, unfettered consumption and greed and the glorification of violence with very few exceptions.

His passionate speech isn't about Palestinians and saving Gaza. Its about his fear for jew safety and moral bankruptcy of current Israeli government. Once again , everyone loves when a fucking liberal Zionist says its a genocide. As if their words are so much more valuable than the voices of people experiencing the FUCKING GENOCIDE!! It changes nothing, you CAN NOT SUPPORT ISRAEL AND BE PRO- PALESTINIAN. Stop voicing these jew 🤡 like it makes any difference, all it does is propetuate jew supremacy.

Just like Hollywood top admin did in 1950 when many stars, writers, prodicers, etc. bent the knee to Mc Carthy and "communism" scare in Congress, and were blacklisted. Sad.

I agree 100% although there are a few more names that could be added to the list of actors that have spoken out publicly…but it is too few, and those voices are not being given air time with legacy media outlets. It is pathetic how many big names have hid themselves in the sand, and just carry on like business as usual.

Well done guys … you are my Hollywood Hero’s . It must be difficult considering the amount of evil zionist jews in Hollywood all cheering the deaths of children whilst abusing female artists. Sharon Osborne is enemy no 1 … evil to her bones

Hardly surprising that these two artists, who are so passionate about their craft, would be equally committed to the ultimate purpose of the humanities. Character is at the heart of commitment.
