Actress Tilda Swinton is one of the big names among more than 2,000 people who called themselves “Artists for Palestine. “Other celebrities, such as Charles Dance, Steve Coogan and Miriam Margolyes, have joined the effort by calling on nations to stop supporting Israel. Our governments not only tolerate war crimes, they also aid and abet them. “
THESE CELEBRITIES SPEAK OUT IN SUPPORT OF PALESTINIANS AMID HAMAS TERROR
The organization falsely criticized Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant’s “portrayal of Palestinians as ‘human animals,'” the organization. Even the pro-Palestinian “news” outlet Al Jazeera quoted the full quote as saying, “We are fighting human animals. “In words, Hamas, which raped and murdered all of southern Israel.
In half-Palestinian fashion, Gigi Hadid managed to be reprimanded in Israel for an Instagram post that claimed her “deep empathy for the Palestinian struggle. “He added that “condemning the Israeli government is anti-Semitic and supporting the Palestinians means supporting Hamas. “Except when you say you feel a “deep empathy” right after a major Palestinian terror attack.

Former porn star Mia Khalifa called Palestinian terrorists “freedom fighters” and Oscar winner Riz Ahmed demanded an end to the “indiscriminate bombing of civilians and important infrastructure in Gaza. “And if I knew anything, I would know that Israel is doing everything imaginable to warn civilians.
“The Princess Bride” actor Wallace Shawn criticized Israel’s reaction to the terror attack, saying, “What is happening now is one of the greatest planned cruelties inflicted on an organization of other people that I can remember. “And Kylie Jenner temporarily backtracked after posting on Instagram, “Now and always, we stand with the rest of the people of Israel. “He temporarily deleted it and reportedly lost thousands of followers.
It didn’t.
MADONNA, NATALIE PORTMAN AND MARK HAMILL ARE THE MAIN STARS SUPPORTING ISRAEL IN THE WAR AGAINST HAMAS
In 1972, Palestinian terrorists murdered 11 Israeli athletes at the Munich Olympics. The outrage stunned the world. Four years later, other Palestinian terrorists hijacked a plane carrying Jewish and Israeli passengers and flew it to Uganda, making it no easy to release even more terrorists. This time, Israel intervened and rescued the detainees, with only one soldier and 3 hostages killed. All the terrorists have been annihilated.
Each time, Hollywood has responded with wonderful concern. But Entebbe rallied the belligerent parties of Palestinian terrorism, and the film soon produced two star-studded films celebrating victory.

“Raid on Entebbe,” starring Peter Finch and action star Charles Bronson, won two Emmy Awards. “The Victory at Entebbe” featured other big names, including Burt Lancaster, Richard Dreyfuss, Burt Lancaster and Elizabeth Taylor. It has yet to win a nomination for 4 Emmy Awards.
Fast forward to October 7, the Hamas pogrom, the kidnapping, rape and murder of Jews that killed 1,300 people. It is shocking that Israel has far fewer friends in Hollywood, despite the depravity of the most recent attack.
It is commendable that some of Hollywood’s early reactions affected Israel. More than 1,000 celebrities signed what they called “Israel Under Attack: An Open Letter” “in Israel. “Among the signatories were stars such as Gal Gadot, Jamie Lee Curtis, Chris Pine, Mayim Bialik, Michael Douglas, Jerry Seinfeld and Helen Mirren.
The letter was published through the nonprofit Creative Community For Peace, which was founded to “promote the arts as a bridge to peace, raise awareness of the rise of anti-Semitism within the entertainment industry, and galvanize opponents of Israel’s cultural boycott. ” It will be a check to see if they hold out while the war continues. Even Disney has donated $2 million to Israeli relief efforts, adding $1 million to Red Cross affiliate Magen David Adom.
In an interview with Vogue Hong Kong, actress Gal Gadot says motherhood has taught her the vital thing that “it’s not just about you. “(Getty Images)
Just like more than 40 years ago, many Hollywood attitudes have changed. John Oliver began his show, “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” and turned mass rapes, kidnappings, and murders to blame either aspect. This resulted in blaming one aspect – Israel – and talking about Israel’s “war crime. “He criticized Israel’s plan to refuse to send aid to Gaza as having “all the appearances of collective punishment, which constitutes a war crime. “
From there it was much worse. The biggest question is why.
The attack on Entebbe capped nearly 30 years of victories for the new State of Israel. It gained its independence in 1948 and won a war in 1956. In 1967, it devastated Arab nations, unified Jerusalem, and captured many territories, adding Gaza. He won a much tougher war in 1973.
Israel even managed to win by making peace with Egypt. The leaders of the countries were awarded the Nobel Peace Prize in 1978.

The TV miniseries “Holocaust” also premiered in 1978, and marked the beginning of a series of films about the horrors the Nazis inflicted on the Jewish people. Even the TV miniseries “Masada” tells the story of how the Romans attacked the Jewish people.
Soon after all this, the global left began to regard the PLO as a victims’ organization. Israel has won too much and has gone from the left-wing symbol of a socialist state full of kibbutzim to a military state with a tough army. The Lebanon war was not good for Israel and led to accusations of war crimes.
Palestinian terror continues, but now it is its victim. American Leon Klinghoffer was killed by terrorists who seized the cruiser sent by Achille Lauro in 1985. Klinghoffer, an elderly Jewish man in a wheelchair, was shot and thrown into the sea by terrorists. This time, five years later, Hollywood produced a movie: “Voyage of Terror: The Achille Lauro Affair. “Starring Lancaster and Eve Marie Saint, it garnered little attention and no awards.
The pro-Palestinian discourse has permeated Hollywood.
We were also still in the Cold War era and Arab nations were sometimes aligned with the Soviet Union, a point that is sometimes forgotten today. Thus, one of the few nations that actively fought against them was Israel. And Hollywood, which has enjoyed the communist USSR, couldn’t stand that either.

Today, Israel is the victim of the deadliest and deadliest carnage since the Holocaust. Even before Israel launches a ground offensive on Gaza to kill terrorists and rescue hostages, the Hollywood elite is already writing the narrative.
Israel is wrong. It doesn’t matter what you do.
