Hollywood stars condemn silence on Israel’s Gaza ‘Genocide’
More than 350 film industry figures, including Richard Gere and Susan Sarandon, have denounced Israel’s “genocide” in Gaza in an open letter released by pro-Palestinian activists on the eve of the Cannes Film Festival.
Mizan -
“We cannot remain silent while genocide is taking place in Gaza,” said the letter published on Monday in French newspaper Liberation and US magazine Variety.
The signatories, which include acclaimed Spanish director Pedro Almodovar and former Cannes winner Ruben Ostlund, decried Israel’s killing of Gazan photojournalist Fatima Hassouna who is the subject of a documentary which will premiere in Cannes on Thursday.
Hassouna was killed along with 10 relatives in an Israeli airstrike on her family home in northern Gaza last month, the day after the documentary was announced as part of the ACID Cannes selection.
