100 Spanish celebrities accuse Israel of genocide in Gaza July 29, 2014
Actress Penelope Cruz, shown at the 86th Annual Academy Awards, was one of 100 Spanish celebrities endorsing a letter accusing Israel of genocide.
SEVILLA, Spain (JTA) — A letter accusing Israel of genocide in Gaza was endorsed by 100 Spanish celebrities, including Academy Award winners Pedro Almodovar, Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz.
On Monday the actors, writers and directors endorsed a letter that Bardem published last week in the Barcelona-based El Periodico de Catalunya, the daily reported. “This is a war of occupation and extermination against a whole people without means, confined to a miniscule territory without water and where hospitals, ambulances, and children are targeted and presumed to be terrorists,” Bardem, himself an Academy Award-winning actor, wrote.
European Jewish Congress President Moshe Kantor told JTA that “Rather than outrageously attacking a fellow democracy for defending itself against radical terrorists, the time of Spanish public figures would be better put to use fighting against the rapidly growing hatred of Jews in their country, which according to recent surveys is one of the highest in Europe. The gratuitous use of the term ‘genocide’ and the fact that no similar statement has been released while hundreds of thousands are massacred and made refugees in the Middle East and Africa demonstrates grave ignorance or extreme malice.”
Kantor added: “I would be interested in reading the opinion of the same Spanish celebrities after thousands of rockets are fired at Madrid or Barcelona.”

Wouldn't make any difference. Those 100 Spanish lefties would then issue a statement saying: "Spain brought all this on itself. Spain deserves to be punished."
Add John Legend to the list..he just said he is “So sick” of seeing John Kerry “Grovel” to Israel..another Jew Hater..seems they are coming out more and more from the woodwork each day..Id love to see ISIS blow their houses up and put their heads on poles
I can only think of Senor Wences who has been dead for rather a long time.
What makes THEM think they are experts on genocide?
Jews KNOW genocide firsthand.
Genocide? Israel has nuclear weapons. If they truly wanted to commit genocide, they could commit genocide.
Isn’t it strange when Israel decides to commit genocide, according to these wing-nuts?
It only resorts to genocide, after thousands of missiles have been fired into it’s territory. Why not commit genocide at other times? I’m sure these people have no idea why.
It’s always to a pleasure to watch anti-Semites raise their head, to be seen in public for what they are. I doubt any of them have a clue either. What? Me? An anti-Semite? Me? Noooooooooo...
Yes!
ping
Now those are REAL Spanish celebrities!
Am I the only one who thinks a headline about “100 Spanish celebrities” is funny? I mean, what next? 100 Albanian celebrities? Ludicrous!
"....But the Inquisition's here and it's here to stay."
A whole herd of Ba Ba Streisden’s isn’t worth paying any attention to any more than Ba Ba herself is.
Heh. These pro-Palestinian celebrity elites in Spain remind me of that thread about Gloria Estefan & family hosting an Obama fundraiser. They could have used a nice long stay under Fidel Castro until they figure out that socialism doesn’t work.
Likewise, the pro-Palestinian cheerleaders in Spain need to be sent back in a time machine to the period when Spain was under militant Islamic rule. It took Spaniards 781 years to get their country back and these idiots are promoting the other side.
Egregious anti-Semitism is once again in fashion, much of it due to Obama’s obvious pro-Muslim prejudices.
Bet these celebrities will be really happy when España is Al-Andalus again.
My mom is Spanish. I don’t know what it is with those people, but they always seem to have love flings with dictators, terrorists, and tyrants.
That Spain suffered 7 centuries of humiliation and colonization to the Muslims makes no difference to them. Like France, they are a society that is slowing dying and being devoured by PC and Socialism. The irony of all of this is that if you took the DNA of the average Spaniard, they’d have more Hebrew DNA than the minute Arab DNA that “scholars” always declare Spaniards to have a lot of.
Maybe they would be happy if the Muslims took over Spain again. Screw these idiots. They go on the “Dr. Thorne S*** List” of people who will never make a nickel from me.
I tell you one thing only thing Penolpe is famous for is her look that is
She is not exactly rocket scientist LOL!
Also don’t forget Spanish have reputation of anti semtric
Ok.
Well let’s give Granada back to the Muslims, and have them chuck rockets into Spain, and see how they react.
