Veteran Jewish actress Miriam Margolyes has revealed she 'is wounded' by lost friendships and accusations of betraying her community due to her strong pro-Gaza views.
Having visited both Israel and Gaza - and even previously living on an Israeli communal settlement also known as a kibbutz - Margolyes has made her stance on the conflict abundantly clear.
Open in her critique of the Israeli government, the Harry Potter actress, 83, has called for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to be jailed, branding him a 'war criminal' and a 'common corrupt politician'.
In April she was also among the 151 Jewish creatives who signed an open letter backing director Jonathan Glazer and his Oscar's speech where he implied the tragedy of the Holocaust was being 'hijacked by an occupation'.
But despite her steadfast beliefs, she has been left in 'agony' adding how 'the abused have become the abusers' comparing Gaza to concentration camps during World War II.
'All the time, I'm thinking in Gaza, they've been told to move and move and move. And they're being bombed, and nobody's doing anything,' she told the Telegraph.
But her strong political opinions, has led to clashes with several friends including Coronation Street actress Maureen Lipman.
'Jewish people regard me with loathing, as someone who betrayed my nation and aligned myself with the Devil,' the actress told Saga.
'That is also the opinion of my erstwhile friend Dame Maureen Lipman, who is horrified by my attitude.'
Margolyes continued: 'I have no doubt I am right. I am convinced that killing women and children is totally wicked, does not help Israel or anybody.
'It's just vile. How it has been allowed to go on for so long, I don't know.'

Wow.
Miriam looks like she’s morphing into what Andrea Dworkin might have looked like, had she actually made it into her seventies.
These people are wiser than you, Miriam. You have been brainwashed to hate yourself.
When the 'abused' become the 'abusers', it's called making the abusers pay a price for their actions. It's called not letting them walk away scott-free. It's called letting them know what will happen to them it they try it again. It's called deterrence.
