Hollywood hypocrites Why aren’t all the Israel-bashing celebrities celebrating cease-fire?
NYPost ^ | 10.10.25 | Kirsten Fleming

Last month..artists.. signed a petition pledging to not work w/ Israeli ...

Boldface signees included John Cusack, Joaquin Phoenix and director Ava DuVernay. This week, those three have simply shared videos criticizing Trump and the peace plan.

I expected a huge celebration from Stalter’s “Hacks” co-star Hannah Einbinder, who literally wore an “Artists4Ceasefire” pin to the Emmys and used her win to scream: “Free Palestine and f–k ICE.”

After this week’s news, she initially posted a video of her decrying Zionisim as a betrayal of Judaism and a sad meme about the Eagles losing to the Giants. By Friday night, two days after the fact, Einbinder found the right prepared post to share: “We are elated by the Gaza ceasefire news,” it reads in small type.

Larger are the words, “Now the world must hold Israel to account for 2 years of genocide[sic].”

I guess I shouldn’t be surprised. When Hamas murdered more than 1,200 innocent Israelis, kidnapped 251 hostages on October 7, 2023, there was relative silence from Hollywood’s hypocrites. And it eventually became much more fashionable to become a shameless Israel-basher.

Perhaps most shameless of all is Spanish actor Javier Bardem. He has posted a few videos of children celebrating in Gaza, but his happiness was tempered by whinging posts that the ceasefire does not address the real issue of a free Palestine.

Maybe he should take that up with boys from Hamas.

In 2014, Bardem & wife Penélope Cruz signed an open letter, published in a Spanish newspaper, accusing Israel of genocide[sic].

When the actor received blowback, he issued a statement saying, “While I was critical of the Israeli military response, I have great respect for the people of Israel & deep compassion for their losses.”

Fast-forward to the Emmys, when he showed up in a keffiyeh..

Hollywood hypocrites aren’t smart.... But maybe EVEN THEY are smart enough to know it won’t last; That their beloved Hamas ‘Palestinians’ will start slaughtering innocents before the ink is fully dry on the agreements.

John Cusack is one of the biggest leftards on the planet. Not surprising, since he became a wealthy actor pretty much straight out of high school. He’s been stewing in ignorant leftism ever since.

They don’t really care, they just want a cause to make themselves feel important because they’re narcissists.

IKR, especially since most people in Hollyweird go into show biz because they don’t have the brains or the depth of character to do anything else with their lives.

They don’t care about the Paliestinians or the Israelis. There media managers see what “the cool kids are doing” and they take that side. It’s an act.

“she initially posted a video of her decrying Zionism as a betrayal of Judaism”

She might try reading the Bible. It would be a nonstop Zionist screed, from her perspective.

Another more simple answer, underneath everything are simply Jewish hating people.
This was an excuse to show their true colors.

If Trump came out wearing a kaffeyah and announced that he was going to make Palestine a state, and that he backs Antifa 100%, and was going to open the border, and make abortion available to everybody, even tranny men, the left would suddenly be against all these things because, well, orang man bad.

All reason has fled the minds of these folks.

It’s not fashionable to support peace.

Why are they not celebrating?

Known to most people on this forum, it’s because it was done by Trump and they love their “Let’s Hate Trump” mantra too much to give it up.

Their biggest fear is that Trump will be successful. They would rather have the country go down in flames, than Trump be successful.

They don’t care about Gaza. They just hate Jews.

“”they just want a cause””

I agree but I don’t know about the rest of your sentence..they do want attention but why? Can’t make it without the spotlight? So it’s important to them no matter what they truly believe? We’ll never know but really, they’re not worth our time!
