Javier Bardem and Penélope Cruz, who have denounced Israel's military campaign against Gaza. Photograph: Dave M Benett/WireImage A group of Spain's biggest film personalities, including Penélope Cruz, Pedro Almodóvar and Javier Bardem, have written an open letter in a Spanish newspaper denouncing Israel's bombing of Gaza.

The letter calls for the EU to "condemn the bombing by land, sea and air against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip... Gaza is living through horror these days, besieged and attacked by land, sea and air. Palestinians' homes are being destroyed, they are being denied water, electricity [and] free movement to their hospitals, schools and fields while the international community does nothing."

They lamented the "physical, moral, psychological" effect that the attacks are having on the people of Gaza, and also called for an end to the Israeli blockade that restricts what can be taken across the Gaza border.

Im convinced the reason some of these celebriTURDS are doing this is because they think its now “Cool” to hate Israel, they want more fans..they don’t care about the Jewish fans they might lose because they will make up for it with new Arab fans..that is why they are doing it, for fame..if these idiots were around in the 30s they would be calling Hitler a good guy

I have no use for Spain anyway. They burned Jews at the stake, subjected them to horrific acts of torture, confiscated their goods, expelled them wholesale from their country in 1492, and now they give us Peanutty-pee Cruz and her husband Javier Bardem. Who gives a fig what 2 shallow celebs have to say?

this is not anti-semitism. Is it anti-Israel or leftist. Those 3 terms tend to align quite often, but not always.

Also, since these are film personalities, I would consider this "stupid people saying stupid things" and ignore them

Did these people speak out against Putin in the Ukraine?

Why are they picking on Israel?

I’m sorry, it is anti-semitism in their case.

If the Palestinians want peace, why do they execute anti-war protesters?

"I would.....just ignore them."

Get a grip. Silence can mean acquiescence. Freepers know what lack of pushback meant with a mute President Bush. We're still suffering from it and WILL suffer from it for a long time.

These three anti-Israeli no-names deserve shunning....i.e. boycotting of whatever they do, whatever they produce, wherever they appear or whatever they endorse.

These islamist facilitators evidently want the return of Al Andalus.
