“Israel kills, USA funds”: Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem speaks out on Gaza genocide

Oscar-winning Spanish actor Javier Bardem has amplified his impassioned stance on the war on Gaza with a stark statement posted recently on his Instagram profile.

"ISRAEL kills. The USA funds it. EUROPE supports it,” Bardem captioned the video he posted, showing a man holding the lifeless body of a child killed in an “Israeli” attack on the Gaza Strip.

“Only we, the decent people, are left to DENOUNCE THIS GENOCIDE!! DON’T STAY SILENT! OR YOU WILL BE COMPLICIT,” Bardem said.

Bardem's latest social media post echoes and intensifies sentiments he has expressed in recent months.

At the San Sebastian Film Festival in 2024, Bardem declared that he was "no longer comfortable being silent on Gaza".

Bardem has gone further, labeling the situation as "genocide taking place in front of our eyes in 4K" and accusing the “Israeli” government of "crimes against humanity" and "violations of international law" at the F1 movie premiere in New York and during an appearance on ABC's The View.
