That terrible video that has just been made public, of five just captured Israeli girls, faces bloodied, surrounded by the machine-gun toting baying wolves of Hamas who kept shoving them up against a wall and threatening them with death, while making remarks full of innuendo and sexual threat — “these are girls you can get pregnant,” “you are beautiful,” “a sex slave” — has attracted lots of horrified comment. But not from everyone. The celebrities who are rooting for Hamas were silent about this video. Instead, they had their usual anti-Israel venom to spew. More on these creatures can be found here: “Anti-Israel Celebrities Remain Silent After New Hamas Video Shows Kidnapping of Female Israeli Hostages,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, May 23, 2024:
Celebrities who have regularly expressed anti-Israel sentiments since the start of the Israel-Hamas war stayed quiet on Wednesday in response to a heart-wrenching new video that shows the moments when five female Israeli soldiers were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists on Oct. 7 in southern Israel.
Mark Ruffalo, Susan Sarandon, John Cusack, and Bella Hadid were among the celebrities who stayed tight-lipped as the world saw the newly released, firsthand footage in which Hamas terrorists force the female Israeli soldiers, who are covered in blood, against a wall and threaten to kill them. The women, some of whom are teenagers, were kidnapped by Hamas terrorists at the Nahal Oz base in southern Israel near the Gaza Strip. The video was taken by body cameras on the Hamas terrorists and the hostages were identified as Naama Levy, Agam Berger, Daniela Gilboa, Liri Albag, and Karina Ariev. They have been held hostage by Hamas terrorists for more than seven months.
In the clip, Hamas terrorists are heard telling the hostages in Arabic, “you dogs, we will step on you,” and “our brothers died because of you. We will shoot you all.” They also call the women “so beautiful,” and one terrorist points to the hostages while saying in Arabic, “here are the girls” who can get pregnant and “these are the Zionists.”
Instead of addressing the new Hamas video, Ruffalo — who supports a Israel-Hamas ceasefire—meaning he wants the IDF to stop fighting before it has accomplished its stated aim of dismantling Hamas —and has condemned Israel’s war against terrorists responsible for the Oct. 7 attacks — instead expressed support on Wednesday for the chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court and his demand for arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s defense minister, and three Hamas leaders.
Of course, Mark Ruffalo was delighted with ICC chief prosecutor Karim Khan. Khan, after all, has requested that the ICC issue arrest warrants not just for Hamas leaders Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif, and Ismail Haniyeh, but also for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, treating Israel’s leaders as morally equivalent to Hamas terrorists. Ruffalo sees nothing wrong with this; he’s convinced that the Israeli leaders are just as, or perhaps even more guilty, of “war crimes” and “crimes against humanity.” Why should Ruffalo comment on the video? After all, he may even be thinking that it is a clever Mossad put-up job. Or even if it is real, why should he be expected to comment on every aspect of the Gaza War? Besides, he knows there are plenty of people parroting Israeli propaganda; he wants to be on the other hand, to give voice to the voiceless, to stand up for Hamas.
Meanwhile, Cusack called Israel “war criminals” and shared a tweet that described the Jewish state as “genocidal,” but made no mention of the Hamas video.
Presented with video evidence of a real “war crime,” John Cusack preferred to remain silent, instead still harping on Israeli “war criminals” and the Jewish state’s “genocide.” Apparently he remains unimpressed with the 15 million text messages, the 16 million prerecorded messages, the 100,000 personal calls, and the nine million leaflets that were dropped — all part of a colossal campaign by the IDF to warn civilians away from sites and buildings about to be targeted. Do those warnings suggest an intention to commit “genocide”? And what of the eight field hospitals the IDF set up inside Gaza, or the Gazans who needed advanced care and were brought back by the IDF to be treated at Israeli hospitals. Genocide, Mr. Cusack? What genocide?
Where is your outrage, John Cusack? Or yours, Susan Sarandon? And what about you, Mark Ruffalo? Not a tear to shed for the five girls in that video? How did your moral sense become so pitiful and twisted?

5 times your comment shows up. It’s not Mr. Spencer …it’s something to do with your computer, your server, service, ….tech.
Give it a few minutes….it took two between your first and second comments to show up the first one..

Mark Ruffalo is a bit strange. He’s a great actor, and I liked his potrayal of Bruce Banner in the Marvel movies (he was better than Edward Norton and Eric Bana, IMHO, and rivals the late Bill Bixby (“David Bruce Banner”) from the Hulk T.V. show.
In “Spotlight” he (Ruffalo) played a character who helped expose the cover-ups of Catholic priests who had been sexually abusing young people in the Boston archdiocese (this is based on a true story). He was really good in that movie.
Why then, does he not show more empathy towards Israeli women and girls, and other Israelis who have suffered even worse crimes (sexual and otherwise) from HamAss?
Levy says
He is a bit strange that’s a very polite way to describe that stupid guy who is only an actor which obviously everyone can be today with connections to Hollywood!!!
Because he is an actor that does not make him special, and hopefully in the future Americans will remember people like him
People can be so stupid like Susan Sarandon, which is actually a
Actor, but one does not need a lot of brain to be an actor

Scum supporting scum. Birds of a feather….vultures swarm over the dead and dying to feast and fight each other for every morsel. And then pay no heed to the skeletons left to dry in the sun.
And one of the unfavorites….gets paid tax dollars to “rep” us…showing, once again, the ghoul inside her…the lying snake….ugly inside and out evil
“Rashida Tlaib attends conference honoring terrorists, hosting terrorist speaker”
“Michigan congresswoman Rashida Tlaib spoke on Saturday at a Detroit Pro-Palestinian conference that advocated on behalf of terrorism, honored terrorists, and featured a member of a terrorist organization as a panelist.
Tlaib made a surprise appearance at the People’s Conference for Palestine, an event that saw dozens of the anti-Israel groups involved in the post-October 7 protests in attendance, while Dearborn Michigan Mayor Abdullah Hammoud gave a video address.
The May 24-26 conference is set to have Wisam Rafeedie as a speaker at a workshop on Sunday, the last day of the event. According to Amnesty International, Rafeedie is an activist for the Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine. The PFLP is designated as a foreign terrorist organization by the US State Department.”
Kick her and her fellow terrorists out….way out.

Someone show this to Pope Francis. I want to know how he calls this acceptable. He constantly says the Muslims is the Christians brother. This is not brotherly by any definition.
Francis explain — this is how Christ wanted people to be treated.

This is an insoluble religious war. That they are Abrahamic religions maybe their link, their advocates and scholars see too many differences for them to be overcome.If this s is what religion does, I am happy to be an atheist, free of all the medieval craziness advocated and blessed to be a freethinker in a brave new world!

Truth sounds like hate to those who hate truth.
To witness thugs abusing young girls and then calling the men that are trying to hunt down these thugs as the bad dudes tells me just how twisted life has become.
David says
They can’t. It would destroy their carefully crafted narrative.
John Pepple says
I’m not so concerned about the celebrities as I am about the feminists. Where are they? This should be a no-brainer for them. They should be saying, “We deplore the use of rape as a tool of war.” But they are not. They should be marching against it, but they are not.
Mike says
Because “It’s not rape if a Muslim does it!” This is really how twisted many of the “woke” crowd have become.
Rick Gordon says
I’d like to see those names publicized so Americans can see the hateful venom and lies they propagate. They are as bad as the ‘squad’ scum in Congress.
James Lincoln says
So, “celebrities”, I guess the video does not fit your “narrative”.
Can’t have that…

Some people will NEVER admit they are WRONG. Or they are on the side of EVIL.

There never was or will be peace for the Jews in Israel because from DayOne they were attacked, hated beyond human comprehension. It’s the longest hate, a blood libel that will never go away. The Jews have turned their sliver of the desert into a paradise. Their enemies surround them, hate them are jealous of them and only dream of killing them. The Jews are brave like Daniel and maybe someday they will slew their Goliath that surrounds them on all sides except the sea.
Noah Andeark says
Thomas Sowell said it best when asked what can Jews do to not be hated. He responded with “fail”.

For decades we conservatives have always know these hard core Hollywood leftists were nothing more than provocateurs against American exceptionalism. Genocidal sociopaths all have the same traits, taking the side of evil, and apathy towards decency and respect of human dignity. I despise the movie industry in what it has turned into over the past 30 yrs. Political arm of the genocidal left.

People on the Highway to Hell are ostensibly under a hypnotic influence from the demons of the pit. Their catatonic behavior is proof of an infernal psychological captivity. Their allegiance to anti-Semitism is The Mark of The Beast is it not? The evidence is almost ABSOLUTELY INDISPUTABLE.
Rick Smith says
These idiot Lefties minds are warped by propaganda and lies…the Muslims have been able to convince them that they are permanent victims, so in their mind this taking of hostages/raping/killing them is justified.
Is this what so-called oppressed people do, take hostages? It’s a big neon sign flashing in their face that they’ve been lied to and are suckers…but they never seem to wake up, maybe cause they’re rotten and evil themselves, pretending to be ‘good’ people.
Whatever the case, Israel needs to stick to its guns, tear Hamas to shreds and fk any civilians that get in the way, the vast majority of them support Hamas anyways and they danced in the streets whenever a Jew man/woman/child was murdered by them.
What is a bigger problem for us in the West is the growing Muslim population and Hamas supporters…we need to put deportation on the table and start removing the so-called ‘radicals’ at the very least or we’ll see Oct 7’s happening on our soil too.
