Hollywood stars are showing their support for Israel amid the ongoing Palestinian conflict!
Unvary of the fact that Gaza’s blockade had been ongoing for the last 16 years.
Hollywood stars, as usual, came forward showing their support for Israel, following the Hamas attack, which occurred early Saturday morning on Shabbat and coincided with the Jewish high holiday of Simchat Torah, which is being called “Israel’s 9/11”.
Following the Hamas attack, Israel ordered a “complete siege” of Gaza on Monday, cutting off the region’s all electricity, food, and water to the area.
More than 1000 Palestinians have been killed by Israel airstrikes, in response to the Hamas attack, and Hollywood celebrities can’t see the difference between the oppressed and the oppressor.
Some of Hollywood’s biggest stars took to social media to lend their support to Israel.
Gal Gadot, Madonna, Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Natalie Portman, Josh Gad, Selma Blair, Andy Cohen, Jamie Lee Curtis, Debra Messing, Amy Schumer, Sarah Silverman, Kris Jenner, Mindy Kaling and Meghan McCain are among the celebrities who stand alongside Israel.
Israeli actor Gal Gadot, who served two mandatory years in the Israel Defense Forces as a combat fitness instructor, wrote, “I stand with Israel you should too. The world cannot sit on the fence when these horrific acts of terror are happening!
Natalie Portman who is Jewish, wrote on Instagram: “My heart is shattered for the people of Israel. Children, women, and the elderly have been murdered and abducted from their own homes. I am in horror at these barbaric acts and my heart is pounding with love and prayer for the families of all affected.”
The Rock — who with 392 million Instagram followers is the fifth most followed individual on the platform in the world — posted a statement saying, “I’m heartbroken, angry, and sickened by the brutal murders and kidnapping of Jewish people through the horrific acts of the Hamas terrorist group.”
“The growing loss of innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives is heart-wrenching as this war escalates to immense proportions,” Johnson wrote.
Madonna posted a video on her Instagram, with a caption saying: “Watching all of these families and especially children being herded, assaulted and murdered in the streets is Heartbreaking. Imagine if this was happening to you??” She continued, “My heart goes out to Israel. To Families and Homes that have been destroyed. To children who are lost. To Innocent Victims who have Been Killed. To All who are Suffering or who will suffer from this conflict. I am praying For you. I am aware that this is the work of Hamas and there are many innocent people in Palestine who do not support this terrorist organization. This Tragic attack will only cause more suffering for everyone.”
Josh Gad, who comes from a family of Holocaust survivors, posted: “I have no words. I am praying for my many family members in Israel. What a cowardly act. What we are witnessing in real-time right now is unprecedented since the Yom Kippur war. My heart breaks for the families of those who have lost loved ones, and for the hostages who have been taken. What a horrific day.”
Selma Blair, who is Jewish, commented on social media to offer her unwavering support to Israel and Jews around the world. “A warning to the American people, as this evil has happened on Israeli soil, so too is it already among us. We will be vilified for doing what we know is right,” Blair wrote. “The Jews have never been safe. And I am asking for every ally to realize what this again means for Jews everywhere. If Israel is not protected, we will know a very brutal reality. Israel. My spirit home. I stand with you.”
B.J. Novak, who is also Jewish, wrote on his Instagram stories: “My heart will always be broken by the unspeakable horrors committed against the people of Israel. I pray for a future without hate, without horror, without Hamas. I stand with Israel.”
Over the weekend, Kylie Jenner — who has nearly 400 million Instagram followers —shared a photo with her pro-Israel stance, Stand With Us. The image featured the Israeli flag and said, “Now and always, we stand with the people in Israel!”
After her Instagram was flooded with pro-Palestine commenters, Jenner deleted the post.

My sister and nieces and nephews are there. They’ve been protesting BIBI for months. Fight for a two state solution. Israelis are Jews and Arabs and all colors. There is so much complexity to this. But make NO MISTAKE Hamas is a terror organization who’s mission statement is kill… https://t.co/RzfeXk13Vr
