Mark Ruffalo gives a shoutout to Javier Bardem
Mark, while tweeting Javier's video on Israel-Hamas war, captioned his post as, “Thank you Javier Bardem for your decency, your courage, and love for all human beings. You are a beacon of light, amigo.” Javier had shared his long speech on his Instagram handle. In the video, the actor said, “Obviously, talking about this takes me directly to Gaza. What's happening in Gaza is completely unacceptable, it's terrible, it's dehumanising. I believe that the Israeli government is the most radical government in Israel's history, that it's committing crimes against humanity, that it's committing crimes against international laws, investigated by the International Criminal Court, that obviously, the atrocious, terrible and condemnable brutal attacks by Hamas on October 7 do not justify the massive punishment that the Palestinian population is enduring. I think the impunity the current Israeli government enjoys in its actions in Gaza and the West Bank has to change.”
Javier Bardem condemns human rights violations
He further said, “I believe USA, Germany, the UK, especially, need to rethink their logic of behaviour and unconditional support when we are witnessing crimes against human rights, crimes against international law, such as, for example, the banning of food, water, medicines, electricity, medicines using, as UNICEF says, war against children and the trauma that's being created for generations.” Javier captioned his post as, “We cannot remain indifferent #Gaza.”
