Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, Natalie Portman & more: Hollywood celebs come out in support of Israel amid Hamas attacks
Hollywood celebs like Gal Gadot, Dwayne Johnson, Natalie Portman, Madonna and many others have come out in support of Israel after Hamas launched a surprise attack this past weekend, firing thousands of rockets from Gaza, which killed more than 900 people with over 100 civilians kidnapped and held hostage.
The President of the United States of America condemned the attack over the weekend and said in a statement, “The United States unequivocally condemns this appalling assault against Israel by Hamas terrorists from Gaza, and I made clear to Prime Minister Netanyahu that we stand ready to offer all appropriate means of support to the Government and people of Israel. Terrorism is never justified,” He added, “My Administration’s support for Israel’s security is rock solid and unwavering.”
Talking about the celebs, Gal Gadot, who has been posting daily about Israel being under attack, shared a post, which read, “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 by origin, shared, “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.”
Former wrestler and movie star, who is the fifth most followed personality on Instagram with over 392 million followers, wrote, “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.”
Sharing footage of rockets and slain bodies on the streets of Israel, Madonna shared a statement, which read, “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?? 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. Im 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.”
Actor and comedian 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.”
Jewish actress and writer Selma Blair offered her unwavering support to Israel and Jews around the world and wrote on social media, “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.”
