Jennifer Lawrence calls Israeli offensive ‘genocide’ at San Sebastian Film Festival
San Sebastian/Spain: Hollywood actress Jennifer Lawrence has described Israel’s ongoing offensive in Gaza as “no less than a genocide.” Speaking at a press conference during the San Sebastian Film Festival on Friday, the Oscar-winning actor said she was “terrified” for her own children and for future generations due to the normalization of lies in American politics.
“What’s happening is no less than a genocide, and it’s unacceptable,” Lawrence was quoted as saying by Agence France-Presse. She added, “I am terrified for my children, for all of our children. Politicians lie, there’s no empathy, and everybody needs to remember that when you ignore what’s happening on one side of the world, it won’t be long until it’s on your side as well.”
The actress, a mother of two, warned that politics without integrity is fast becoming “totally normal” in the United States.
Meanwhile, the Hague Group, a coalition of more than thirty governments, urged its members to cut ties with Israel in arms, finance, and energy sectors. Meeting on the sidelines of the 80th United Nations General Assembly in New York, the bloc called for coordinated action to isolate Israel and enforce international law, stressing that accountability should extend through “courts, ports, contracts, factories, and financial systems.”
