Hamas holds hostages and controls bases and settlements in Israel. There were more than 1,500 injured and heavy fighting is still ongoing. “I hear their voices and they are knocking on the door. I’m with my two young children.’ My heart hurts. I pray for everyone who is in pain.”

Joshua Malina, known for his roles in Scandal and The West Wing, is a Jewish actor who has spoken out about the terrible situation in Israel. Sharing a screenshot of a message about Hamas’ attack on Israel on X (formerly known as Twitter), Malina wrote: “Terrible news to wake up to.”

Jamie Lee Curtis

Amy Schumer

Comedian Amy Schumer tweeted, reposting a post from Guy Oseary, and wrote, “Jewish people are the only group not allowed to defend themselves.” This has absolutely nothing to do with the occupation. Hamas does not want the occupation to end. They want to wipe out Israel. “They are being financed by Iran, which is trying to derail the peace deal.”

Sarah Silverman

Sarah Silverman, a comedian, expressed her condolences for her sister, nieces and other family members who are currently stranded in Israel. Silverman posted on X and wrote: “My sister, my nieces and nephews are here.” They have been opposing BIBI for months. Strive for a two-state solution. Israelis are Jews, Arabs and people of all races. This is pretty complicated. But make no mistake: Hamas is a terrorist organization whose stated goal is to kill all Jews. “This damn world is breaking my heart.”
