Hollywood blacklists Cruz, Bardem over Gaza letter

• http://www.lewrockwell.com

The decision against Javier Bardem and Penelope Cruz came after the Oscar-winning couple signed an open letter, denouncing "the genocide perpetrated by the Israeli occupation army."

The letter said Israel is stoking the conflict by "advancing on Palestinian territories instead of withdrawing to the 1967 borders."

The letter calls for the EU to "condemn the bombing by land, sea and air against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip? Gaza is living through horror these days, besieged and attacked by land, sea and air. Palestinians' homes are being destroyed, they are being denied water, electricity [and] free movement to their hospitals, schools and fields while the international community does nothing."

More than 1,900 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed and over 10,000 injured in four weeks of Israeli aerial and ground assaults on the Gaza Strip.

Actor Jon Voight has called for the two to "hang your heads in shame." He alleged they had stoked "the fire of anti-semitism."
