Whenever you’ve misplaced CNN…
Hollywood celebrities spent the final two years principally ignoring the hostages held by the terrorist group Hamas.
Main awards reveals got here and went, and if the Center East got here up in any respect, it concerned numerous iterations of “Free Palestine!”
Actor/comic Michael Rapaport skewered this ethical quicksand with a devastating 2024 Oscar parody.
On the identical time, stars used each platform potential to assault Israel, dub retaliatory strikes towards Hamas “genocide,” and even boycott Israeli-aligned teams.
Now, after a fragile peace deal struck by President Donald Trump has cooled the cultural temperature, a lot of the identical stars have been shockingly silent on the matter.

To take action, it leads with “No one Desires This” creator Erin Foster’s damning Instagram feedback.

Debra Messing couldn’t maintain again her anger towards the “ceasefire now” motion, presumably inside Hollywood and past, by way of Instagram.
“After 2 years of screaming ‘Ceasefire Now!!’ It’s clear that was by no means the difficulty. It was eradicating Israel … the silence of the ‘Free Palestine’ motion is sickening…Your silence makes it unavoidably apparent that it’s solely about terrorizing Jews.”
It’s the sort of story most information shops may and may cowl. It’s additionally one thing you gained’t discover at Deadline, The Hollywood Reporter or Selection. These far-Left websites routinely cowl for Tinsel City if choose tales disgrace the business.
Stated shaming normally has a political part.

Rapaport was certainly one of President Trump’s loudest critics. Now, he says he can’t convey himself to mock the person in spite of everything he has achieved for Israel.

I completely am grateful to @POTUS. It by no means would have occurred however for him. This POTUS is the best buddy to Israel of any US POTUS.
