Letter to the editor from Javier Bardem on the slaughter in Gaza


Only geopolitical alliances, the hypocritical mask of business-for example, the sale of arms-explain the embarrassing position of U.S., EU and Spain

The horror is happening in Gaza should be NO neutrality or equidistance. It is a war of occupation and extermination against a people without means, confined in a minimum territory without water and where hospitals, ambulances and children are white and suspected terrorists. Difficult to understand and impossible to justify. And shameful stance of Western international community allow such genocide.

I do not understand this barbarism that horrible history of the Jewish people become even more cruelly incomprehensible. Only geopolitical alliances, the hypocritical mask of business-for example, the sale of arms-explain the embarrassing position of U.S., EU and Spain.

I know that you always would reject my right to review personal issues, so I want to clarify the following points:

Yes, my son was born in a Jewish hospital because I have very dear and close people who are Jewish and because being Jewish is not synonymous with support this slaughter, like be Hebrew is not the same as being a Zionist and Palestinian self is not to be a Hamas terrorist. That's as absurd as saying that German will be akin to Nazism.

Yes, I work also in the USA where I have Jewish friends and acquaintances who reject such interventions and policies of aggression. "You can not invoke self-defense while murdering children," one of them told me by phone yesterday. And others that discuss openly found on our positions.

Yes, I'm European and I am ashamed to say represent a community with its silence and no shame.

Yes, I live in Spain I pay my taxes and do not want my money to fund policies that support this barbarism and arms trade with other countries that are enriched killing innocent children.

Yes, I am disgusted, embarrassed and hurt by so much injustice and murder of human beings. These children are our children. It is the horror. Hopefully you have compassion in the hearts of those who kill and clear this poison murderer who only creates more hatred and violence. Those Israelis and Palestinians who only dream of peace and coexistence may one day share your solution.
