Javier Bardem claims “Free Palestine” at the Emmy Awards

ByMuhammad

In Los Angeles, Javier Bardem transformed the red carpet of the Emmy Awards into a committed expression space. Arrived draped with a keffiEh, the Spanish actor denounced, on the night of Sunday to Monday, “the genocide in Gaza”. “” The IAGS (the International Association of University Specialists in Genocides), researchers who work exhaustively on these subjects, said it was a genocide. This is why we demand a commercial and diplomatic blockade as well as sanctions against Israel to put an end to this genocide. Free Palestine! “, he told the media Variety. Member of the Collective Film Workers for Palestine, Bardem made the 77ᵉ edition of the “Oscars of American television” a scene of solidarity with the Palestinian people.

His gesture immediately aroused a broad echo on social networks, where many Internet users welcome “rare courage” in a Hollywood industry often cautious to approach the Palestinian question. Others, more critical, accuse the actor of politicizing an event dedicated to television. By daring to mix art and political conscience, Javier Bardem honors his profession and recalls that the acting profession is not limited to the scene or the screen, but can also bear a word that counts. His commitment gives his presence at the Emmy Awards a dimension that is both artistic and deeply ethical.
