Hollywood actor John Cusack said anyone who doesn’t support a ceasefire in Gaza has “no soul.”
John Cusack was reacting to a viral video from a pro-Palestinian account that appears to show a young Palestinian girl covered in blood.
“If you don’t call for a cease fire — You have no soul,” he wrote in an X post on Thursday. “It’s the most shameful thing I can imagine – staying silent in the face of this.”
My god - my god - if you don’t call for a cease fire - You have no soul -

A ceasefire would allow Hamas to re-arm and replenish its resources before it is allowed to resume its stated goal of eliminating Israel from the map.
Later, Cusack wrote that Israel’s response to the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks is “unmatched in depravity.” He omitted any mention of the fact that Hamas slaughtered 1,200 Israelis that day.
Words fail - the barbarity of the western response is unmatched In depravity / imagine Oct 7 th going on for 115 days ? https://t.co/23y26xjNhd

Cusack is the latest in a growing line of celebrities pressuring Israel to commit to a ceasefire in Gaza following the October 7 Hamas terrorist attacks.
A week ago, pop star Dua Lipa called for a “humanitarian ceasefire” in Gaza.
A group of A-list Hollywood celebrities including Joaquin Phoenix, Cate Blanchett, Channing Tatum, Jessica Chastain, Andrew Garfield, and Kristen Stewart recently signed a letter to President Joe Biden demanding “an immediate de-escalation and ceasefire in Gaza and Israel.”
