Jennifer Lawrence has accused Israel of “genocide” in its war against Hamas in Gaza, joining other popular film stars to level that charge.
Asked about the Gaza war and other hot-button political issues during a press conference about her new movie “Die,” Lawrence said, “I’m terrified. It’s mortifying. What’s happening is no less than a genocide and it’s terrible.”
“What makes me so sad is the disrespect in the discourse of American politics right now and how that is going to be normalized to the kids right now,” she continued, according to the Guardian. “It’s going to be normal to them that politicians lie.”
Lawrence also calls to “stay focused on who is responsible,” in apparent reference to a recent pledge signed by members of the film industry to boycott their Israeli counterparts.
