John Cusack Says Reaction to Hamas Attacks ‘Echoes’ 9/11: ‘Surreal’ 'The framing of the stories are all pushing the narrative of the tragic inevitability of continued violence,' the 'Say Anything' actor wrote on X Published |Updated Olivia Jakiel John Cusack is comparing the reaction to the Hamas attacks on Israel to the Sept. 11 al Qaeda attacks on the United States. "The coverage of this ongoing crisis — is surreal and echoes 9/11 — the framing of the stories are all pushing the narrative of the tragic inevitability of continued violence — and always reinforcing the idea the continued killings are rooted in a just cause," the Say Anything actor wrote on X (formerly Twitter) Monday. He continued: "Not many voices on air calling [for] a ceasefire — None of the footage reported from good sources is making it on air." Earlier this month, militant group Hamas led an assault on Israel that left over 1,400 dead and incited a wave of sexual violence, torture and kidnapping. In response, Israel declared war on Hamas, warning over one million people to make a mass exodus from Gaza within a 24-hour deadline, forcing residents to flee ahead of a potential invasion. Over the weekend, Cusack detailed his experience attending the Palestinian march in Chicago, Ill., writing in a lengthy post on X, "I’ll tell you what I didn’t hear — I didn’t hear death to Israel — I didn’t hear death to Jews — I didn’t hear people celebrating the murders of Israeli civilians." He added, "What I DID hear is — we must free Palestine from a brutal occupation — people concerned for their loved ones, in a hell zone, stuck without food, water and power. Deep anguish over people being told to leave and bombed as they left." https://themessenger.com/entertainment/john-cusack-reaction-hamas-attacks-echoes-911 |
