It's beyond me why someone as rich as her and with such a huge fanbase can't wait to get down on her knees and grovel to the zionazis! I mean, what can they really do to her? Fuck all as far as I'm concerned, yet here she is with the old "unreserved apology! Just what is she really afraid of?
I see French's post made that professional victim, the lying Tracy-Ann Oberman, "so saddened"...well it would, wouldn't it, I mean it's so much worse than murdering tens of thousands of children, after all!
quote: Dawn French says sorry for posting 'one-sided' Gaza video
Dawn French has taken down a video she posted on Instagram about the war in Gaza, saying she apologised "unreservedly" for it.
The video sparked a backlash, with critics accusing the actress and comedian of appearing to "mock" the 7 October 2023 attack that triggered the war.
On Saturday, French acknowledged on Instagram, external that the video "appeared one-sided", and said she never meant to "mock, or dismiss, or diminish the horror" of that day.
"I hope you will understand my intention was not to offend, but I clearly have. For which I am sorry and I have removed the video," she added.
In the 40-second video, posted earlier this week, the Vicar of Dibley star shared her views on the ongoing war, saying: "Complicated, no, but nuanced. But [the] bottom line is no."
Switching into a high-pitched voice, she went on to say: "Yeah, but you know they did a bad thing to us, yeah but no. But we want that land... and we have history… No. Those people aren't really even people, are they really? No."
On social media, people were quick to criticise her, with actress Tracy-Ann Oberman saying, external she was "so saddened" by the post.
"This mocking voice 'bad thing' of October 7 that Dawn (who I revere by the way) appears [to] be mocking involved the most horrific terrorist attack involving rape, sexual violence, burning alive, child mutilation and taking of civilian hostages," she wrote.
"Why would Dawn seem to deny that which has affected so many of us personally in the most painful way possible."
MP Rosie Duffield commented on Oberman's post, writing: "One can, and should hate what is happening in Gaza and also condemn the hideous events of October 7th.
"It is agonising to see events unfold, and requires extremely careful, measured and well-considered comments and actions. This is not that."
Meanwhile, screenwriter and activist Lee Kern called her video, external "sneering mockery".
Responding to the backlash, French said that she had posted a video in the style that she has been using for social media "in an effort to convey an important point".
She added that she had "clumsily used a mocking tone".
"My intention was NEVER to mock, or dismiss, or diminish the horror of what happened on 7 October 2023 and what continues to unfold from that brutal unthinkable, unforgiveable, savage attack," she said.
She said her intention had been "to mock and point the finger of shame at the behaviour of the cruel leaders on all sides of this atrocious war".
"THEY were my target, but clearly I failed to do that, and that's on me. I apologise unreservedly, and I'm particularly sorry that my disgust at Hamas didn't figure. It appeared one-sided and that is wrong."
Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led cross-border attack almost 20 months ago, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.
Some 54 of those captured during the attack remain in captivity, including 31 the Israeli military says are dead.
At least 54,607 people have been killed in Gaza since then, including 4,335 since Israel resumed its offensive on 18 March, according to the Hamas-run Gaza health ministry.
...I put "The Maldeen" in the search box and got seven hits, five of those were from three to four days ago and included in the seven was an obiturary for one, Maldeen Martin, 1928 - 2025.
The Freedom Flotilla? What Freedom Flotilla!
"The video sparked a backlash, with critics accusing the actress..."
As with the phrase "some would say" the word "critics" needs to be defined here, but of course is not.
Here's the great John Pilger, being interviewed by the not-so-great Radio NZ host Jim Mora in 2008. At the 7:22 mark, he reacts to Mora saying "people would disagree" with the statement that the U.S. is not a democracy; at he 13:00 mark he reacts to Mora's wielding of "some would say"...
'Israel launched a military campaign in Gaza in response to the Hamas-led cross-border attack almost 20 months ago, in which about 1,200 people were killed and 251 others were taken hostage.'
There's the arse-covering formulation I predicted. Not too difficult really, if in doubt fall back to the passive voice. Who killed them? Don't know, could be anybody! But we all know what loyal, license-fee paying beeb readers are going to assume. I notice they're not rushing to correct the endlessly disproven hasbara lies spewed by Oberman, namely Oct 7th being supposedly:
'the most horrific terrorist attack involving rape, sexual violence, burning alive, child mutilation and taking of civilian hostages'
Anyway, wish I could say I was surprised by yet another capitulation from a media luvvie. The really surprising thing is that she said anything at all in the first place... 20 months too late.

In addition to your point, it's noticeable the change to "1,200 were killed on Oct 7th" or things very similar as opposed to the "Hamas killed 1,200 on Oct 7th" Lets then cover their arses if accused of ignoring the Hannibal Directive and how many people Israel killed on October 7th by saying "but we never said Hamas killed 1,200, just that 1,200 were killed on that day". I have seen the switch in quite a few reports the last couple of months...maybe another little sign they fear they might have to account for their lies at some point.

The usual suspects again I see; Oberman and that drooling maniac Kern. The luvvie class really are suceptible to pressure from the zionist lunatics it seems.
In the states there were very high profile people (Sarrandon for one) that were dropped by the agents and studios for speaking out for Palestine, but of course, to suggest that there is some kind of zionist control of Hollywood is anti-semitic.The corporate media are complicit in the Gaza genocide. Never forget what they did. Never forgive them for it.
