Spanish Film Stars Denounce Israeli "Genocide;" Ask EU to Condemn Bombing of Civilians in Gaza

Dozens of Spanish film stars, directors, musicians, and writers -- led by Oscar winners Penelope Cruz, Javier Bardem, and Pedro Almodovar -- have denounced Israel's invasion of Gaza, the Hollywood Reporter website reports today (July 29, 2014).

They also called on the European Union (EU) to "condemn the bombing by land, sea, and air against the Palestinian civilian population in the Gaza Strip." Moreover, they described Israel's aggression in Gaza as "genocide."

In the open letter, they demanded a cease-fire by the Israeli military and urged Israel to "lift the blockade, which the Gaza Strip has suffered for more than a decade."

The letter also said: "Gaza is living through horror these days, besieged and attacked by land, sea, and air. Palestinians' homes are being destroyed; they are being denied water, electricity, [and] free movement to their hospitals, schools, and fields while the international community does nothing."
