He began his answer to a question about politics and Israel by saying “What is happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable, it is terrible, it is dehumanizing. I believe that this Israeli government is the most radical government that Israel has ever had.”
Bardem continued to say that he believed the country’s government “is committing crimes against humanity.”
“Obviously, the atrocious, terrible, and reprehensible attacks on October 7th, do not justify this massive punishment that the Palestinian population is suffering,” he added.
“The impunity that the current Israeli government enjoys in its actions in Gaza and the West Bank has to change. I think that countries like the United States, Germany, and England in particular have to rethink their unconditional support when we see crimes. Prohibiting the entry of food, water, medicine, and electricity, as UNICEF says, is a war against children, and continues this trauma for generations.”
“Israel’s extreme right-wing nationalist government is not at all representative of the Jewish community or Israeli society,” he added. “It is our responsibility to be able to observe and denounce those situations that we consider unacceptable, and to ask the International Criminal Court, the international justice of the United Nations, to condemn and judge those responsible. In this case, Netanyahu. To give unconditional support is more than giving wings to the abuse of international law.”
