Disney Marvel star Mark Ruffalo, HBO's Sex and the City Actress Cynthia Nixon and two-time Academy Award winner Mahershala Ali have both said arms exports to Israel are “illegal” as part of the latest efforts towards a ceasefire in Gaza.
The stars have signed a new call to action by Artists for a Ceasefire, which argues that arms exports to Israel violate U.S. and international law because Israel is committing “serious human rights violations.”
The group alleged that these violations included “attacks on schools and hospitals, restrictions on humanitarian access, and the killing of children.”
Artists for Safire did not mention the fact that Hamas leaders deliberately set up command centers and arms depots near hospitals and schools, and often use Gaza civilians as human shields.
“Our demand is simple: our elected leaders must enforce existing U.S. and international humanitarian law that prohibits the use of military assistance to commit 'serious human rights abuses,'” Ruffalo said in a statement. Reported by Variety.
Nixon reiterated his call for a ceasefire in Gaza.
“Enough is enough. The global call for a permanent ceasefire, supported at home by an overwhelming majority of the American people, must be answered,” she said.
The ceasefire will allow Hamas to regroup and replenish supplies before resuming its original mission of wiping Israel off the map.
Until recently, ceasefire artists often avoided mentioning Hamas when calling for a Gaza ceasefire, but after being criticized by numerous media outlets, including Breitbart News, the group acknowledged in a call to action this week that Hamas massacred 1,200 Israelis on October 7.
The group has enlisted some of Hollywood's biggest stars to help with its efforts, including Cate Blanchett, Channing Tatum, Kristen Stewart and pop star Billie Eilish.
