Actor Amy Jackson, who appeared in Akshay Kumar’s Singh Is Bliing, voiced support for the people of Palestine amid Israel’s assault on Rafha in Gaza.
“Living our privileged lives while innocent people endure genocide is a stark contrast. As a mother, the pain and suffering of the 600,000 terrified, mostly orphaned children in Rafha is unimaginable, she wrote on Instagram.
Jackson slammed the film festivals and media outlets for allegedly silencing “outcry against genocide highlight the injustice in our world today.”
She demanded immediate ceasefire in the besieged strip while urging all to keep speaking about the plight of the people of Gaza.
“Do not stay silent. Do not let our governments distract from the torture the Palestinian people face. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for the murder of innocent men, women, and children,” Amy Jackson added.
