The antisemitic actor called for the dismissal of the Jewish singer – and got slammed: "Bully"

Spanish actor Javier Bardem, known for anti-Israel positions, shared a petition calling for the dismissal of Jewish-American singer Pink from her role as a UNICEF ambassador, due to her support for Israel. The move sparked angry reactions online, including from pro-Israeli actor Michael Rapaport, who called him a "bully" and a "snitch."

Spanish actor Javier Bardem, known for his staunch anti-Israel positions, shared a petition earlier this week calling for the dismissal of Jewish-American singer Pink from her role as a UNICEF ambassador. In a story posted on his Instagram account, he called on his over 1.5 million followers to support the initiative. This comes against the backdrop of Pink's solidarity with Israel following the controversy stirred by antisemitic rapper Macklemore during Ed Sheeran's concert tour – which ultimately led to his official removal. The move sparked angry reactions online. Pro-Israeli film actor Michael Rapaport harshly attacked Bardem, calling him a "snitch" and accusing him of "bullying a Jewish woman." Jewish-American actress Selma Blair joined the criticism, wondering why anyone would want to remove Pink for "human, humble, and loving words." Netizens were also outraged. The article quotes Pink's response, in which she clarified that she was born Jewish, that Hamas is a terrorist organization, and that she does not intend to conduct a political debate on Instagram.
