These are morally indefensible war crimes, the actor claims.
New York-based Human Rights Watch has cited both Hamas and the Israeli government as culpable of potential war crimes.

But in my heart, I know there is only one the side of our humanity.
What happened in Israel last week was horrific and wrong.
The pain and fear so many are feeling is deep and real.

The depth and reality of this suffering cannot be ignored.
If we look only in one direction, we will go even deeper into darkness.
But that is exactly what is happening right now.
These are morally indefensible war crimes.
If like me you have been grappling to find the right words, there are none.
No words can encompass the pain, heal the rifts or do justice to all these injustices.
Whatever you say will be too much for some and not enough for others.
But what matters it that we speak up.
Staying silent is not an option.
