Oscar-winning actor Javier Bardem told Mehdi Hasan on Zeteo that the world is increasingly rallying behind Palestine as Israel's genocidal actions in Gaza have become impossible to ignore.
Bardem argued that the growing worldwide support for Palestine is a direct response to the atrocities witnessed in Gaza and the West Bank, saying that "anybody with minimal common sense understands that that is wrong."
Discussing the political backdrop to the Spain–Argentina World Cup final, he also criticised Argentine President Javier Milei for openly aligning himself with Benjamin Netanyahu and far-right Israeli leaders, saying it was unfair to present Argentina as represented by those figures.
Bardem stressed that Netanyahu, Ben-Gvir, and the Israeli cabinet do not represent Jewish people and warned against antisemitism, while insisting that criticism of the Israeli government is both legitimate and necessary.
The actor said younger generations are driving a historic shift in public opinion because they are witnessing Israel's actions in real time and are increasingly demanding accountability, justice, and an end to the impunity enjoyed by Israel's leadership on the world stage.
No, THANK YOU! Truly a honor to wear the 💜💛 while trying to continuing the greatness & legacies that came before me! Hope I made a few proud during my stint. 🙏🏾🫡👑
.@DeepNotShallow tells Hasan the details about what happened and why multiple venues were cancelled. This shit is absolutely insane and it is so blatantly obvious what happened here. Insane shit. You can't silence the voices of the people.
Hasan Piker on what it would take for him to vote for Gavin Newsom in 2028
"If he turned around and said, 'I'm gonna actually punish the Republicans that engaged in corruption', if he changed his policies on homelessness, if he hadn't vetoed Medicare for All in his state.
All of it reduces to 'I will vote Blue no matter Who.' Great, let's get your commitment to voting for whoever the leftmost candidate is then."
Mark Ruffalo has told Kevin O’Leary to “STFU” after O’Leary went after Billie Eilish for her recent comments at the Grammys
Why don’t you STFU… It’s hilarious, you will go on any show and talk shit about any number of things and smugly expect us to listen to you, but you will dig into a real artist that dwarfs anything you dream of doing for actually saying something that resonates with 100’s of millions of people the world over.
It’s astounding the fantasy double standard Kevin O’Leary lives in. You played yourself well in ‘Marty Supreme’”
🚨 Bernie Sanders just unloaded on both parties:
It would be a horrific mistake to cave to Trump right now.
If Democrats vote for this deal, they’re giving him a green light to march straight toward authoritarianism.
"Well guys, you're gonna have to learn his f*cking name now."
I went on a rant at the Zohran Mamdani event last night, against billionaires who spent millions to try and stop a guy whose name they refuse to correctly pronounce.

Stellan Skarsgård on his worldviews
"My father told me something when I was very small to instill confidence in me: 'Nobody in the world is worth more than you, but nobody’s worth less.' It is an egalitarian view that I’ve carried around in my life. That’s why I am for free schools, free universities, free health care, and free babysitting. Because our society could afford it"
"In America, people think social democracy is some kind of communism. They think capitalism is freedom. It’s not. It’s only freedom to exploit people"
