Javier Bardem sparks backlash with anti-Israel rant on The View as he is cut off after claiming he’s suffering

Actor was cut off on The View after suggesting he ‘suffers on a daily basis’ for the people of Gaza and said Israel was committing ‘genocide.’ 

The Oscar-winner was speaking to conservative panelists Alyssa Farah Griffin and Sara Haines, who wear yellow pins everyday to support Israeli hostages being held in Gaza.

‘I see your [pins] and, of course, they have to return those hostages obviously,’ Bardem said.

‘But the situation in Gaza has come to a term now where I cannot express the pain that I, along with many millions of people there, suffer on a daily basis watching those horrible images of children being murdered and starving to death.’

The actor stated his case for Israel committing ‘genocide’ based on his belief that international law and human rights experts and even Holocaust survivors agree with him.

‘First of all, because the impunity that is taking Israel in doing these actions, and the lack of action on any government of course the back up of the United States with all those weapons and the economics, and also the silence of Europe, is creating a scenario where there is such impunity that if we really don’t do something about that we are going towards, well, what is happening now,’ he said.

Host Whoopi Goldberg clearly wanted to get to a commercial break but Bardem tried to continue.

‘And also, with this I will finish, the most important thing is to not lose the humanity and really denounce when we have to denounce and who we have to denounce,’ he said.

Abruptly, the show cut back to Goldberg, who said: ‘Javier, come back.’

The long-running ABC chatfest then went straight to commercial to a somewhat muted applause.

A source at the show told Decider that they were simply running out of time and needed to head to break.

However, several viewers were alarmed by Bardem’s statements.

‘Again, The View becomes a hot bed for political hatred and antisemitism,’ wrote Nicholas Fondacaro of MRC and Newsbusters.

‘Actor Javier Bardem claims he’s suffering as much as the people in Gaza as he parrots Hamas propaganda.’

Another social media user reminded people that ‘ABC considers this part of their news product.’

‘English is Javier Bardem’s second language, stupid is his first,’ added another on X.

Leftist YouTube channel The Serfs spoke in favor of Bardem’s comments and mocked the liberal ABC show for cutting away.

‘Javier Bardem went so hard on the genocide of Palestinians that the View had to cut to commercial break.’

None of the reaction nor the cut to break stopped Bardem from making similar statements at the premiere of his new movie, F1, later that night.

‘Thousands of children are dying… It’s a genocide happening before our eyes. The American support has to stop.’

Many on the far left and even mainstream Democrats have accused the Israelis of genocide in their response to the October 7, 2023 Hamas terror attack on an Israeli music festival.

Significant protesting has come from American college campuses, who have received smackdowns from the Trump administration for refusing to protect Jewish students and fostering antisemitism.
