- Protesters have disrupted traffic around both the Grammys and the Oscars, while artists at these award shows have made calls for a ceasefire in Gaza. At the Berlinale film festival, multiple artists spoke out explicitly against Israel, calling out the killings of Palestinians in the occupied territory. More than 80 acts and speakers dropped out of the South by Southwest festival, citing the involvement of several weapons companies and agencies tied to the United States Department of Defense. These protests often come despite the heavy influence of pro-Israeli organisations. But are artists and celebrities doing enough with their platforms to stop the war on Gaza?
Presenter: Myriam Francois
Guests:
Rolla Selbak - Palestinian American filmmaker
Yara Azzam - Palestinian American content creator

I am just a regular small business contractor, who will not sign a pledge of allegiance to Israel, therefore cannot get government contracts in Texas. I have forfeited my income, but maintain my integrity and my soul.
Bless your business, family and soul.
Money is really important, but humanity is the most important thing.
✊✊✊❤️🙏🏽🇵🇸

You are either standing up for Palestinians or you are not. I stand with Palestine and I don't need celebrities to influence me in this. I have a well-developed sense of right and wrong, and I know that what Israel is doing is beyond wrong.
Well said, I agree.
Very true
The world might be upside down and back to front but we have a moral compass and we know where to stand.
you mean Gazans? There is no Palestine
IDK dude (If you're a dude). The IDF propaganda looks really nice. They've a whole YT channel spreading their propaganda. They've got beautiful women making the simps support IDF. USA is too scared of Israel to tell them to stop. But....
What a nice *DEMOCRACY* we're having, aren't we? People control the Government, no?
We humans stand with palastine ❤❤❤❤
where is it?
You stand with terrorists.
They can't find it on a map.
@clivebaxter6354 Get yourself a pair of prescription glasses. Or let me fix them for you 😉
God is with Palestine 💖....GOD in the Bible will take His Kingdom from the Je*s and give it to another Nation:
1️⃣ Prayer towards Jerusalem will be no more (Psalm 138:2, John 4:21, Matthew 21:43, Isaiah 35, Isaiah 60, Genesis 25:12-13). Change of Qibla to Mecca.
2️⃣The new future Covenant will be different from one given to Moses (Jeremiah 31:31-34).
1- Jesus' path-to-Islam in Matthew 21:33-46:
From these verses, it's evident that the final Prophet in Jeremiah 31:31-34, John 1:19-21 and John 7:40-44 will bring a new covenant different from the one given to Moses ("It will not be like the covenant I made with their ancestors"), and he will be a gentile. Only Islam's Covenant and Prophet fulfilled this. Also, Jesus said in Matthew 21:33-46,
1- The Je*s Killed GOD's servants that He sent them, the Prophets.
2- The Je*s will try to kill the Messiah, Jesus.
3- After the Messiah fails, GOD Almighty will send a new Ethnic group, who will be different from the Je*s that will carry His Burden. They will also be non-Je*ish and are Gentiles.
In the New Testament:
Matthew 21:43 “Therefore I tell you that the kingdom of God will be taken away from you and given to a people (ethnei ἔθνει) who will produce its fruit.
Jesus also said the direction of the Prayer towards Jerusalem will be no more (Psalm 138:2, John 4:21, Matthew 21:43, Isaiah 35, Isaiah 60, Genesis 25:12-13). It will be replaced with Mecca and the Holy Path to Mecca:
Holy Path to Mecca:
Paran of the Bible was Mecca at least 300 years before Islam:
We also have a Prophecy about praying in the direction of the Holy Temple (Mecca) in the OT. Chri*tianity is a false reli*ion that invalidated prostrating to Allah Almighty. They do not prostrate to GOD Almighty at all, and certainly not towards any specific direction. Only Islam restored the Original Faith:
Psalm 138:2
I will bow down toward your holy temple and will praise your name for your love and your faithfulness, for you have exalted above all things your name and your word.
Isaiah 42:10-13 (listed in details below) GOD will sing a New Song from Arabia via the gentile Prophet who will come from the Je*s' "brothers" (Deuteronomy 18:18). Also in Jeremiah 31:31-34, it will be a new Covenant different from the one that was given to Moses. . The Ishmaelites are the brothers of the Israelites. Also, only Islam fulfilled Deuteronomy's army of 10,000 Believers (Deuteronomy 33:2). The New Testament also renews this Prophecy and claims it is yet to be fulfilled in the future. Also, Ishmael's Covenant was left for the "later generations".@@clivebaxter6354
Well done Al Jazeera English on choosing Myriam Francois. She's a fierce fighter herself on Palestinian rights and on Palestine.
God bless every celebrity who truly stands with the Palestinians!

That is not their job

Students at Columbia are being suspended and they are staying and protesting!! Pressure! Celebrities have so much more than a student with debt and not yet being finished their degree. Come on, have a little fortitude and bravery. People are dying in the worst ways. 🇵🇸🕊️
Absolutely!! Silence is not neutral! It is violent and aggressive.
Salam Aleikun Myrian, thank you from Brazil for your love, peace and justice devoted to Palestine!
Stop relying on celebrities. They don't need to do everything. People need to lead.
People are leading and they are following and people follow their ‘idols’!
Bingo.
With a few notable exceptions, such as Roger Waters, the music industry has been conspicuously silent on Gaza. I wonder why.
Imagine if Sinead O'Connor was still alive. She'd be speaking up loudly and creating headlines. She's missed.
St Levant and LowKey are artists for Palestine too
Annie Lennox wasn’t
Little hat people…
Macklemore
Hollyweird is dead to me. Shame on them but kudos to those rare few with the bravery to speak out.
Myriam Francois can read a phone book and she will still sounds good.
None but thoughtless will say that the childrens are terrorists.
nobody thinks that. However, the terrorists hiding behind the children, are in fact, terrorists.
I wonder who owns the entire entertainment media industry? 🤔
Not too hard to guess 😂
Isn’t it the Jhues
Jews have been outspoken critics of what is happening in Gaza. I’m Jewish and I condemn this genocide. You are perpetuating this endless cycle of dehumanization and violence by saying these antisemitic things and further legitimizing the actions of extremists who say that they are just ‘defending themselves.’
@@phoebekatz7506 asking questions is antisemitism?
You have a swastika as your profile picture.
We humans eyes open will never be closed we humans stand with palastine ❤❤❤❤❤
Yes yes yes .we humans stand against hamas's oppression of gazans. 🇿🇦❤️🇳🇮
@@user-yp9ls1vs7l So, who caused the Nakba and many other massacres of the Palestinian people before the existence of HAMAS? Tarantula massacre? It's literally on YT!
Brainwashed spam troll.
Why not mention the genocide that other Muslim countries have inflicted on Palestinian people. When Israel protects herself from murderous hamas thugs and retaliates then you claim genocide. if all the thousands upon thousand of Muslim you tubers that comment about the poor Palestinians adopted a Palestinian family then things would be great. Ooh wait. Islamists countries actually hate the Palestinians and don't want them 🇿🇦❤️🇳🇮
Moat of them know the truth
The World is divided and there will Never be Peace, without the Freedom of Palestine 🇵🇸
We humans are all palastine ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Palestine will be free... Free from Hamas and palestinians. From the River to the Sea Israel is all that will be. 🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱🇮🇱 Mauslemz lost the war. Right now gazans are running, crying and praying to their pdf-file prophet and his 6yo wife. Will he save them? Nope. Justice for Aisha. Without lies, islam dies.
Subhuman.

@@ThatApeBigMad488 Cool support for the antichrist bro.

And palestinians.
We are so progressive
@@iosebchikvashvili1864Umm... some conservative people also support them. And some 'IiberaIs' don't. Ofc the majority of supporters are leftists, but, really it just comes down to whether you support lmperiaIism and gnoclde or whether you're against it.
God bless the Palestinians women and children 🙏
God bless the Palestinians men too!
Susan Sarandon made it greatly
I am so glad that Myriam who is a rolemodel for many is working with al Jazeera
Thank you humans ❤❤❤❤❤
I think it's unwise to expect Hollywood actors to be the one to advocate for change. They do what's safe for their careers most of the time.
"i promise you" ...we see you for what you are. call it what you want
And we honestly won’t forget

Actors are overpaid liers ..thats their skill... you cant expect any more from a group of actors than you would from a random group of any profession..... a percentage of them gonna be dumb and another percetage of them gonna be greedy ..another scared and another uncaring and selfish ...and some will be good to the bone!
Very well said
But... they've a huge following! And what they say will convince a lot of people from their following even if those people were not interested in this subject.
Myriam Francois Respect and Thank you. And Thanks to your guests aswell.
Free Free Palestine
From the River to the Sea

People just need to stand on the right side of humanity!
🇯🇵🇯🇵🇯🇵 We Japanese stand with you Palestine❤ FREE FREE 🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸🇵🇸👏👏
I love her research. She is rolemodel for journalists around the globe!
To be silent is to be complicit. This goes for anyone.
Thank you to all who try to bring peace to the world.
Myriam Francois a true god of sound and stone.
Saoirse don Phalaistin 🕊️
Yes, completely and wholeheartedly agree on the Black community's support for Palestine. We see it here in South Africa, not just recently but for the last 30 years. Thank you for this
Very inspiring voices. Great questions by Ms Francois. Thank you! Greeks stand with Palestine.
Macklemore 🫡 Respect!
If they drop you then we the consumers have already blocked them from our side! Join the BDS movement and let’s make a difference!
I love this format where it's not one side vs the other. I thought all the ladies had something unique and worthwhile to contribute and the interviewer clearly knew the subject well.
I love this. This is raw and honest journalism! I love how you invited this generation woman on this stream and have the view of real people living in this world and not puppets with scriptures
Great program, Dr. Myriam Francois is a superb addition.
Just so crazy how ready the celebs were to speak on Ukraine 🤔🤔🤔
Finally myriam is host of Aljazeera.
You deserved iron lady.
Does it really matter what celebrities are doing?
anyone who looks to celebrities for their opinions is a lost cause to begin with. we shouldnt be trying to sway them
Celebrities have been terrorized by the system. Why do they embark on cancellation and loss of big incomes? They support as much as a show.
I love that they put together a diverse all-women's panel to discuss this important topic. Freedom for the land and people of Palestine from the River to the Sea 🇵🇸
Indeed,the best among the people is he who calls people towards peace among the humanity and work for the humanitarian services with sincerity and devotions.
You can hear a peanut rattling inside Michael Rapaport's head as he speaks.
Boycott all those hypocrites. Don't watch hEllywood, disney etc. Boycott products!
Who's Elly?
The title of this interview should be:
"Radio-Silence is loud in Hollywood. Is it fear or indifference?"
People all over the world are speaking up, have been speaking up, and nothing is changing. It's just getting worse. Drop the peace and take an aggressive stance if you want change. Voices, cardboard, and pins won't change anything. It's just cookies and milk.
Much respect sis ❤
"Silence Is Violence." ~ Yara
The real heroes are those who are out there making difference in the world not the ones who act in movies acting like heroes and scared to speak up because they can loose their positions. These celebrities were silence and didn’t say anything to defend human beings dieying
I do not care what celebrities think politically. Some are just bandwagon riders and not that bright.
Rappaport's no George Carlin, that's for sure.
the idea of idols is dying
May Allah SWT bless and protect Palestinians and all those who support freedom and justice for oppressed Palestinians, Ameen🤲🏻
P.S. No need to be human to support Palestine, you just need to be a human🤷🏻♀️
Myriammm♡ nice to see you here. Your voice is valuable!
I’d really like to know where George & Amal Clooney are! They are unusually silent for such “humanitarian” people who started the “Clooney Foundation for justice”!! I want to hear that Amal has been on the negotiation team in Qatar working as a mediator between Israel, Hamas, Iran, etc!
Yep lol 😅
What will celebrities do? Throw makeup at them?
That's just as effective as voting once every four years
Susan Sarandon and the likes are the real superheroes of H0llyw00d
They can turn the tide of public opinion. Right now, America is wall-to-wall Israeli support. The public need to see high profile figures expressing their support for Gaza.
It has to be appreciated that it is dangerous to have any opinion once the whole world is looking at your every move. This has to be considered.
Thank you wonderful ladies for bring this most important issue to light God loves you
I've been venting since oct 7th,eventhough i"ev been a staunch 🇵🇸supporter like forever 🤷♀️
Sending peace love to the world 🌎 ❤🐘
Thank you Myriam ❤️

Bravo et longue vie à toi Myriam pour l'excellent travail que tu fais je regarde toutes tes vidéo

Mr Didi Hallervorden
Thank you very much for your short video

No they rather stay comfortable..
Thank you for always being an alternative voice
Great conversation
Lowkey is a paragon of performance with integrity! The fact that the public (whom stars cannot shine in the absence of) is willing to risk all ought to be a clue. Those with much less are aware of backlash and willing to be arrested, loose the thread of security they cling precariously to. If those in privileged position, (created by fans) are not able to find their own moral compass then they are truly lost and the following was not genuine but a construct of illusions which are meant to crumble. No foundation. So what have we all been so enamored with? Why have we placed morality in the hands of anyone but ourselves? Holly wood is full of humans... nothing more and nothing less. How about a living wage for all and we quit deifying actors and singers? The voice of privilege is no more powerful, perhaps less impactful than the voice of the oppressed. Looking forward to your interview with the above mentioned voice of power for peace ✌️🇺🇸
Great program and thank you Mariam for your professional show
Myriam Francois is killing it
Love this woman
It is better that 'celebrity culture' as a whole be abandoned than to be sitting here waiting for them to do and say the right things. They're irrelevant - their opinions are irrelevant - they are, by and large, professional narcissists and nothing more.
The opinions, the convictions, and the gifts given to the world by nurses, sanitation workers, service industry workers, janitors, and on and on, are infinitely more important than those of 'celebrities'.
You cannot 'change the system from within the system' - it all needs to go.
"Art is the truth everything else is a lie", George Condo
This is the role of the silent majority: Allport's scale of genocide. He was a Jewish psychologist in the 1950s who studied the Holocaust genocide occurs like this 1. anti-locution 2. avoidance second step including dehumanization 3. discrimination unfair treatment 4. physical attack which is what the mainstream doing now final step 5. elimination annihilation genocide. Press and western leadership rhetoric is part of the genocide. Society is made up of withdrawers, acquiescers or resistors. Press and certain leaders are championing genocide. The best thing we can do is work with the withdrawers to resist then we become more powerful and it's less likely that genocide can take place in the long term. So the real life examples in Palestine are the dehumanization, apartheid, the wall, children being imprisoned unjustly, bulldozing people's homes, olive groves, illegally building settlements, taking over people's homes and throwing them out and the violence in Gaza, destroying infrastructure, hospitals, universities, birth certificates historical proof of Palestinian heritage, sniper attacks, mass murder. In summary antilocution, avoidance, discrimination, physical attack, removal, annihilation = genocide

*With respect did we have the conversation when celebrities were complaining about Russian in Ukraine ? What's so special that you can't say you are against a government that is potentially committing a genocide?*
No one listens to Hollywood stars lol.
Great report!
None Dare Call It Genocide
Nice to hear from these ladies!
