The fate of the 240 hostages that Hamas has held hostage in Gaza since October 7 was debated this Tuesday in an extraordinary meeting of the Government of Israel, which accepted an agreement with Hamas for the release of 50 kidnapped in the Gaza Strip as of October Thursday, November 22, in exchange for the release of Palestinian prisoners and a truce.
A situation that keeps the world in suspense, and for which more and more famous people seem to be showing their opinions publicly. Now, for them it has a price. If not, tell the Mexican actress Melissa Barrera, who has been abruptly fired as the protagonist of the Scream saga by the production company Spyglass for her apparently anti-Semitic comments on social networks.
The production company has decided to dispense with the services of the actress, who plays Sam Carpenter in the sequels of the legendary saga, due to the interpreter's publications on her social networks, where she shows her support for the Palestinian people and referred to Israel as a "colonized" land, raising the anti-Semitic cliché that Jews "control" the media.
"Gaza is being treated like a concentration camp," he wrote in a post on his Instagram Stories a few days ago. "Cornering us all together, with nowhere to go, without electricity or water... People have learned nothing from our stories. And just like our stories, people continue to silently watch it all happen. This is genocide and ethnic cleansing. The media only shows the Israeli side. Why do they do that? ", the actress asked herself, in one of her comments.
The production company has not commented on the situation, beyond confirming that its publications were seen as anti-Semitic. "We have zero tolerance for anti-Semitism or hate speech," they declared through a spokesperson, explaining that they were referring to hate "in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, distortion of the Holocaust or anything." that flagrantly crosses the line of hate speech."
The actress thus leaves the successful saga, which since 2022 has successfully relaunched the teenage horror genre, raising hundreds of millions of dollars around the world. The next installment, Scream VII, will be directed by Christopher Landon, who will have to take a new direction in the saga now that Barrera, the protagonist, is out.
