Hollywood Stars Force NYT to Highlight Israeli Killing of Shireen Abu Akleh

Hollywood stars, like Mark Ruffalo, Liam Cunningham, Susan Sarandon, and Bella Hadid, condemned the Israeli killing of Palestinian Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh.

Cunningham took it to Instagram and posted a screenshot of news from the New York Times (NYT), entitled "Shireen Abu Akleh, Trailblazing Palesitanin Journalist, Dies at 51".

He edited the news, affirming that Abu Akleh was assassinated by an Israeli sniper while wearing a press vest and covering the brutality and violence of the Israeli army. 

The "Games of Thrones" actor has been retweeting multiple news and comments that denounce the Israeli attack on the Palestinian people.

In response, New York Times changed the news title to "Al Jazeera Journalist Is Killed in West Bank".

Another Hollywood star, Sarandon, shared her views on the savage action and shared a video where Israeli forces are crashing into the journalist's funeral and beating mourners; "The “throwing rocks” defense again."

"By the logic I’ve been seeing on my timeline, anyone who denounces this violence apparently hates Israel and is an anti-semite. Shameful," the actress wrote.

In the same vein, Hadid also slammed the Israeli attack on Instagram, highlighting the torture and abuse of the Israeli occupation.

The supermodel wrote: "Not only to watch a veteran like Shireen be disrespected and thrown around like this, on her way from the hospital to the church, for the last time to Rest in Peace. But also to watch our mourning elderly and people be slammed around, pushed down, scared for their lives! I lay here feeling helpless and there are people really sitting behind their computer screens trying to validate this! Make excuses for it even!"
