Many international celebrities have used their social media platform to show support for Israel and denounce Hamas’s catastrophic terrorist attack that left at least 1,000 people dead.
It all started this week on October 7, when Hamas stormed a music festival with gunfire, and launched rockets into Israel.
From Gal Gadot to Natalie Portman, here is a list of Hollywood celebrities who voiced their support for Israel:
Natalie Portman
Natalie Portman shared that her heart is “shattered” for the people of Israel. “Children, women and the elderly have been murdered and abducted from their own homes,” the “Black Swan” actress, who was born in Israel, wrote in a statement on Instagram.

“I’m heartbroken, angry, and sickened by the brutal murders and kidnapping of Jewish people through the horrific acts of the Hamas terrorist group,” Johnson wrote. “The growing loss of innocent Israeli and Palestinian lives is heart wrenching as this war escalates to immense proportions.”

Amy Schumer attended a pro-Israel rally in New York City to show her support. She also used social media to share facts, news updates, videos, and messages about the attack.
“As we all know, this is the deadliest event that has happened to the Jewish people since the holocaust,” she wrote in a statement via her Instagram Story. “To my non-Jewish friends, call your Jewish friends.”
“Chances are, they are the direct descendants of holocaust survivors. They are scared, they are hurting and they are terrified by your silence,” the comedian concluded.
Kylie Jenner
Kylie Jenner shared a message of support for Israel — though she deleted her post an hour later.
The “Kardashians” star initially re-posted a message from the pro-Israel account @StandWithUs via her Instagram Story that read, “Now and always we stand with the people of Israel!” over a photo of the Israeli flag.
The post was captioned, “SHARE if you stand with the people of Israel as they face one of the most frightening situations in many years.”
Jenner deleted the message shortly after receiving a barrage of free Palestine messages in the comments section of her Instagram.
