Zeteo: John Cusack Calls Gaza Crisis ‘Genocide in Real Time’ – Urges Global Action
May 19, 2025
A letter written by American Actor, John Cusack, on the ongoing genocide in Gaza!
__________
“To Whom It May Still Concern,
There is a genocide unfolding before our eyes in Gaza. Not a metaphor, not a tragedy in the abstract—a genocide. Carried out in real time, in front of satellites, smartphones, and sanitized press conferences. And what has the so-called “land of the free” done? Applauded. Armed. Rationalized. Looked away.
The blood in Gaza does not just stain the hands of those launching the missiles. It stains every hand that signs off on the bombs, every hand that wrings itself in liberal anguish but does nothing, and every hand that beats its chest in right-wing bloodlust cheering it all on.
The American far right sees in this mass killing a projection of its own fantasies—walls, camps, and the unrelenting dehumanization of the “other.” No surprise there. And where are the liberals? Their silence is violence. Their hollow “both sides” rhetoric is complicity with power. And mass murder. And the machine of empire—greased with our taxes, shielded by our media, and excused by our moral debauchery .
How’s everybody at the Met gala doing tonight ?
If you claim to care about justice—if you ever marched, ever lit a candle for any cause—then your voice should be raised now. Or it means nothing. The children of Gaza do not need your sorrow. They need your outrage. Your pressure. Your courage.
End the siege. End the weapons shipments. End the lies. Call this what it is: a genocide.
And if your politics cannot confront that—then your politics are worthless.
In furious solidarity,””
John Cusack, American film actor
