Jennifer Lawrence Says What’s Happening in Palestine Is ‘No Less Than a Genocide and It’s Unacceptable’: ‘I’m Terrified for All of Our Children’

Jennifer Lawrence spoke up for Palestine at a San Sebastian Film Festival press conference on Friday, saying that “what’s happening is no less than a genocide.”

The Oscar winner, who is on hand at the festival to screen her new film “Die My Love” and receive the prestigious Donostia Award, was asked several times to comment on the war in Gaza during the presser. Though festival moderates attempted to stop the questions, Lawrence eloquently gave her opinion on the matter toward the end of the conference.

“I’m terrified and it’s mortifying. What’s happening is no less than a genocide and it’s unacceptable,” she said when asked about Palestine. “I’m terrified for my children, for all of our children.”

She then spoke about American politics, saying that it makes her “so sad” that the current “disrespect and discourse” is going to be normal to children today.
