Pars Today – The Game of Thrones actor criticized Hollywood's silence in the face of the massacre in Gaza.

The Irish actor from the series Game of Thrones criticized the silence of celebrities in the face of Israeli attacks on Gaza, emphasizing that contrary to popular belief, he has not faced any threats following his protests.

According to Pars Today, quoting IRNA, Liam Cunningham, the well-known Irish actor who played Davos Seaworth in Game of Thrones, voiced criticism in an interview over Hollywood's inaction and silence regarding the killing of civilians in Gaza.

Cunningham, referring to what he described as “the most horrific event of our lifetime,” said: “I haven’t lost hope in humanity, but the level of cowardice shown by some public figures is truly disappointing.”

He added: “If one day your child asks you what you did during these events — events that were clearly unfolding on screens and across social media — and your answer is ‘I didn’t care,’ what will you say?”

Emphasizing the moral responsibility of artists in the face of human tragedies, he said: “I don’t want to look into my grandchildren’s eyes one day and say I did nothing — because doing something is the only option. When you’re aware and still choose not to act, it means you simply didn’t care.”

In conclusion, Cunningham said the silence of public figures was beyond his understanding: “I don’t know how they can look at themselves in the mirror without speaking out or protesting.”
