Calls The Massacre In Gaza Not Performed By Jews, Tom Morello: There Is No Room For Anti-Semitism
JAKARTA - Tom Morello, guitarist for the rap metal band, Rage Against the Machine and former Audioslave member, said there was no room for Anti-Semitism when criticizing Gaza's "terrible war crimes".
Through its official X/Twitter page, Morello talks about the current Israeli-Hamas war. "It's important to remember that the horrific war crimes in Gaza were not committed by Jews but by the cruel right-wing Israeli government," he wrote on Twitter on November 13.
Many brave Jews in Israel and abroad condemned the massacre. Our struggle is against oppression. There is no room for antisemitism," he continued.
This is not the first time the musician has spoken about the current conflict. Last month, Morello called for criticism of actions that harm all children no matter who they are after Jamie Lee Curtis deleted a photo of Palestinians.
The actress was recently criticized after sharing photos from Gaza in posts supporting Israel and then removing them.
Curtis via Instagram showed her support for Israel and posted a photo of a child running where a boy was carrying a little girl.
The post's title reads Terror in the Sky with an additional Israeli flag emoji.
The image was actually taken by Gaza-based photojournalist Samar Abu Elouf who shared the post over the weekend with a description: Palestinian families and their children fled the northern Gaza Strip to UNRWA schools in Gaza City, children were afraid of the sound of bombings that heard them during their presence due to events on the Gaza Strip border.

Journalist Muhammad Shehada then posted the photo on his X/Twitter account with the caption: "Cognitive Dissonance: Jamie Lee Curtis was deeply moved by this photo only when he thought they were Israelis. Once he found out they were Gazans, he lost all feelings for them and deleted the photo. Suddenly, terror from the sky is acceptable to him and the people he likes!
Morello reposted the journalist's tweet and said: 'I want to make a radical proposal that children's hurt actions, no matter who they are & whoever did it, are always wrong and must be condemned.'
Guitarist The Rage Against The Machine continues in another tweet that reads: Likewise, WAR CRIMES committed by anyone, any organization, or any government (you, me, friends or enemies) must be condemned and responsible parties must be held accountable
