Another lesson in ’things you’re not allowed to talk about’...---Penelope Cruz and Javier Bardem face ’fury’ of Hollywood following ’genocide’ letter condemning IsraelBy Loulla-Mae Eleftheriou-Smith | IndependentActors reportedly could face losing work over public stance on the conflictPenelope Cruz and Javier Bardem are reportedly facing a serious backlash from top Hollywood executives following their support for Gaza, which saw the couple sign an open letter condemning the actions of Israel as tantamount to "genocide".The couple were among 100 film professionals to sign the open Spanish letter calling on the European Union to end Israel’s military operation in Gaza, along with director Pedro Almodovar in July.But their actions have sparked anger in top Hollywood executives, which has reportedly called their careers in to question.
