Home of Hollywood actor who wanted Gaza destroyed is burnt in LA fires

Hollywood actor James Woods, a vocal supporter of Israel's genocide in Gaza, recently appeared on an American TV show to talk about losing his home in Los Angeles fires.

 The actor, who once tweeted "#KillThemAll" about Gaza, was seen crying on air, talking about the destruction he had to witness as fires ravaged Los Angeles. Netizens were quick to spring to action, reminding him of his hate-spewing against Palestinians facing a genocide at the hands of Israeli forces since the past 15 months.

Woods had always been vocal about his support for Israelis. He cheered Israel's deadly attacks on Palestinians in Gaza.

"Bomb the savages who did this back to the Stone Age. There are no grey areas. Kill them all," he wrote in an X post in October 2023, the day Hamas attacked Israel. 

In another post, Woods had demanded "no ceasefire, no compromise, no forgiveness. #KillThemAll".

He broke down in tears during the interview on Wednesday, talking about losing his mansion in the wildfires that swept through Hollywood in LA.

"One day, you’re in the swimming pool, and the next day it’s gone," he said while sobbing.

The clip from the interview went viral, prompting pro-Palestine voices to remind the Hollywood actor James Woods of his support for Israel's war on Gaza.

Palestinian poet Mosab Abu Toha lambasted Woods by saying: "How dare you get on the air and cry?!".

The award-winning poet even shared a screenshot of the Twitter interaction with James Wood, where he had addressed Toha using abusive language and called him “Hamas-loving scum.”

Toha posted a series of four pictures, including Wood and the others of Palestinians sitting on the rubble of their home while the actor sits in a furnished room, but all of them bawling their eyes out. He captioned them as “A letter to James Wood.”

Another user shared the clips of Woods and his statements and posted, “Karma works in mysterious ways.”

A netizen by the name of Syeda posted, “I don't know if I should feel happy seeing someone like this in their dreadful times, but I am definitely not sad for a wretched soul like his.”

Additionally, some other social media users highlighted the irony for Woods, who is a climate-change sceptic and has lost his house to extreme weather.
