“If you think you are on the right side of defending what happened yesterday, you are either deeply uninformed or don’t believe in human rights,” she added. “Hamas does not believe in a Palestinian state. They want to destroy the state of Israel and the Jewish people. They want to destroy all western cultures. Israel is the only democratic state in the Middle East.”
Foster continued: “The only place you can be openly gay is a place where women are independent.” Supporting Hamas does not mean supporting innocent civilians, of which there are many. It supports a jihadist terrorist group that celebrates murders in the streets, and it doesn’t believe in human rights of any kind. Even yours. What does it look like to you that Palestine “wins”? Freedom for Palestinians? That doesn’t EXIST when your government is made up of terrorists who don’t believe in freedom.”
“The Vampire Diaries” actress Nina Dobrev shared a supportive “Pray for Israel” post on Instagram, while “New Girl” star Max Greenfield wrote about the “unimaginable scene in Israel right now.”

He added: “As a Jew, I am with you. As a human being, I am with you.”
