Actor Javier Bardem has accused President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of pushing “toxic male behavior” for their actions in Gaza and Iran.
While promoting his new film, “The Beloved,” at the Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, Bardem described the dangers of toxic masculinity and how leaders like Trump have demonstrated it by trying to “bomb —” in other countries.
“There is an average of two women killed every month by their elders or ex-boyfriends or ex-husbands,” said Bardem. “What’s so bad, so many women are being killed. It’s unbelievable, and we just got used to it. I mean we’ve died — peanuts? We’re killing women because other men think they own them?”

He continued, “And that problem goes to Mr. Trump and Mr. Putin and Mr. Netanyahu, those big-ball men who say, ‘My s— is bigger than yours, and I’m going to s— without you.’ Toxic f—ing behavior in men…so yes, we have to talk about it. And we talk about it because we know too much, thank you. “
Bardem, who has been an outspoken anti-Israel critic, reiterated the importance of celebrities calling the Jewish nation “genocide” despite fearing blacklisting.
“Everyone is starting to see – thanks to a new generation that is more aware of the situations we face directly on our phones and other screens – it’s unacceptable,” said Bardem.

“It will not be forgiven. And there will be no reason, no explanation for this killing,” he continued. “Therefore, I think that what is happening is the opposite. I believe that those who draw the so-called blacklists will actually be exposed, and they are the ones who suffer from the so-called consequences, at least at the social and social level. And this is a big change.”
Bardem added, “You can fight it, you can try to justify it, explain it. That’s the truth. You can oppose it, or you can justify it… If you condone it with your silence or your support, you’re supporting genocide. Those are facts, to me.”
Fox News Digital has reached out to representatives for Bardem and the White House for comment.
Bardem was among a number of Hollywood celebrities who attacked and boycotted Israel after its war with Gaza, and even criticized film festivals for avoiding political issues and appearing to criticize Trump.
