The famous British actress and playwright Juliet Stevenson said that she cannot remain silent about the situation in the Gaza Strip.

On Friday, Stevenson expressed her support for the “silent march” organized by health sector workers in London, to protest the killing of more than 260 health workers and more than 20,000 civilians in Gaza, according to the Anadolu Agency.

She pointed to the extent of injustice in the Gaza Strip, which is under Israeli attack.

Since last October 7, the Israeli army has been waging a devastating war on Gaza, which as of Friday morning left “20,57 murdered and 53,320 wounded, most of them children and women,” massive infrastructure destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe, according to the Gaza Strip authorities and the United Nations.

“I'm 67 years old, and I've witnessed many atrocities around the world, but I don't think I've ever witnessed anything on the scale we're seeing now in Gaza", Stevenson said.

She described attempts to prevent demonstrations to protest the Israeli attacks on Gaza as "malicious and dangerous."

The British actress warned that this would lead to more killing.

She confirmed her support for the demonstrations of solidarity with the Palestinian people, and revealed that she participates in them as much as possible.

She added: "I have never witnessed the things I saw (in Gaza). Children are dying of hunger. Children are without medicine, without a doctor, without hospitals (...) Surgical operations are performed on young children without anesthesia."

Stevenson added: "No one can describe me as anti-Semitic. Demanding a ceasefire, to stop the killing of thousands of innocent civilians, is not anti-Semitism."

She said: “It is not anti-Semitism to demand an end to the bombing, killing, maiming and depriving children of all medical supplies.”

It is noteworthy that Stevenson starred in many films, such as “Mona Lisa’s Smile,” “Diana,” and “Truly, Madly and Deeply,” and won awards including “Laurence Olivier for Best Actress,” which is the highest honor in the theater.
