'#TeamIsrael': 10 celebs using social media to stand with Israel

Comedian Rob Schneider tweeted about what he called the “ugly inhuman siege of Gaza” and actress Carolina Guerra accused Israel of committing a “slow genocide.” Other celebs have tweeted and quickly deleted the #FreePalestine hashtag.

As Hamas fires thousands of rockets into Israel, where are the celebs using Twitter, Facebook and Instagram to support Israel’s right to exist? Where are the prayers for the IDF and for an end to terrorists’ use of civilians as human shields? Right here:

Bialik’s full Facebook message:

If you hate me for being jewish or a supporter of the right of Israel to exist, kindly post on pages that support your opinions rather than trying to bully me and other people who are Jewish. I’m sorry there is so much hatred and miseducation but we won’t fix it by name calling Jewish celebrities, I promise. God bless America for letting us have our own opinions and God bless Israel for allowing jews to have a home. I pray for a peaceful state for Palestinians who also seek peace and want to pursue it. Not sure there is more to say.

John F. Kennedy: Israel was not created in order to disappear- Israel will endure and flourish. Child of hope and the home of the brave.

5. “Lost,” “Being Human” and “Supernatural” actor Mark Pellegrino

Great quote from an Islraeli Lt. Col: "Israel uses weapons to safeguard civilians. Hamas uses civilians to safeguard weapons."

@StormJPad not Israel's fault that those terroristic cowards hide behind children and fire rockets from apartment complexes.

— Mark Pellegrino (@MarkRPellegrino) July 12, 2014

@StormJPad then display the bodies of the children they used as human shields to shame the Israelis. The shame is entirely on Hamas.

— Mark Pellegrino (@MarkRPellegrino) July 12, 2014

@Ininers Hamas and freedom hardly belong in the same sentence

— Mark Pellegrino (@MarkRPellegrino) July 24, 2014

@Ininers and Israel keeps fighting because Hamas keeps firing rockets into civilian areas

Things here in Israel are a little bit dicey but as former sniper for the Haganah nothing that makes me very nervous.
