Striking Hollywood Actors Cancel Picket Lines on Hamas' 'Day of Jihad' Due to 'Potential Safety Concerns'

Hollywood actors cancel picketing due to safety concerns, possibly related to Hamas' "Day of Jihad" worldwide demonstrations.

On Friday, Hollywood actors who were planning to strike have called off their protests due to "potential safety concerns." This decision comes after Hamas declared a "Day of Jihad," or holy war, around the world. The leaders of SAG-AFTRA, the union representing these actors, issued a statement urging members to "stay safe," but did not explicitly mention the "Day of Jihad."

Variety, a news outlet, reported the news using a euphemism, stating that "Hamas has called for worldwide pro-Palestine demonstrations on Friday." However, it is clear that the safety concerns are related to the declaration of a holy war by Hamas.

Breitbart News pointed out that Hamas officially declared it "The Friday of the Al-Aqsa Flood," referring to Saturday's operation in which the terrorist organization launched a violent attack that has resulted in the deaths of 1,200 Israelis. Additionally, former Hamas chief Khaled Meshaal called for a "Day of Jihad," urging Muslims around the world to take to the streets.

In response to these developments, the New York City Police Department (NYPD) has instructed all officers to report for duty in uniform on Friday to ensure public safety.

It is worth noting that some mainstream media outlets have attempted to downplay the significance of the Hamas declaration by referring to it as a "day of rage" or "demonstrations."

The breakdown in negotiations between SAG-AFTRA and the studios occurred earlier this week when the union's latest proposal did not receive a response from the industry. This unexpected setback follows the successful negotiation of a new contract by the writers union just a few days ago.

Overall, the decision to cancel the Hollywood actors' protests due to safety concerns related to the "Day of Jihad" declared by Hamas highlights the complex and tense situation surrounding the ongoing strike and the geopolitical events happening globally.
