Jenna Ortega voices her support for Palestine and demands to know 'where is the humanity' - just months after Scream VII co-star Melissa Barrera was fired for criticizing Israel


Jenna Ortega has called for a ceasefire in Gaza months after her former Scream VII co-star Melissa Barrera was fired for voicing support for Palestinians.

The Wednesday star posted a photo of a Palestinian family sitting in a field of flowers smiling, apparently before the October 7 Hamas attack prompted Israel's invasion. Ortega's former Scream VII co-star Melissa Barrera was in November dumped from the horror film after making her own posts in support of Palestinians. Barrera, who played Sam Carpenter in the film series, in other posts labeled Israel as a 'colonized' land and appeared to repeat an anti-Semitic trope about Jewish people controlling the media.
