As Christmas approaches and Scream 7 collapses, Melissa Barrera is not backing down in her vocal support for Palestine. Barrera, who was fired from project after sharing posts about Israel-Hamas war that studio behind franchise deemed anti-Semitic, continued speaking out about conflict.

In an Instagram post, actress wrote in all caps, “I hope this Christmas feels ... weird. I hope you can’t ignore fact that you’re celebrating birth of child who was persecuted and targeted and his parents forced to flee to Egypt while right now, millions of Palestinians from that exact part of world, are being persecuted and targeted and forced to flee their homes while they are indiscriminately and relentlessly bombed.”

She added, “Merry Xmas.” Berrera wrote message as caption to political cartoon showing Santa in his sleigh passing cart carrying dead bodies instead of presents.

“We have zero tolerance for antisemitism or incitement of hate in any form, including false references to genocide, ethnic cleansing, Holocaust distortion or anything that flagrantly crosses the line into hate speech,” Spyglass Media Group told Variety.–Agencies
