Since the October 7 massacre, John Cusack, 57, tweeted with a high frequency of anti-Israel tweets, sharing statements like "Fu*k Israel," which he refers to as the "state of murder" in front of his 1.8 million followers.

His feed is also very updated on recent events: he managed to celebrate filing a lawsuit against Israel at the International Court in The Hague. He criticized Western countries' decision to suspend funding to UNRWA due to the organization's involvement in the October 7 massacre. "Collective crime," he tweets on the subject.
Cusack's feed is filled with fabricated blood libels and antisemitic conspiracy theories – from comparing the Jewish people to racist "white supremacy" to denying the atrocities committed by Hamas. And he also tends to share quotes from other antisemitic users.
A few days ago, Cusack responded to a user who suggested several proposals tailored to his shared content. "Why don’t you go and live in the East, John? Give up all your Western privilege that you’ve dined off your whole life and now feel so guilty about, and go and live somewhere where the values are more aligned with your belief system." In response Cusack tweeted, "Because I want to send foul people like you lots of pics of children choking on their blood and haunt you. Cause you deserve it. You know you do."
The Jewish organization Stop Antisemitism has taken a stand against Cusack, as they published the email of his agent and urged the public to send emails demanding the termination of any association with the actor. It's worth noting that actress Susan Sarandon was dismissed by her agency for much less severe statements.
