This is not the first time that the award-winning actress criticises Israeli policies that negatively affect the country’s Arab population. Her remarks prompted suspicions that she supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, something which she later denied, saying that she only opposes Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies.
Hollywood actress of Israeli descent Natalie Portman has come up with another round of criticism against the Israeli government, slamming it for adopting a nation-state law in an interview with Al-Quds newspaper. Portman called the law “racist” and strongly opposed its concept as erroneous.
