Actress Julianna Margulies laments 'silence' of friends after Hamas terror attacks against Israel

Julianna Margulies, an actress known for roles in TV shows such as "The Good Wife" and "ER," authored an opinion piece in which she lamented the "silence" from her non-Jewish friends in the wake of the horrific October 7 terror attacks in Israel when Hamas terrorists murdered, raped, and kidnapped people in the Jewish state.

"Since this tragedy in Israel happened on Oct. 7, only two of my many non-Jewish friends reached out to me to see if I was OK, and let me know they were thinking of me after hearing that more than 1,200 Jews were killed," the actress wrote

Margulies indicated that she and her Jewish girlfriends had cried together in the wake of the attacks.

"In the week following this horrific event, the silence on your end was deafening. My Jewish girlfriends and I huddled together, crying and trying to make sense of a world gone mad," she wrote. "I couldn't sleep, I couldn't eat, I felt sick to my stomach. The silence continued. That's when we all began to wonder if we were safe."

"Just like the Nazis, Hamas' main goal: to cleanse the world of Jews," she noted. "So perhaps you can understand our fear when we hear nothing. We think to ourselves: Who will hide us when they come for us? We ask ourselves: If we have to flee, where could we go?"

"We are hurting and we are terrified, because history has shown us that this won't end well for the Jewish people if you don't hear our cries for help," she concluded.

Democratic Rep. Steny Hoyer of Maryland said last month that it is "dishonest" and "dangerous" to claim that Hamas' aim is anything other than slaughtering Jews and destroying Israel.
