Though I have never been a fan of Hollywood films, I had seen this white male Amercian actor with a longish scarred face, playing some sort of gangster role, and I’d felt vaguely sorry for how ugly he looked with his scarred face. His name never registered with me.

This changed today, when a friend sent a tweet that this actor’s mansion in Hollywood was destroyed by the wild fires. My friend pointed out the ‘kill them all’ hashtag this actor had posted in October 2023.

I must say, I felt justice was being done by Nature, as I watched the clip of this greedy pig of a monster almost breaking down because he lost one of his properties .

It felt like a huge relief that this guy was suffering a loss that reduced him to tears — though his loss is nothing in comparison to the multi-generational terror inflicted on Palestinians.
