Margolyes also discussed her concerns around global politics, saying: “I don’t know if everybody else feels like this, but I don’t think things have ever been worse than they are now.” <\/p>\n
“But every single day when I get up now, I think about Gaza, and I think about the people who’ve had their homes blown up and then are told to move on and then when they move on they are shot and attacked and how does one respond to that?”<\/p>\n
According to Margolyes, it was “wicked”.<\/p>\n
“I don’t want my people to be wicked.<\/p>\n
“We who suffered, we who were at the receiving end of nastiness and wickedness and destruction and death and cruelty. I don’t want that.” <\/p>\n
“We have to be firm about what is good and what is bad, but nobody is facing the truth. What is the matter with everybody?”<\/p>\n
“Jews must hold themselves to higher standards, I’m afraid, and we are not doing that.” <\/p>\n
She added that it is “our fault, too, that these things happen in Israel”.<\/p>\n
“My friends and my relatives in Golders Green and Dollis Hill and Radlett and St Albans, all full of very nice middle-class Jewish people, decent good people, but they won’t speak against Israel and they’re wrong, because Israel has become a rogue nation,” she said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Margolyes also discussed her concerns around global politics, saying: “I don’t know if everybody else feels like this,…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":615751,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[6491,96,56,54,55],"class_list":["post-615750","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-uk","tag-united-kingdom","tag-unitedkingdom"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615750","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=615750"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/615750\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/615751"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=615750"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=615750"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/uk\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=615750"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
