James Woods: Schadenfreude and Extraordinary Comeuppance In Real Time…
Read on…
The genocide in Gaza has exposed those who are revolted by and wholly opposed to the slaughter of innocent men, women and children, and those whose allegiance is to the all-conquering machinery of the military industrial-complex.
We have seen the likes of John Cusack, Mark Ruffalo and Angelina Jolie, sticking their heads above the parapet to denounce their political leadership for their evil deeds in Palestinian territory and we have seen folks like James Woods.
James Woods is a brilliant actor and comedian, at whose jokes I had laughed in times past; his turn in Scary Movie and his lines with Clint Eastwood in the latter’s film did provide some comic relief, but it must be said that nothing prepared me for his pronouncements on the genocide in Gaza.
Unlike his fellow professionals in Hollywood, Woods wasn’t reluctant to hide the full extent of his bigotry and this was evinced by his tweet, when the reprisal attacks began in October 2023.
But what goes around, does come around and our protagonist felt the full force of karma, right at his doorstep.
Not unless you live under a rock, you will have heard about the wildfires, currently raging in the state of California.
