has been branded “Antisemite of the Week” by a Jewish watchdog group for bashing Israel and spreading “antisemitic rhetoric.” The Emmy-nominated star, 63, is a pro-Palestinian activist who has accused Israel of genocide, including through starvation, and says the United States and other countries are aiding and abetting the Jewish state’s atrocities in Gaza.

The actress previously shared a post claiming “gas chambers” were “far more merciful” than starvation – a grotesque comparison of the murder of Jews during the Holocaust with the Gaza war, said the group StopAntisemitism.“Her posts recycle classic antisemitic tropes, trivialize Jewish suffering, and deny Jewish legitimacy – language that puts Jewish communities at real risk both online and offline,” said StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez, whose group labeled Cross its “Antisemite of the Week.”Bari Weiss closes in on top job at CBS News — but staff fear it would be like ‘dropping a grenade’: sourcesCross had posted numerous other statements on her X and Instagram accounts about the war in Gaza and painted Israel as the villain, though Hamas provoked the war by invading Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing 1,200 people and taking dozens of hostages. “YOU ARE THE BILE OF THE UNIVERSE AND THE ROT AT THE CORE OF ANYTHING DECENT,” she said of the Jewish state and supporters.StopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez accused Cross of using language that “puts Jewish communities at real risk both online and offline” in her social media posts.“The entire population is being starved to death. Hostages included. To lie and say the photos of starving human beings are doctored is the lowest of lows. -and the antisemitism card is over,” Cross She also has spewed antisemitic tropes about Israel “controlling” US politicians, including former Democratic Presidents Barack Obama and Joe Biden and current Republican President Trump. Cross claimed that “@KamalaHarris was next to join the fools of the Netanyahu show” in another post, referring to Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the former US veep.Cross shared a post claiming that the gas chambers where Holocaust victims were killed were “far more merciful” to starvation.“From every river to every sea, end US complicity,” the announcement said. “Break the siege on Gaza. Support global flotilla.” Cross shared another post on her Instagram page that said, “What’s the point of Holocaust museums if they are silent in the face of genocide?” StopAntisemitism said in its summary of Cross, “She recently signed a pledge vowing to refuse work with Israeli institutions and companies, boycotting the world’s only Jewish nation.“Hiding behind a pretense of advocacy, Marcia Cross actively spreads antisemitic rhetoric and fuels hostility toward the Jewish community.” The group is launching a public pressure campaign, calling for letters demanding the star be dropped by her talent agency. “Marcia Cross has moved from being recognized for her acting to being notorious for spreading dangerous antisemitic rhetoric,” Rez said. “With nearly a million followers, she uses her platform not for advocacy, but to demonize Israel, excuse Hamas, and promote violence against Jews.” Cross is an Emmy- and Golden Globe-nominated American actress who skyrocketed to fame for her role as Bree Van de Kamp on the ABC soap opera “Desperate Housewives” from 2004 to 2012.Cross earlier earned acclaim as the psycho Dr. Kimberly Shaw on the 1990s prime-time TV soap opera “Melrose Place.” Charlie Kirk assassination suspect had 'furry' fixation, and his trans boyfriend proclaimed support for Biden on social mediaCharlie Kirk's alleged assassin lived with transgender partner: sourceUkrainian refugee Iryna Zarutska's look of horror after she was fatally stabbed on train — as her final moments are revealedAll the celebrities at NYFW September 2025: Kristin Chenoweth, Ciara and more Bill Maher Reacts to Charlie Kirk Assassination on ‘Real Time’: “So Far, the Civil War Is Not Very Civil” ‘South Park’ Episode Parodying Charlie Kirk Pulled From Comedy Central Airwaves — But Is Still Streaming on Paramount+ ‘The View’s Whoopi Goldberg Says Democrats Should’ve “Kept Their Mouths Shut” About Joe Biden’s Decline Ahead Of 2024 ElectionStopAntisemitism founder Liora Rez accused Cross of using language that"puts Jewish communities at real risk both online and offline" in her social media posts.
