Joaquin Phoenix's appearance on the This Past Weekend podcast was influenced by Theo Von's emotional remarks about the Gaza conflict. Von expressed feelings of genocide regarding the strikes on Gaza, and Phoenix expressed being moved by Von's courage and honesty. He condemned the starvation of children amid such conflicts, emphasizing the importance of basic human rights over geopolitical understanding. The Gaza Health Ministry estimates nearly 60,000 deaths have occurred, highlighting the urgent human crisis as real-time images of suffering circulate online, prompting distress among viewers.
I was really moved by something that you said when you talked about the war in Gaza. And I think that's really courageous to speak about it.
There's no justification for fucking children starving to death in a conflict. Like, it's that simple, right?
People are watching things on their phones and you can see for the first time, some of this travesty in real time and it just fucking hurts, man.
