'These people believed in peace': Michael Douglas reflects on visit to Kibbutz Be'eri

Hollywood actor Michael Douglas, who arrived in Israel on a solidarity visit, visited Kibbutz Be'eri, one of the communities that suffered the most during Hamas' attack on October 7, 2023.

The 79-year-old actor is actively involved in pro-Israel advocacy worldwide. He arrived in Israel last Friday and decided to visit Kibbutz Be'eri today, June 2, to witness firsthand the site of one of the greatest tragedies against the Jewish people. He met with kibbutz members and listened to their stories.

“I met people here who believed in peace,” said Michael Douglas. “They hosted their Palestinian neighbors. And now I wonder: how will they recover from this? It will take many generations, if it happens at all. How is it possible to overcome the desire for revenge? I don’t have an answer to this question.”
