English actor Michael Caine joins calls to end child starvation in Gaza
In a pair of emotional posts shared on X, the 91-year-old actor wrote:
'Feed the Children of Gaza, no child should be starving.'
Feed the Children of Gaza, no child should be starving.
— Michael Caine (@themichaelcaine) July 24, 2025
Followed by:
'Cannot look at children in Gaza begging for food. Geldof, feed kids. Want to allow the innocent a life.'
Caine's rare public comments have been widely praised across social media platforms, with users thanking him for using his voice and demanding others do the same. One post read:
'No more Israel starving to death babies and children. No more 'Israel' carrying out its genocide. Thank you, Michael Caine.'
EVERYONE should be speaking out against the Palestinian genocide by Israel.
No more Israel starving to death babies and children.
No more Israel carrying out its genocide.

Caine's call comes amid dire warnings from humanitarian organizations about famine conditions in Gaza, where children are dying from hunger due to the "Israeli" blockade and restrictions on aid. His mention of Bob Geldof, known for organizing the 1985 Live Aid concert to combat famine in Ethiopia, appeared to be a direct appeal for a similar humanitarian mobilization.
While Caine has not previously been vocal about the "Israeli" genocide in Gaza, his public statement is being viewed as a powerful stand against it.

Palestinian Mohammed Assaf rebuked for participation in Carthage festival
ALBAWABA - Palestinian singer Mohammed Assaf was heavily rebuked for his intention to participate in Tunisia's International Festival of Carthage. As part of the 59th Carthage festival, Palestinian artist Mohammed Assaf is preparing to perform a major concert on the evening of July 27, under the slogan "For Gaza." According to the media, the concert is expected to blend music with humanitarian values and solidarity with the Palestinian people. However, despite that, Assaf landed in hot water by his fans for major principles. One of the main reasons that Mohammed Assaf was criticized for was that the Carthage festival is sponsored by many companies and brands, including "Carrefour Tunisia". It is worth noting that the Carrefour group is under a huge boycott campaign by pro-Palestinian activists over its links to Israel. Another reason was that due to the harsh situation and the starvation in Gaza due to the blockade imposed by the Israeli army, banning humanitarian aid from entering the strip. Many fans attacked Assaf in the comments, saying: "What a shame," "So you're going to relieve them while you're singing????" and "How will the people of Gaza benefit from the concert? Explain to me, I can't understand." Another wrote: "How can you sing and dance while the people of Gaza are in this situation? I am Palestinian and humiliated by you." According to the BDS website, Carrefour, the French group, is a franchise partnership with Electra Consumer Products (ECP) and its retail subsidiary, Yenot Bitan, both active in the illegal Israeli settlement enterprise. The International Festival of Carthage is an annual music festival taking place in July and August since 1964 in the coastal city of Carthage, Tunisia.

Ozzy Osbourne's home city hails star who 'lived life in rock n' roll'
BIRMINGHAM, United Kingdom — "RIP Ozzy", "Thank you for the music". Fans gathered in Ozzy Osbourne's home city Wednesday to pay homage to the heavy metal music icon. Floral tributes piled up for the legendary Black Sabbath frontman, just over two weeks after he and his fellow band mates filled a stadium in the central English city for a memorable reunion concert. Some fans told AFP they were still in shock and felt emotional at news of the 76-year-old's death on Tuesday after a battle with Parkinson's disease. "Today is, I think, one of the darkest days in heavy metal history because the godfather of heavy metal just passed away," said Burjor Anklesaria, a 32-year-old doctor from London. Nigel O'Connell, 63, brought his grandson with him to view a mural honouring the group in the city centre. He said he was saddened by the news but not surprised "because he lived his life in rock and roll". "Ozzy was just a bit of an icon of the city -- he was a bit of a fool, but everybody loved him!" he said, adding Osbourne had "done the city proud". Elsewhere in the city centre, posters of the singer sprang up on walls while flowers also appeared at the Black Sabbath canal bridge. Fans left lit candles, flowers, soft toys and even cans of beer at a bench on the bridge adorned with drawings of the faces of the four band members. Fresh in everyone's mind is the July 5 concert at Birmingham's Villa Park football stadium in front of tens of thousands of adoring heavy metal fans from around the world. Weak from Parkinson's disease, the ailing singer had to stay seated throughout the sell-out gig, the first they had performed in 20 years. His performance moved many in the crowd to tears. 'Mad days, good memories' Rebecca Brownell and her 13-year-old son Billy, a recent convert to heavy metal, were among those leaving flowers at the mural. The 45-year-old seamstress described Osbourne's death as both "sad and not sad because, you know, he had a great last few months". She said the heavy metal scene was "big for Birmingham" and the concert had "brought it all back". "Hopefully that will carry on for a little while ... and a new generation of kids will learn all about it," she said. Black Sabbath's first manager Jim Simpson, visiting the bridge, said the number and range of people who had turned out following his death showed the impact his music had on people. "There are people here who are 80 years of age or eight years of age and all stages in between and it shows he had a remarkable way of contacting people," he said. "It has been 55 years and still [Black Sabbath] are more popular than ever." The world had lost "an inordinately nice, balanced, human being" in Osbourne, he said. For schoolgirl Eliza Shepherd, 16, Osbourne had been a "massive part" of her life as her father had passed on his love of Black Sabbath. Praising him as "cool and funny", she said the concert had been the "best day of my life". "It was just sad to see him struggling a bit. But it was so good," she said. For many fans, however, the sadness was tempered by the memory of happy times and great music over the years. "All the concerts were mad, everyone was just jumping around and having a good time ... mad days, but it was good fun, good memories," O'Connell added.
