Danit Greenberg has never hidden her admiration for "One Knows" star British actor Ed Westwick, but on Sunday she decided to remove a follower from him after he shared a post in which he expressed support for the Palestinians as well, and even went so far as to update him on this. "They burned children alive," Greenberg shared with Westwick in a screenshot she sent him in a private Facebook correspondence between the two with photos of the children burned on the kibbutz.
"It's crazy. I'm not sure what you wrote in the screenshot you sent me with my picture," Westwick replied, "but it doesn't matter. I hope the killing stops. It's madness." "I wrote that everyone should stop following you because you said 'both sides,'" Greenberg wrote back. "There is no such thing as 'both sides.' There is a side called Hamas – a terrorist organization worse than ISIS, which slaughtered innocent civilians, tied babies together and burned them alive. They kidnapped 150 people, an 85-year-old grandmother, a three-month-old baby. We're in a horror movie. This is our reality and you have decided to say something to 'both sides.'
"If you don't know what's really going on, you better not say anything. If you don't stand with Israel, you support terrorism. Learn the facts," Greenberg concluded, having indeed removed a follower from Westwick.

About a week ago, Westwick, 36, posted on his Instagram in which he shared with his 10.3 million followers that he felt the need to address the fighting between Israelis and Palestinians. "Part of me thinks what on earth I can positively contribute to this situation by making this announcement, but I feel on a human level, as a human being, that I have to say something," he said. "It's terrible. The suffering on both sides and the human cost is simply terrible. Terrorism is real. It's part of the world, and even though it sounds like just a line, my prayers go out to the families who have lost loved ones, all the souls who have been lost. It's terrible.

"Terrorism is satanic and I support all innocent people whose lives were destroyed in this war and in all wars. We as the human race need to evolve beyond the habit of killing. I don't have the answer. Learn. It's something I try to do every day. Go vote, make change happen, evolve, find peace. We must not give up and give in to madness," he added in the text accompanying the video.
