As the 82nd Venice International Film Festival kicks off, pro-Palestinian activists are using the high-profile event to draw attention to the war in Gaza. Demonstrators from the group Venice4Palestine are demanding the festival sever ties with organizations backing Israel and disinvite actors Gal Gadot and Gerard Butler, both linked to support for the Israeli military.
Anti-Bezos activists have threatened political violence at Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' wedding in Venice, pledging to disrupt the event and “make sure they choke on their wedding cake.”
