💸 While Gaza Starves, Leonardo DiCaprio Is Building a 14-Story Luxury Hotel in Israel
Hollywood silence is one thing. But Leonardo DiCaprio is actively profiting from apartheid during a genocide. The hotel was just approved.

While Gaza starves, Leonardo DiCaprio is building a luxury hotel in Israel.
The world has watched at least 60,000 Palestinians be slaughtered.
Thousands more starved.
Entire family trees wiped out.
Every major human rights organization on earth now says it:
This is genocide.
And in the middle of it all — Hollywood’s golden boy is getting into the Israeli hotel business. It’s so gross. And this man presents himself as caring about human rights?
The facts:
Leonardo DiCaprio is an owner in a newly approved luxury hotel in Herzliya Marina, Israel — built in partnership with:
Hagag Group (an Israeli real estate firm), and
Developers Ahikam and Lior Cohen
And now — in July 2025, while Gaza lies in ruins — it’s been fully approved by the Tel Aviv District Planning and Building Committee.
Here’s what they’re building:
A 14-floor beachfront hotel
365 rooms
51,000 square meters of luxury development
Plus 8,000m² of underground parking
All on stolen land.
All in the heart of the apartheid state.
This isn’t neutral.
DiCaprio isn’t “just investing.” He’s:
Partnering with Israeli developers during an active genocide
Building luxury while Palestinians in Gaza can’t even access clean water
Profiting off tourism in a country that’s bombing schools, bakeries, mosques, and refugee camps
Whitewashing the fact that the nation he is partnering with is literal led by men charged with war crimes by the International Criminal Court.
And he’s doing it while saying nothing about Gaza. Nothing about the siege. Nothing about the death toll.
The man who built his reputation on climate justice, human rights, and speaking truth to power — has chosen silence when it mattered most.
Gaza is being starved. And Hollywood is cashing in.
This is not just about Leo.
It’s about the deep moral rot in Western celebrity culture.
They’ll wear pins. March for climate. Post about voting. They’ll put on dashikis and take a knee.
But when children are starving — when women are bleeding out in tents — when an entire people is being erased in real time — they look away.
DiCaprio’s silence isn’t just disappointing — it’s dangerous.
It sends a signal:
You can invest in Israel.
You can profit off genocide.
And no one in Hollywood will call you out.
Not your colleagues.
Not the press.
Not the brands.
But we see it. And we will say it.
You can’t claim to care about human rights while investing in apartheid.
You can’t post about justice while helping Israel whitewash its crimes.
You can’t stand on a stage thanking the Earth and the poor while staying silent about a government that’s dropping U.S.-made bombs on babies.
Leonardo DiCaprio, you have a choice:
Divest. Speak. Act. Or be complicit.
Yes, the business decisions of entertainers matters to me.
This man is building a luxury hotel in a country led by people charged with war crimes. Gaza needs food. Water. Aid. Safety. Life.
And what the world needs is moral clarity — especially from those with power.
Because when the massacres finally stop — and they will — we will remember who profited while Palestinians bled.

It's so disgusting. He was one of my favorite actors. I had no idea.
I can’t believe this. It is so disgusting. I had previously really respected his acting talent and his environmentalist work. And here he had his own challenging upbringings, you’d think he had more empathy. Since when do we level off entire ethnic groups for real estate! Since when do we capitalize off genocide! Shame on you Leo! Boo, hiss!
