RICHARD EDEN: Bond Girl Olga Kurylenko comes under fire for voicing her sympathy for victims of Hamas atrocities in Israel
While most stars have avoided voicing support for Israel after the Hamas atrocities, for fear of losing fans, former Bond girl Olga Kurylenko bravely put her head above the parapet.
The Ukrainian and French actress, 43, who starred opposite Daniel Craig in Quantum of Solace, posted a message on social media expressing her sympathy. However, she received so much abuse that she later deleted her post.
'I'm done with your hatred and with your blood thirst,' she said in a subsequent message.
'Those who support terrorism and people killing each other should be ashamed of themselves. I have deleted my post now and I won't ever post any peace messages.'

The former model added: 'I'm a kind person and have NEVER taken sides even though you try to interpret me that way. You won't succeed. You have NO idea how I absolutely understand every side in wars.
'And yes, my heart bleeds for both nations that are dying. But you are too angry to understand and you don't deserve my support.'
Other stars who have voiced their solidarity for Israel include Madonna, Jamie Lee Curtis, rock band U2 and Kylie Jenner.
Reality television star and make-up mogul Jenner lost one million of her 400million followers on Instagram for her now-deleted post.
