Jewish actor Adam Brody, best known for playing a rabbi in Netflix's 'Nobody Wants This,' publicly stated in a GQ interview that he believes Israel's actions in Gaza constitute genocide. 'Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine,' Brody said. He added that the conflict, alongside COVID and a second Trump term, has revealed more conservative views among his Hollywood peers. The article notes the accusation is heavily disputed, citing a UN Commission of Inquiry that concluded Israel's actions fit the description, while the International Court of Justice has not yet issued a final judgment on South Africa's genocide case against Israel. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, in his UN address last week, called the accusation 'the greatest lie of the 21st century.' The piece also notes that other Jewish actors, including Hannah Einbinder and Wallace Shawn, have made similar accusations, while celebrities like Jerry Seinfeld and Gal Gadot have voiced support for Israel.
