Jewish-American actor Adam Brody, best known for his role in the series "The O.C." and currently playing a rabbi in a Netflix hit, gave a first-of-its-kind interview to GQ magazine in which he expressed firm anti-Israel views regarding the war in Gaza. Brody stated: "Think of me as someone who thinks it's genocide. Think of me as someone who wants a free Palestine." He added that the situation has reached a breaking point that should have been reached "long ago," and that until now he had only discussed the issue privately. Brody expressed hope that a future US administration could correct policies contributing to the situation. The article on Channel 14 presents his statements as harsh criticism, while linking them to anti-Israel protests outside the UN General Assembly in New York, where actresses Susan Sarandon and Hannah Einbinder were arrested. The article emphasizes the anti-Israel positions of the protesters and presents Brody as someone who "used the stage" for ill.
