Adam Brody Declares Support for Palestine, Calls Gaza Situation 'Genocide'

Adam Brody, star of the Netflix series "Never Say Never," has publicly voiced his stance on the conflict between Israel and Hamas in a recent interview with GQ. Brody stated, "I support a free Palestine. Sign me up as someone who thinks this is genocide." He expressed disappointment with various beliefs that have emerged during challenging times, including the pandemic, the Trump presidency, and the Israel-Gaza situation.

Brody noted that while he has discussed the war privately, his public statements have been limited. He believes the current situation, despite the immense suffering, may represent a long-overdue turning point. The actor also expressed hope that new leadership could address policies contributing to the ongoing crisis, potentially referencing the Trump administration or Israeli elections.

The interview coincides with the upcoming premiere of the third season of "Never Say Never," scheduled for October 22 on Netflix. In the series, Brody plays Rabbi Noah Roklov, who forms a relationship with a podcaster, Joan Williams, played by Kristen Bell, leading to Joan's exploration of Judaism.

Marvel star Florence Pugh also commented on the conflict in an interview with Vanity Fair, questioning the delay in public empathy and stating her consistent support for Palestine. She described witnessing the suffering as terrible, especially when other aspects of life continue as normal.
