Yoseph Haddad Slams Jewish Actor Adam Brody for 'Free Palestine' Remarks

Yoseph Haddad, the second-in-command of the 'Am Israel' party, fiercely criticized Jewish-American actor Adam Brody for stating he wants a 'free Palestine.' Haddad, an activist and public figure, posted on social media that Brody is a 'big idiot' who prefers applause from his 'submissive Hollywood bubble,' even if it means appeasing those who wish him dead. Haddad equated anti-Zionism with antisemitism.

Brody, who plays a rabbi in a popular Netflix show, expressed his anti-Israel stance in an interview with GQ magazine, calling the situation in Gaza 'genocide' and stating his desire for a 'free Palestine.' He hoped a different administration could rectify the policies contributing to the dire situation, noting he had previously discussed the issue privately but not publicly.

Brody's comments follow similar sentiments from other Hollywood figures. Actress Susan Sarandon and others were arrested outside a UN General Assembly rally in New York protesting the arrival of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. The article notes that Brody, a Jewish star, used his platform to voice his anti-Israel views.

Online reactions to Brody's statements were mixed. Some users criticized him, with one suggesting he 'mistakenly received the right to be Jewish.' Others defended him, pointing out that the show's creator is Jewish and supportive of Israel, and has done significant advocacy work. Another user attributed Brody's remarks to ignorance, thanking the creators of the film 'Nezar.'
