Netflix "My Only Love Song" Star Slams Co-Star's Gaza Comments

Actress Tovah Feldshuh, who plays the mother of the main character in Netflix's "My Only Love Song," has sharply criticized her co-star Adam Brody for his public statements regarding Israel and the Gaza conflict. The dispute arose after Brody, in a September interview with GQ, referred to Israeli actions as genocide and called for a "free Palestine," expressing hope for a shift in U.S. foreign policy. Feldshuh, who is of Jewish descent, vehemently rejected these claims, calling them "outrageous manipulation" and "straight out of the Hitler playbook," stating, "You take the victim and turn them into the perpetrator." She emphasized the significant harm such public statements by opinion leaders inflict on the Jewish community and highlighted Israel's strategic importance to the democratic world. Despite their strong disagreement and concerns about rising antisemitism, Feldshuh noted that differing views should not impede the filming process or personal civility on set. Showrunner Erin Foster, who has converted to Judaism, also expressed her disagreement with Brody's stance, noting that the project was conceived as a "love letter to Jewish culture and traditions." In a separate but related development, Israeli model and actress Sherri (Sarai) Givaty has filed a lawsuit against UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese in Jerusalem's Magistrate Court, seeking 500,000 shekels in damages for defamation and harm to her honor and dignity.
