The recent controversy surrounding actor Mark Ruffalo's anti-Israel remarks has intensified with Jewish actress Hannah Einbinder publicly supporting him. Critics accuse Einbinder of moral betrayal and dangerous ignorance, arguing that her praise of attacks on Israel reflects blindness and pandering to an antisemitic environment rather than enlightenment. The criticism highlights the ease of expressing self-hatred from the comfort of a Los Angeles villa while ignoring the rising antisemitism worldwide.

The article draws historical parallels to 1930s Europe, warning that assimilation and denial of Jewish identity did not protect Jews from the Holocaust. It stresses that antisemitism does not discriminate based on social status or wealth. The phrase "Never Again" is emphasized as a solemn commandment, not an empty slogan, especially in light of the October 7 attacks where terrorists murdered and assaulted innocent Israeli civilians.

The piece underscores the Jewish people's enduring connection to the Land of Israel, rooted in biblical promises, as a vital lifeline rather than a political issue. It calls on Hollywood to recognize that the Jewish fate affects everyone and that Israel is not a privilege or a fashionable target for criticism but the sole fortress for Jewish survival. Those who distance themselves from Israel for applause are accused of ignoring painful historical lessons, with the final reminder that there is no alternative homeland for the Jewish people.
