\n\tNobody Wants This<\/a> star Adam Brody<\/a> is sharing his thoughts on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, telling GQ<\/a> in a new interview that he is in support of \u201ca free Palestine<\/a>.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tThe actor, who appears on the Netflix series as a rabbi, discussed his political activism with GQ, and was asked if he thinks Hollywood has gotten more conservative. \u201cI guess outspokenly so, yes. Again, as one side has more power, it makes sense that it draws people to it for all the human reasons that would be attractive: groupthink, your own well-being, your own money and success,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\n\tBrody continued, \u201cBetween COVID, a second Trump term, Israel-Gaza, it\u2019s really brought out some different beliefs that I was ignorant to, and then disheartened by.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tThe interviewer asked the actor how Israel-Gaza has come up in his messaging, to which he responded, \u201cTruthfully, it hasn\u2019t. I have spoken a lot about it privately. I haven\u2019t spoken much about it publicly.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\tWhen asked if he\u2019d like to speak about the topic, The O.C. actor said, \u201cPut me down as thinking it\u2019s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cIt\u2019s awful that it\u2019s taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it\u2019s reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago,\u201d he continued. \u201cI\u2019m hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\tNetflix is gearing up to release the third season<\/a> of its Jewish rom-com Nobody Wants This<\/a> on Oct. 22. Brody was nominated for a 2025 Emmy for his role in the series, and won the Critics Choice Award for best comedy actor that same year. <\/p>\n

\n\tIn an August 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter<\/a>, series creator Erin Foster said of the show, \u201cIt was really important to me and continues to be really important to tell positive Jewish stories. I know that it can be polarizing, but it shouldn\u2019t be. This is not the show to tackle conflict in Israel and Palestine.\u201d <\/p>\n

\n\t\u201cI\u2019m not the person to tell that story,\u201d Foster added. \u201cAnd after [the attacks on] Oct. 7 happened, there were conversations around if we were going to dive into it, and the truth is, the way that I can get my message across best is by shedding a positive light on Jewish characters and Jewish traditions. I don\u2019t think somebody watching wants to see another voice give you their opinion on what\u2019s happening.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Nobody Wants This star Adam Brody is sharing his thoughts on the ongoing Israel-Gaza war, telling GQ in…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":905847,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[32],"tags":[43136,64,63,447,134,43139,6899],"class_list":["post-905846","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-celebrities","tag-adam-brody","tag-au","tag-australia","tag-celebrities","tag-entertainment","tag-nobody-wants-this","tag-palestine"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905846","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=905846"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/905846\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/905847"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=905846"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=905846"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/au\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=905846"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
