Celebrity Commentary on the Conflict in Israel by Mallory Hass
With the conflict in Israel being as heated as ever, more and more well-known celebrities are beginning to speak out against either side in the conflict. Celebrities such as Noah Schnapp, Amy Schumer, Michael Douglas, and even Chris Pine have all spoken about their beliefs regarding the conflict in Israel.
Noah Schnapp has been posting on various social media platforms about his hatred for Hamas. He has been said to have liked several videos on platforms such as TikTok and Instagram, as well as commenting on other videos in his own posts. Noah says that his viewpoint has been “misconstrued” and that all he wants is for the end to the killing of innocent people.
Chris Pine, Gal Gadot, and other celebrities, have openly signed a letter in support of Israel during the current war. The letter has been said to be the first of its kind, and it has been signed by over 700 famous figures from Hollywood. This letter was released on October 12, 2023, and has recently received more attention after Noah Schnapp’s stance on the war has been popularized.
Actors in support of Palestine in the Israel-Hamas war include the following: Mark Ruffalo, Gigi and Bella Hadid, Jessica Chastain, and John Cusack. Among these, Mark Ruffalo has been known to be very open about his stances on various political issues, including the Black Lives Matter movement, global warming, and, now, the Israel-Hamas war. Many look up to him to help them decide their stance on these issues, and now that he has clearly sided with Palestinians, many more citizens are likely to support Palestine, following his lead.
The majority of celebrities, likely in fear of backlash, have not spoken about their stance on the conflict, whatsoever. Some of the most popular celebrities, including Dwayne Johnson, who will occasionally share his beliefs on political issues, have not shared any of their thoughts on the conflict.
Overall, many of the celebrities who have spoken out about the Israel-Palestinian conflict have clearly sided with the Palestinians. However, there are a few that have spoken out in support of Israel.
