Case in point, I'm gonna present to you with Adam Brody, uh, who played, he literally plays a rabbi on the Netflix show Nobody Wants This.
Meghan McCainHOST
He hadn't said anything in the past, and in a new GQ interview, he said, quote, "Put me down as thinking it's a genocide, put me down on wanting a free Palestine." Uh, it prompted a furious response actually from Rabbi Steve Leder, I believe that's how you say his name, who actually coached Brody for the show, so he was, like, his person telling him how to, how to act as a, you know, doing it correctly, uh, to be a rabbi on this, in the television show.

In a notable public dispute, Rabbi Steve Leder has sharply criticised actor Adam Brody for stating that Israel committed genocide in Gaza.
Noa LeviHOST
Rabbi Leder, who consulted on Brody's Netflix series, Nobody Wants This, described Brody's comments as shocking, flippant and disgusting, asserting his own view that there is no genocide in Gaza.
