Foster said people on the show can disagree, while stressing that she loves Brody and believes he is entitled to his views.
She says the series is a love letter to Judaism and wants Jewish viewers to feel seen and heard.
The show follows agnostic podcaster Joanne, played by Kristen Bell, as she falls in love with Noah and explores his Jewish culture.
Season 3 is now available to stream on Netflix, with Foster making a guest appearance.
A consultant for the show’s first season had previously called Brody’s use of the word genocide shocking and described him as ignorant.

What people are saying
While I love Adam, I also disagree with him – and that’s OK
That being said, everyone is entitled to a different opinion than me.
Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine
If you’re going to use a word like genocide, you ought to know what it means.
