Tovah Feldshuh criticizes Adam Brody’s comments on Gaza

Tovah Feldshuh criticized Adam Brody’s comments on Gaza in an interview with the New York Post.

Brody, her co-star on Netflix’s *Nobody Wants This*, said in a GQ interview that he considers Israel’s actions in Gaza a genocide and wants a free Palestine.

Feldshuh rejected his use of the word genocide, saying it wrongly casts Jewish people as perpetrators rather than victims.

Brody plays Rabbi Noah Roklov, while Feldshuh plays his mother, Bina, on the show.

The disagreement has become public among the show’s cast and creator: creator Erin Foster has also said she disagrees with Brody, while saying that disagreement is acceptable.

Feldshuh said Israel’s continued existence is crucial to the democratic and free world.

The comments highlight differing views on Israel and Gaza among people working on the series; no further response from Brody is included.

To accuse the Jewish people of genocide is wild. It’s right out of Hitler’s playbook. You take the victim, and you make the victim the perpetrator.
