Hannah Einbinder Rebukes Hollywood’s Silence on Gaza in Newly Released Podcast

The episode’s release pushed critiques of industry silence into mainstream coverage.

Overview

  • The full Beyond Israelism episode featuring Hannah Einbinder, novelist Isabella Hammad, and activist Mahmoud Khalil went online and drew coverage from Variety, TheWrap, and Breitbart.
  • Einbinder said it "pisses me off" that peers "cannot utter a single word" about Gaza and she described Israel’s actions as a genocide.
  • She contrasted celebrity safety with Khalil’s sacrifices, arguing those with the most privilege face the least risk for speaking up.
  • She said Hollywood pays attention when punishment hits white stars, citing cases involving Jimmy Kimmel and Stephen Colbert as proof that earlier crackdowns set the stage.
  • Recorded at New York’s Riverside Church and produced by Zeteo with partner groups, the event linked the Gaza war debate to 2024 campus encampments and a two‑year shift in public opinion.
