Adam Brody, who plays Rabbi Noah Roklov in the Netflix series Nobody Wants This, has shared his views on the Israel-Palestine conflict. In an interview with GQ, Brody described the situation as a genocide and expressed support for a free Palestine. He acknowledged the widespread death and suffering caused by the conflict, saying it has reached a critical point that should have been addressed earlier. Brody also expressed hope that a new administration could help improve the situation by addressing policies that have contributed to the crisis. Brody also reflected on the political divisions within Hollywood, noting that recent events—such as the Israel-Gaza conflict, the possibility of a second Trump presidency, and the pandemic—have exposed differing opinions within the industry. Some of these differences have left him feeling discouraged. Nobody Wants This follows Joanne, an agnostic sex podcaster played by Kristen Bell, who falls in love with Noah, a newly single rabbi portrayed by Brody. The show was quickly renewed for a second season after its 2024 debut, with a third season scheduled to release on October 22. Brody, who is Jewish, admitted he had limited knowledge about Judaism before taking on the role and was initially unsure about portraying a religious character. However, he eventually embraced the challenge of researching and accurately representing the character. Brody’s comments came shortly after several Hollywood celebrities were detained during a protest outside the United Nations General Assembly in New York City. The protest, organized by Jewish Voice for Peace, took place as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered remarks. Among those detained were Hannah Einbinder from Hacks and Susan Sarandon from Thelma & Louise, according to the New York Post. It is unclear if they face formal charges. Protesters, including Cynthia Nixon from Sex and the City, Chelsea Manning, and comedian Caleb Heron, gathered in large numbers and chanted for Netanyahu’s arrest, accusing him of genocide.
