Support poured in across social media, especially from Jewish users and pro-Palestinian advocates
(Web Desk) - Jewish American actress and comedian Hannah Einbinder has gone viral after posting an Instagram story calli.mtng on “Jews of conscience” to reject Zionism and speak out against Israel’s actions in Gaza.
Her post, which drew widespread attention, included a graphic image and sharp criticism of US support for Israel’s military campaign.
“Do not look away — your tax dollars fund this. You and I are paying for this. It is our responsibility as Americans to end this,” she wrote.
Einbinder added, “Jews of conscience, wake up! They are doing this in our name! Do not just speak about the current Israeli government — what an unimaginable cop out. This is Zionism. Denounce it.”
Support poured in across social media, especially from Jewish users and pro-Palestinian advocates who applauded her courage.
“She’s a real one,” one commenter wrote.
“She’s been posting NONSTOP calling to action.”
Another added, “So much respect to her and legions of brave Jewish voices for humanity.”
Many praised her as a role model, with comments like, “She’s a beautiful human being. A role model for the rest of us.” “She is a legend!!”
“It’s so important to support actors who speak out on genocide. Thank you, Hannah.”
At the same time, her remarks drew criticism from some who felt her language was inflammatory or misinformed. A small number of replies included antisemitic or extremist rhetoric, underscoring the sensitive and polarised nature of the topic.
This is not Einbinder’s first public critique of Israeli government policy.
In March 2025, during her acceptance speech at the Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award, she condemned the violence in Gaza, saying, “As a Jewish person… I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of Palestinians,” she said.
