Los Angeles: Joining a growing list of celebrities using their platforms to speak out against the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza and West Bank, actor and comedian Hannah Einbinder said she was “ashamed and infuriated” and called for urgent action.

“As a queer person, as a Jewish person, and as an American I am horrified by the Israeli government’s massacre of well over 65,000 Palestinians”, Hannah Einbinder said in her Human Rights Campaign Visibility Award acceptance speech at the 2025 HRC Los Angeles Dinner.

“I am ashamed and infuriated that this mass murder is funded by our American tax dollars. It should not be controversial to say that we should all be against murdering civilians,” Einbinder said.

Einbinder, who has received wide acclaim for her role as a bisexual comedy writer on Hacks, said her condemnation of Israel is not in spite of her Jewish identity but because of it.

She said this recalling her time in Hebrew school where she learned that “central to being a Jew is asking questions, being inquisitive, arguing, wrestling with opposing points of view, questioning my own beliefs in order to keep learning and growing into a better human being, a better citizen of the world.

“I see it as antithetical to our deepest Jewish traditions to fall in line and not question the actions of a state enacting atrocities in our name,” she said.

“Israel’s actions are not in the name of Jewish safety and it is the very conflation of Israel’s actions with the Jewish people that continues to endanger Jews”, she said.

“We have to look into the tearful eyes of the children of Palestine, orphaned by American bombs, and say: Never again is now. Never again for anyone”, she said.
