Actor Adam Brody stated in a new interview with GQ that he supports a free Palestine and views the ongoing Israel-Gaza war as a genocide. The remarks from the star of Netflix’s Nobody Wants This arrive just weeks before the streaming platform releases the third season of the Jewish romantic comedy series on Oct. 22, 2025.
Adam Brody’s Political Stance and Hollywood Climate
During his conversation with GQ, Brody addressed his political activism and was asked whether he believes Hollywood has grown more conservative. “I guess outspokenly so, yes. Again, as one side has more power, it makes sense that it draws people to it for all the human reasons that would be attractive: groupthink, your own well-being, your own money and success,” Brody told the outlet. The actor added that recent global events, including the COVID-19 pandemic, a second Donald Trump term, and the Israel-Gaza war, revealed political divisions and beliefs he was previously unaware of and found disheartening.
When the interviewer asked how the conflict in Gaza has surfaced in his public messaging, Brody acknowledged he has kept his views private until now. “Truthfully, it hasn’t. I have spoken a lot about it privately. I haven’t spoken much about it publicly,” he said. Asked directly if he wished to comment, the actor stated, “Put me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine.” He continued, “It’s awful that it’s taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it’s reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago. I’m hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is.”
Context Surrounding Nobody Wants This
The role earned Brody a 2025 Emmy nomination and a Critics Choice Award for best comedy actor that same year.
In a June 2024 interview for Variety’s Actors on Actors series, Brody noted that the show provided a “safe, celebratory space” during a “sensitive time” for Jewish people. Foster reinforced this creative boundary in an August 2025 interview with The Hollywood Reporter, explaining that the show intentionally avoids tackling the Middle East conflict. “It was really important to me and continues to be really important to tell positive Jewish stories. I know that it can be polarizing, but it shouldn’t be. This is not the show to tackle conflict in Israel and Palestine,” Foster said. She added, “I’m not the person to tell that story… after [the attacks on] Oct. 7 happened, there were conversations around if we were going to dive into it, and the truth is, the way that I can get my message across best is by shedding a positive light on Jewish characters and Jewish traditions.”
