Emmy Winner Hannah Einbinder: "Fuck ICE and Free Palestine"

“I feel like it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the State of Israel, because our religion and our culture is such an important and long standing … institution that is really separate to this sort of ethno-nationalist state,” Einbinder told press after accepting her Emmy for her performance in “Hacks.”

Einbinder added that she felt it was “important to talk about Palestine, because it’s an issue that’s very dear to my heart.” “I have friends in Gaza who are working as frontline workers, as doctors right now in the north of Gaza to provide care for pregnant women and for school children, to create schools in the refugee camps,” she said.

Einbinder also clarified that her pledge to boycott Israeli film festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production does not boycott individuals and “only boycotts institutions that are directly complicit in the genocide.”

“Like many movements, boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure on the powers that be to meet the moment,” Einbinder said.
