To all the sycophants of Zionism: Millions of decent Jews around the world know a genocide when they see one. We owe them the burden of distinguishing truth from falsehood, that Judaism is one thing and Zionism is an altogether diffferent thing. I am not a fan of religions, but for those who embrace the Jewish religion I say they have the rersponsibility of separating the colonial brutality of Zionism from the Jewish religion.
Zionists want to equate Zionist=Jew=Israeli. When they do this, they think they are defending their colonial greed and inhumanity by hiding behind a religion (Judaism) and a state (Israel). But in the process, they aim to make every Jew around the world responsible for the indecency of the Zionist colonial rape of Palestine.
Thank you Javier Bardem and Hannah Einbinder. Even in the world of entertainement, principles matter. Hannah could have done better with her grammar, because the verb F - - - seems to apply to both ICE and Free Palestine. But people get your call for justice and liberty. Thank you.

Hannah Einbinder Declares “F*** ICE & Free Palestine’ During Emmy Acceptance Speech—And It Cost Her $10k
Hannah Einbinder lit up the Emmys stage during her acceptance speech after winning the statuette for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for her work on HBO Max’s Hacks on Sunday night. Going over her allotted time, the star made a couple of very timely declarations.
“I want to thank Jean Smart, who is like the sun, and I just get to stand in her warmth. I want to thank the cast and crew of Hacks,” Einbinder said.
She continued boldly, “I’ll pay the difference, sorry. Finally, I want to say, Go Birds, F*** ICE and Free Palestine.”
The reference to paying the difference reflects host Nate Bargatze’s charity fundraiser for every minute a winner goes over their allotted time with their speech. It is estimated that Einbinder will have to pay $10k for her final words trashing ICE, which stands for U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement, as well as calling for a free Palestine. The funds will all go to the Boys and Girls Club. In the minutes after the roaring applause that followed her closer, a GoFundMe was started on her behalf.
Javier Bardem also showed his support for a free Palestine by wearing a Palestinian Keffiyeh to the celebration. He used his time on the red carpet to say he denounces “genocide in Gaza.” Einbinder’s Hacks co-star, Megan Stalter, also took a stand by speaking of the importance of using your platform to bring attention to important issues.
“How many hundreds of thousands of dead children need to suffer for people to wake up?” Bardem told USA Today.
It was revealed earlier in the night that Hacks would end after five seasons, with Einbinder saying they didn’t want to overstay their welcome. Season 4 concluded, airing on HBO Max in the spring.
Einbinder has been nominated for a total of four Emmys for portraying Ava Daniels on Hacks, with today’s accolade counting as her first win. Earlier tonight, her co-star Smart won an Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.
Einbinder competed in the category against Liza Colón-Zayas for The Bear, Kathryn Hahn for The Studio, Janelle James for Abbott Elementary, Catherine O’Hara for The Studio, Sheryl Lee Ralph for Abbott Elementary, and Jessica Williams for Shrinking.

‘Hacks’ Hannah Einbinder On “Free Palestine” Speech: “It Is My Obligation As A Jewish Person To Distinguish Jews From The State Of Israel”
Backstage at the Emmy Awards ceremony Sunday night, Hannah Einbinder followed up on her acceptance speech call to “Free Palestine.”
Einbinder made the statement, along with saying “F–k ICE” as she accepted the Emmy for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role of Ava Daniels in Hacks.
In her onstage acceptance speech, she thanked the creators of Hacks for “changing my life in every conceivable way. but not just by giving me a great gig, but by being my friends and being my family.”
Her final words were bleeped when she said, “Finally, go birds, f— ICE and free Palestine. Thank you.”
Backstage, standing alongside Hacks co-star Jean Smart who just won in her Lead Actress category, Einbinder was asked by the press to expand on her statement about Palestine and about her move earlier this week, alongside 1,200 others, to sign a pledge to boycotting Israeli film institutions.
“I thought it was important to talk about Palestine,” she said, “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. And it’s an issue that’s really close to my heart for many reasons.”
She continued, “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.”
She elaborated on her decision to sign the pledge, too, emphasizing she is focused on “complicit institutions” rather than individuals: “In terms of the pledge, it’s like many movements, boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure on the powers that be to meet the moment, you know. So the film workers for Palestine boycott does not boycott individuals, it only boycotts institutions that are directly complicit in the genocide. So, it’s important to me, and I think it’s an important measure, and so I was happy to be a part of it.”
This was Einbinder’s fourth Emmy nomination and first win. She was nominated each season for the Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category for Hacks. The comedy series is nominated for 14 Emmys tonight, including outstanding comedy series.

Javier Bardem Says ‘Free Palestine’ on Emmys Red Carpet and ‘I Can’t Work With Someone That Justifies or Supports the Genocide’
Javier Bardem walked the red carpet at the 2025 Emmy Awards wearing a keffiyeh scarf and voicing his support for Film Workers for Palestine. Speaking to Variety’s Marc Malkin, Bardem said he “cannot work with someone who justifies or supports the genocide.”
“Here I am today, denouncing the genocide in Gaza,” he told Malkin on the red carpet. “I am talking about the IAGS, the International Association of Genocide Scholars, who study thoroughly genocide and has declared it is a genocide. That’s why we ask for a commercial and diplomatic blockade and also sanctions on Israel to stop the genocide. Free Palestine.”
In the week leading up to the Emmys, 3,900 industry names signed an open pledge that was organized by Film Workers for Palestine and declared the signees will not work with Israeli institutions and film companies that are “implicated in genocide and apartheid against the Palestinian people.” The pledge states that examples of complicity include “whitewashing or justifying genocide and apartheid, and/or partnering with the government committing them.”
Paramount responded to the letter on Friday by issuing a statement condemning a boycott against the Israeli film and television industry: “At Paramount, we believe in the power of storytelling to connect and inspire people, promote mutual understanding, and preserve the moments, ideas, and events that shape the world we share. This is our creative mission. We do not agree with recent efforts to boycott Israeli filmmakers. Silencing individual creative artists based on their nationality does not promote better understanding or advance the cause of peace,” the statement continued. “The global entertainment industry should be encouraging artists to tell their stories and share their ideas with audiences throughout the world. We need more engagement and communication — not less.”
Bardem responded to the letter by saying, “There’s also an association called Film Workers for Palestine that I want to clarify something based on Paramount’s letter. Film Workers for Palestine do not target any individuals based on identity. The targets are those film companies and institutions that are complicit and are white-washing or justifying the genocide and its apartheid regime. We do stand with those who are helping and being supportive of the oppressed people.”
He added, “I cannot work with someone that justifies or supports the genocide. That’s as simple as that. We shouldn’t be able to do that, in this industry or any other industry.”
Bardem signed the letter alongside Hollywood filmmakers like Yorgos Lanthimos, Ava DuVernay, Asif Kapadia, Emma Seligman, Boots Riley, Adam McKay, Olivia Colman, Ayo Edebiri, Mark Ruffalo, Riz Ahmed, Tilda Swinton, Lily Gladstone, Hannah Einbinder, Gael Garcia Bernal, Melissa Barrera and Emma Stone, among others.
Bardem attended the 2025 Emmys as a nominee for his performance as José Menendez in the Netflix crime series “Monsters: The Lyle and Erik Menendez Story.” The Oscar winner was nominated in the outstanding supporting actor in a limited or anthology series or movie.
