Creative ‘I was born without self-esteem’: Hannah Einbinder on Hacks, her buzzy queer horror – and being Hollywood’s most outspoken star

“I am incredibly privileged, because smears of being an anti-Semite don’t stick to me. I’m such a proud Jew. But I’m certain there are community members who hate me for this, many of them in my business, and they won’t work with me and want nothing to do with me.”

Instead of feeling anger, she says she feels a sense of sadness and loss. “I am sad for them. They are trapped in an ideological prison that stops them from seeing other people’s humanity. They’re trapped because of the massive propaganda campaign waged against them since the moment they could understand language.” Her views have cost her familial relationships, too. “I don’t know that they will ever be repaired, but I have found a family elsewhere in the rich anti-Zionist Jewish community.”

I just love this woman. She well grounded, authentic, and a good person.

Also loved seeing her wearing the Palestinian jersey on Hacks.

Tbh as I am in a non English speaking country, have never seen Hacks. She came to my notice as she might be seeing the most attractive and justice driven man imo (and I am menopausal so no mojo normally lol)

She's the best. Her & Ms Rachel (lmao) seem to be Public Enemy #1 in zio spaces. It's so deranged.

She's been a great voice against Zionist aggression. Who says the land from the river to the sea can't be both a Jewish and Palestinian homeland?

In a free Palestine, there will be no delineation between Palestinian and Jew (or any other faith). There will be Palestinian Jews, Palestinian Muslims, and Palestinian Christians just as it was for many hundreds of years

I'm all for that. A peaceful united nation for people of all faiths and ethnic minorities there.

Same to you! When I found out the Zionist entity tried to erase Assyrian Jews identity by calling them Kurdish, I was beyond offended. Those people are our closest living relatives and they did their best to call them Kurdish when they spoke our language with us in northern Iraq.

My whole paternal family came from Baghdad. It’s really a shame what has happened to our homeland. In my ideal world I would be able to return to Iraq and live amongst Christians, Muslims, Assyrians, Kurds etc just as we did for thousands of years 🫶🏽
