Nobody Wants This creator Erin Foster has responded to Adam Brody\u2019s recent comments calling for a free Palestine and criticising Israel. Now, she\u2019s facing criticism for her take on the matter. <\/span><\/p>\n

Last month, Brody – who plays Noah Roklov alongside Kristen Bell as Joanne Williams<\/a> in the Netflix show – spoke with <\/span>GQ<\/span><\/a> about his political advocacy work. <\/span><\/p>\n

When the topic of Israel-Gaza came up, the actor said it\u2019s something he\u2019s \u201cspoken a lot\u201d about privately, before making his public stance clear. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cPut me down as thinking it’s a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine. 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,\u201d he said.  <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI’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.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Despite being the lead in her show, Foster has now said she doesn\u2019t agree with him. <\/span><\/p>\n

In an upcoming episode of the Not Skinny But Not Fat podcast, reported by <\/span>Entertainment Weekly<\/span><\/a>, she was asked how she feels about Brody\u2019s comments being critical of Israel. <\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cYou know, it\u2019s complicated,\u201d Foster replied. \u201cI think our work environment, our set is very similar to dinner tables around the world where people are having debate and discussion and disagreeing.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cWhile I love Adam, I also disagree with him. And that\u2019s okay,\u201d she continued. <\/span><\/p>\n

For the uninitiated, Foster converted to Judaism before marrying music executive Simon Tikhman. This is partly what inspired the story behind Nobody Wants This<\/a>, season 3 of which landed on Netflix<\/a> this week. <\/span><\/p>\n

Elaborating on this, she explained, \u201cI think that as the creator of the show, all I can say is that I want our Jewish fans to know that I see you and I hear you and I understand how you feel. And the show has always been and always will be a love letter to Judaism.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat is why I made this show. It\u2019s because of how beautiful of an experience I\u2019ve had becoming Jewish and being a Jewish person, and sitting here right now at this time in the world where there is almost zero positive representation of Jewish people, I think it\u2019s so important to have that.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThat being said, everyone is entitled to a different opinion than me. I can just tell you what I created this show for, what the intention of the show is.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Foster is now facing criticism for her response, particularly for shifting the conversation towards Jewish identity and representation when Brody’s original comments were about Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza and Palestinian freedom.<\/span><\/p>\n

Someone supporting Palestine does not mean that they are antisemitic. I\u2019m so tired of people conflating the idea of Jewish people and the state of Israel. They are not the same thing<\/p>\n
