David Schwimmer Urges Hollywood to Address Antisemitism Silence

At the recent Anti-Defamation League’s 'Never Is Now' conference, actor David Schwimmer criticized fellow celebrities for their silence on rising antisemitism, urging them to use their platforms to voice support for the Jewish community. Schwimmer expressed disappointment that many respected figures in entertainment, some of whom have Jewish identities, have chosen to remain quiet, stating that their public support could significantly impact their fans and communities. He emphasized that while not everyone must address the Middle East conflict, standing against hatred and supporting Jewish friends and colleagues is crucial. Alongside Schwimmer, actress Gal Gadot also spoke out, highlighting the urgent need for action against antisemitism and calling for the release of hostages held in Gaza. The discourse comes amid a concerning rise in antisemitism, prompting various Hollywood personalities to advocate for change and solidarity. This collective response marks a notable shift as more stars are choosing to address these pressing societal issues publicly.
