The creator of the Netflix series "Nobody Wants This," Erin Foster, has expressed disagreement with the show's star, Adam Brody, over his comments on Israel. In a recent interview, Brody accused Israel of "genocide" and expressed support for a "free Palestine." Foster, however, emphasized that differing opinions are acceptable, saying "while I love Adam, I also disagree with him and that's OK."
Foster stated that the show's set is a place where people can have open and respectful discussions, and that she wants her Jewish fans to know that she sees and hears their concerns. She noted that the show is intended to be a love letter to Judaism, and that she wants to provide positive representation of Jewish people in the media.
Brody's comments on Israel have been criticized by some in the Jewish community, with Mor Greenberg, founder of MorMedia Group, saying that it is "disappointing" to see a leading actor make comments that are "deeply upsetting" to many Jews. Greenberg praised Foster's response, saying that she understands that Jewish identity is bigger than Hollywood politics.
The full episode of the podcast interview with Foster is set to air on October 27.
