Hannah Einbinder ‘Expanded’ on Her Emmys Speech Post-Show
Hannah Einbinder later expanded on her comments after accepting the award.
Following the speech, Einbinder expanded on the sentiments behind her speech, explaining the meaning behind her words.
“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 told the press backstage, according to The Wrap.
The Hacks actress said she felt it was “important to talk about Palestine, because it’s an issue that’s very dear to my heart.”
Hannah Einbinder Has Friends Working on Gaza Frontline
Hannah Einbinder revealed she has friends who are frontline workers in Gaza.
“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,” she shared.
In addition, she clarified her pledge to Film Workers for Palestine, which was signed by 8,000 other Hollywood talents vowing to boycott Israeli film festivals, cinemas, broadcasters and production amid the Middle Eastern country's military campaign in Gaza.
“Like many movements, boycotting is an effective tool to create pressure on the powers that be to meet the moment,” Einbinder explained of her decision.
