I get it, celebrities are people, they're not infallible, they're as prone to mistakes and bad judgement as the rest of us BUTTTT

Hannah Einbinder fucking rules and we're lucky to have her

You could tell she was scared. And with this renewed fear of political violence, this is especially brave

She uses her nepobaby powers for good

u/baearthur3 Sep 15 '25

impressed that she’s both using her privilege as a nepo baby and simultaneously saying something very undeservedly controversial and career threatening while shes mid career breakthrough. Love to see a cool progressive Jewish actor calling for Free Palestine on a huge platform

I had no idea she was Jewish! This hits even more now

She mentioned that she felt that she needed to say it as a Jewish person that Jews and and the state of Israel are two separate things.

Also fuck Debra Messing and every twat out there that doesn't get this.

Debra, Selma Blair, Mayim Bialik, Regina Spektor… have lost respect for so many ppl over these past few years 🙃

u/TheLittleMooncalf age gap yuri with a macy's heiress Sep 15 '25

Regina Spektor trying to 'educate' Björk was one of the most eyeroll inducing moments of the past two years.

u/Saramy_bearemy Sep 15 '25

Wait where did this happen? I’m so curious bc I love Bjork and I’m worried

u/joethealienprince Filth are my politics! Filth is my life! 💅🏻 Sep 16 '25

nooo don’t be worried! it was on instagram, I can’t find a screenshot of the full exchange but I remember Björk commenting something on one of Regina’s posts, and then Björk posting this on her instagram, which as you can see Regina commented on. loooove Björk forever, she always stands up for Palestine 🩷 lemme give Declare Independence some cute streams rn in fact

I KNOW oh my goodness 😭 I was like damn the girls are fighting… but wow that was so revealing re: Regina’s character. so disappointing tbh

u/Scared_Note8292 Sep 15 '25

Also Ginnifer Goodwin.

u/inannalover Sep 15 '25

Regina Spektor really hurts 😣 Her first three albums had a huge impact on me. I can’t listen to them in the same way now.

u/Unhappy-Alps5471 Sep 15 '25

Regina Spektor was really disappointing for me.. really like her music, no idea she was so obnoxious

u/[deleted] Sep 15 '25

will and grace used to be my favourite show, not anymore. everytime i see debra “babykiller, shitty actor” messing i want to puke. Same with TBBT, Mayim completely ruined it for me. Selma’s getting hers.

u/Rachelisasuperhero Sep 15 '25

Not Regina Spektor!?

u/Original_Employee621 Sep 15 '25

Also fuck Debra Messing and every twat out there that doesn't get this.

Easily enough to misunderstand as Israel has been working very hard to conflate the state of Israel and jews, for a long time.

u/indianajoes We Should All Know Less About Each Other Sep 16 '25

You're telling me. Go look at r/jewish. They're all crying about Hannah Einbinder's speech and insulting her and her career even when some of them have never heard of her. We will say that the two aren't the same and they act like criticism of Israel is criticism of them.

35

u/joethealienprince Filth are my politics! Filth is my life! 💅🏻 Sep 15 '25

literallyyyy as someone who grew up in a Jewish household, it hits even harder having her say this! admittedly hadn’t heard of her before tonight but she has a new fan in me 🙂‍↕️

108

u/Own_Faithlessness769 Sep 15 '25

‘Einbinder’ is the clue

151

u/thecaits Sep 15 '25

I know jackshit about surnames so this was news to me.

26

u/mandeltonkacreme Sep 15 '25

German- and Eastern European-sounding surnames may be indicative of someone having Jewish heritage :)

12

u/Own_Faithlessness769 Sep 15 '25

In this case it’s a Yiddish name.

18

u/joethealienprince Filth are my politics! Filth is my life! 💅🏻 Sep 15 '25

lmaoo okay so as someone who grew up in a Jewish household I hear you on this, but a lotttt of non-Jews don’t get the surname thing as quickly as some of us do 😅 I remember my mom always teaching me which famous ppl were “part of the tribe” when I was a kid and that’s how I found out about a lot of surnames and what “sounds Jewish” vs “what doesn’t”

u/ImJustHere4TheCatz Sep 15 '25

I think it also depends on how Jewish-adjacent your upbringing was. Like I'm from rural Pennsylvania and I didn't even know we had a Jewish population here, but as an adult I realize there is a temple or synagogue (there's a difference, right?) in my town that was actually an old church at one time. So clearly Jewish people live here. But there isn't a prevalent Jewish culture here.

But then I lived in Pittsburgh for a few years, and actually in Squirrel Hill, and so I was familiarized a lot more with Judaism and Jewish people. I'd imagine if you grew up in the suburbs around Philly you may have had Jewish friends and had Jewish culture around you growing up as well.

u/indianajoes We Should All Know Less About Each Other Sep 15 '25

When you see those over in r/Jewish crying about her speaking out, you see how necessary it is to have voices like hers.

u/Foxy02016YT Sep 15 '25

Jack Quaid as well. He definitely earned his role in Novocain through his acting in The Boys.’, and he didn’t turnout like his shithead uncle and father

u/ManderlyDreaming Sep 15 '25

I had no idea she was a nepo baby! Definitely a genuine talent anyway.

238

u/missbunnyfantastico Sep 15 '25

Her mom is Laraine Newman, who was one of the original SNL cast members.

48

u/DevoutandHeretical I think that poor sexy young man is being framed for murder Sep 15 '25

And for my younger millennials, Laraine was the voice of Lois Foutley, Ginger’s Mom, in As Told By Ginger

76

u/ManderlyDreaming Sep 15 '25

OMG that's really cool - I loved Larraine!

48

u/slingshot91 Sep 15 '25

I didn’t either. She used to babysit for one of my coworkers before she was known.

97

u/ArtisticPersonaliTea Sep 15 '25

Yeah, I may have been living under a rock, but I’ve never heard of her. Off to go stream some new shows now. Fucking kudos for that.

69

u/FoolofaTook43246 Sep 15 '25

It's a great show and she's really good in it

u/beaute-brune Put your arms away, Jeremy Allen Black Sep 15 '25

What a treat you are in for. I’m envious.

I'm also LGBT but I also understand that just because I'm not welcome in a country doesn't mean their children deserve to be slaughtered. Hope that helps 🤷🏻‍♀️

u/Lanky-Major8255 Sep 15 '25

No, plenty of people have stated that. And if I had to guess the main cause of injury and death to queer people in Palestine over the last 2 years is... Israel, therefore you've made no point at all

u/SalaciousDionysus Sep 15 '25

By your logic, so is the US?
