00:00 Amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and Palestine, many social media influencers and
00:05 celebrities are using their platforms to speak up. Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp posted this
00:11 statement to his Instagram account regarding the backlash received for honoring a victim of the
00:16 Hamas attacks. "We will say a Jewish prayer for peace for all Israelis and Palestinians.
00:21 A reminder that we, the Jewish people, with our love for each other and others,
00:25 are stronger than your hatred. We are strong. We are compassionate."
00:29 Model and influencer Gigi Hadid took to Instagram to share a statement as well, writing,
00:34 "While I have hopes and dreams for Palestinians, none of them include the harm of a Jewish person.
00:40 The terrorizing of innocent people is not in alignment with and does not do any good for
00:45 the Free Palestine Movement. The idea that it does has fueled a painful, decades-long
00:50 cycle of back-and-forth retaliation."
