Gelman said that in the aftermath of the Oct. 7 attack on Israel by the Gaza-based terrorist organization Hamas, anti-Semitism exploded in Hollywood, and when he began speaking out against Hamas and in support of Israel, he suddenly heard a huge amount of He said he had found a critic. in the entertainment industry.
In an interview with ILTV, Gellman said Hollywood is always ready to hear from “every marginalized group in Hollywood except Jews.”
He added that “propaganda that permeates this country” defines Jews as a “privileged class” and therefore enemies of the common man.
“The anti-Semitism and this propaganda that has permeated this country has permeated the entertainment industry, social justice organizations, universities, and has begun to define race in a very binary way, defining Jews as white. When asked how this new policy came about, Gelman explained: Anti-Semitism quickly became co-opted by Hollywood.
“What I’m saying is, when did it really decide, I think it was really orchestrated by someone who was feeding propaganda into these agencies. So it was very, at times “It was spoken in whispers and sometimes a little loudly, but not for very long,” he added.

“And I think there’s an empathy for Jews where it’s like, oh, we recognize the systemic racism, homophobia, transphobia, misogyny in this industry. ” he continued. “We recognize that these people are not being represented the way they should be. So Jews in the industry became committed to helping with that, but then… What started to happen is that they themselves, it doesn’t include us, they discriminate against us, they call us white people, and surprisingly, the biggest shock is that Islamic jihadists are radicalized by Islamic extremists. We must defend it as a sect.”

He lamented that condemning terrorists makes you a “white supremacist” and said Hollywood is “not thinking things through” when it comes to social issues. “There’s a huge fear of controversy,” he said, lamenting the lack of logical discussion of Hollywood issues.
After all, Gelman says he has lost fans since he started speaking out and standing up for Israel.
“I mean, I’ve definitely lost fans. People will think I’m a supporter of genocide. People will think I’m a white supremacist. People will think I’m a warmonger. I think so,” he said. “I really can’t wait for this war to be over.”
“But the hostages must return, and for that Hamas must stop firing rockets at Israel,” he insisted.
