Pro-Israeli comedian and actor Michael Rapaport on Monday claimed he was struggling to find acting work for his outspoken support for Israel.
Despite reportedly missing out on the Hollywood opportunity due to Israel's advocacy, Rapaport said in an interview with I24 News that he “has no regrets.”
When asked if he had ever been threatened to his support for his shamefulness towards Israel; Rappaport said He is “always a threat,” but new concerns are arousing for him.

“I feel like I'm always feeling a threat. Even if it's about politics, I'm always threatening on social media. They don't concern me. I'm not protesting. It doesn't concern me.
Despite the recent difficulties his advocacy has brought to his career, Rapaport said he felt “there was no choice.”
“But I have a bit of regret. I am not. I had no choice. Being supporter of Jews, supporting Israel, supporting our people was not very natural and organic to me,” he said.

Rapaport also revealed that there are many people who work in “show business” where he lost his respect during this period of political conflict over the Israeli-Hamas conflict.
“There are so many people I respect, many people who present themselves as empathetic. There are so many who are sympathetic, secular, caring… They are totally full of s,” he said.
Rapaport became particularly open about his support for Israel and the Jews after the attack on October 7th, but what inspired him most was the tear-up of a hostage poster of New York City hostages.
“What I see most, the thing that resonates with me most is the rips in the poster. And I know that it won't hurt anyone, but it hurts my soul,” Rapaport said.
