Glitz, glamor, red carpets… and Palestine.
At last night’s @TheEmmys, some celebs couldn’t resist hijacking the spotlight with anti-Israel stunts.
From Javier Bardem’s keffiyeh show to “Free Palestine” shout-outs, here’s a roundup of the worst. 🧵

The “biggest attention seeker” award? Javier Bardem. He wore a keffiyeh, accused Israel of “genocide,” and cited that dodgy “genocide scholars” group where anyone can join for $30. Real scholarly, Javier. 🙄

Bardem also told @Variety he “cannot work with anyone who justifies or supports the genocide.” Translation: no Israelis. No Jews who support Israel. That’s not activism—it’s straight-up cultural boycott & discrimination.

Actress Hannah Einbinder won Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy. A Jewish actress herself, she used her Emmy stage to curse U.S. immigration officials and shout “Free Palestine!” Determined to cover every trendy cause in one go.

Einbinder and others wore the red-hand pin. Media outlets like the @nytimes spin it as a “ceasefire” symbol. Israelis know better: it’s a not-so-subtle nod to the lynching of IDF soldiers in Ramallah 25 years ago, where murderers posed with bloodied hands.

Bottom line: Last night’s Emmys weren’t just about TV. They became another platform for celebrities to virtue-signal with anti-Israel rhetoric – cheap applause lines that come at the expense of truth & Jewish lives.
