Part 4/11:
A significant portion of the discussion revolved around actors and celebrities using their platform to endorse causes, often clumsily and insensitively. Of particular concern was Hannah Einbinder’s speech, where she loudly declared “Free Palestine,” an act considered controversial, especially given her Jewish heritage and the ongoing Hamas violence. Kinsey’s sharp critique pointed out how these messages are being co-opted by terrorist organizations like Hamas, which circulates such clips to influence public opinion. Her critique extended to other celebrities, including Megan Stalter (wearing a ceasefire pin and taped signs), and Megan Markle, whose support of causes like Hamas drew accusations of naivety or deliberate provocation.
