Tovah Feldshuh has criticised Adam Brody’s description of Israel’s actions as genocide, saying it turns Jewish victims into perpetrators. Her comments add to a public disagreement among people connected to Netflix’s *Nobody Wants This* over Brody’s support for a free Palestine and criticism of Israeli military policy.

Brody said he considers the situation a genocide and wants a free Palestine, citing the death and misery and calling for policy changes. Series creator Erin Foster said she disagrees with him but accepts differing opinions; she said the show was made as a “love letter to Judaism” and aims to help Jewish viewers feel seen and heard.
