'Stranger Things' Star Noah Schnapp is Getting Canceled

Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp is once again facing cancellation calls after he was seen posing with stickers reading "Zionism is Sexy."

The Jewish-American actor was filmed by friends sitting in a cafe as they showed off the stickers while laughing and joking. They were also holding stickers which read "Hamas is Isis."

Schnapp was seen in the video filming the people with the stickers and also holding up one that read "Zionism is Sexy."

People rushed to X, formerly Twitter to condemn the actor's actions and the alleged punishment of other celebrities who speak out in favor of Palestine. The topic has become much more heated recently after the military arm of the Palestinian group Hamas stormed southern Israel, which led to the deaths of more than 1,200 people and then kidnapped more than 200, according to Reuters.

That action lead to an unceasing military response by Israel on Gaza, including airstrikes and ground forces entering the Palestinian-controlled area. Since October 7, Israeli forces have killed more than 11,000 people in Gaza, as per Reuters.

"The way someone like bella hadid gets fired for showing support to palestine while noah schnapp is openly supporting and calling a genocide 'sexy' without consequences is literally filling me with sm rage," wrote one person.

Another added: "Noah Schnapp having stickers saying 'Zionism is Sexy' and 'Hamas is ISIS'. This man is a white American who has never been affected by oppression. 'Zionism is sexy' so the oppression and murder of Palestinians satisfies you? Alright"

A third wrote: "Noah schnapp can sit in fancy cafes with his friends, be pro-genocide & islamophobic openly but still talk about 'being scared as a jew' while people are getting called terorrists & get arrested over just saying free palestine."

A fourth comment read: "the levels of evil this is. having all those resources to learn about the occupation, thousands of people literally pointing him to that direction, and this is what he answers with. f*** noah schnapp i hope his career dies."

Newsweek contacted Schnapp's representatives by email for comment.

Zionism refers to the Jewish nationalist movement formed in 1897 which moved to create state for Jewish people in Palestine. This eventually led to the formation of Israel in 1948, following the Holocaust that saw more than 6 million Jewish people die.

However, some critics of Zionism have argued the creation of Israel forced Palestinians off their land in what is called the Nakba.

Celebrities have been urged to use their huge social media presence carefully.

"Those with a platform have a moral obligation to not only shed light on the current genocide unfolding in Gaza but also contextualize over 75 years of settler colonial violence and the 16 years of total blockade that has been violently imposed on Gaza by land, air and sea," Jeanine of the Palestinian Youth Movement previously told Newsweek. "What this means is that nothing can enter Gaza without Israel's permission, whether it's food, medical supplies, sanitary products or school books."

It is not the first time Schnapp has been criticized for his views on the Israel-Hamas war.

He was called out for allegedly liking a post on Instagram by Noa Tishby showing an Israeli TV satire show featuring a sketch called "Columbia Untisemity."

The video takes aim at the support for Palestinians on U.S. college campuses, and features an individual saying that their platform is open to "LGBTQH" individuals—with the "H" standing for Hamas.

Tishby is an Israeli actress, writer, producer, and activist who describes herself on Instagram as "former Special Envoy for Combating Antisemitism. Author of the NYT best selling book: Israel A Simple Guide."

Schnapp also shared a statement about his stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict wanting "peace for both Palestinians and Israelis."

"Let's stop the rhetoric and choosing sides. Instead we must recognize that we are all on the side of the fight against terrorism. Choose humanity over violence," he wrote on Instagram in October.
