Hollywood’s relentless echo chamber was on full display as Hannah Einbinder, star of “Hacks,” used her first-ever Emmy acceptance speech to push a “Free Palestine” message—a move as divisive as it was predictable. In prime time before millions, Einbinder chose radical posturing over celebrating her craft, denouncing ICE and parroting anti-Israel slogans, all while sidestepping the realities of Hamas terror and Israel’s right to defend itself. The entertainment industry once again reveals itself as tone-deaf to the dangers facing our ally, preferring to virtue-signal for trendy causes over addressing real threats.
The hypocrisy couldn’t be sharper. Hollywood elites pontificate on “human rights” while supporting positions that undermine the only democracy in the Middle East. Einbinder’s commentary ignored innocent Israeli victims and the hostages in Gaza, focusing only on promoting anti-American and anti-Israel sentiment. Many in the Jewish community and fellow actors rightly condemned her speech as ignorant and inflammatory, calling out the selective outrage: performative concern for Palestinians, but silence on terrorism and antisemitism.

Award shows like the Emmys have devolved into soapboxes for celebrities to lecture ordinary Americans about issues they barely understand. Einbinder, along with other left-leaning performers, was joined by actors flaunting “ceasefire” slogans and denouncing Israeli companies—all without acknowledging the actual violence orchestrated by Hamas. These displays show a clear disconnect from the values and concerns of regular citizens, confirming yet again that the industry is more interested in making headlines than seeking principled solutions.
It’s telling that, in her moment of supposed courage, Einbinder offered zero respect to millions who support America’s alliances or mourn the victims of radical violence. Her rhetoric wasn’t about fostering dialogue—it was about pushing an agenda that divides and dismisses half the nation’s concerns. The ostentatious self-righteousness is familiar: Hollywood will always rush to shame America and its allies, rarely missing an opportunity to blame those defending liberty and stability.
Americans have endured enough lectures from entertainers with little appreciation for our core values. The Emmys are now less about achievement in entertainment and more about providing megaphones for ideological grandstanding. It’s time to challenge this narrative and demand that celebrities focus on the work they do—not on promoting misguided agendas that ignore reality and erode American unity. Hollywood should take note: the people are watching, but they’re not impressed.
