Noah Schnapp, recognized for his role in “Stranger Things,” aims to clarify his stance on the Israel-Hamas conflict following a controversial video that surfaced in November. In the video, Schnapp and friends were seen holding stickers with phrases like “Zionism is Sexy” and “Hamas is ISIS,” leading to criticism.
In a recent TikTok video addressing his 32 million followers, Schnapp explained that his thoughts were “misconstrued.” He expressed a strong desire for peace, stating his opposition to the killing of innocent people. Schnapp mentioned learning from conversations with Palestinian friends.
Looking directly at the camera, the 19-year-old actor stated that anyone with humanity would hope for an end to hostilities on both sides. The initial video drew criticism, with accusations of insensitivity, especially from public figures like Lauren Jauregui and John Cusack.
Schnapp, primarily recognized for playing Will Byers in the Netflix series, expressed that he had learned a lot from conversations with friends of Palestinian background. He emphasized a common desire for the safe return of those held in Gaza and an end to the loss of innocent lives in Palestine.
However, some critics argue that Schnapp’s apology and change of stance might be influenced by the upcoming release of a new season of “Stranger Things” on Netflix, suggesting he may be seeking to generate views and interest in the series.
The entire world knows that Schnapp is doing this because the series he is involved in is returning to Netflix with a new season, and he needs to do some damage control to regain the fans’ trust. However, it might be challenging as he appears to have damaged his career by aligning with the wrong side.
