Hannahc episode of Zeteo’s “Beyond Israelism” podcast was released in full on May 12 and features the “Hacks” Emmy winner calling out Hollywood’s overall silence on the war in Gaza. “It pisses me off. Because I’m sitting here with [Algerian-Palestinian activist] Mahmoud [Khalil], who has so much to risk and who has risked so much who has sacrificed so much… And I look at these people who have absolutely every privilege imaginable to mankind and they cannot utter a single word,” Einbinder said. “I guess it makes me naive, but I cannot understand it.
