Good thing no one cares what she has to say…
“Hacks” actress Hannah Einbinder is facing backlash after using her Emmy acceptance speech to deliver a crude political message, declaring: “F—k ICE and free Palestine.”
The 30-year-old, who won Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series for the HBO hit, ended her emotional remarks Sunday night with the line: “Go Birds, f—k ICE and free Palestine.” Einbinder, who is Jewish and a lifelong Philadelphia Eagles fan, left the stage to cheers as the moment went viral.
The comments drew swift condemnation online.
“Any Jewish actress who uses her 15 minutes of fame to show support for the terrorists holding 48 hostages in Gaza has no moral compass,” Joel Petlin wrote on X. “And the naive Hollywood audience that applauded her immoral statement is equally reprehensible. Hannah Einbinder was a real loser at the Emmys.”
Others blasted the speech as another example of Hollywood stars hijacking awards shows with political posturing.
Einbinder later defended her remarks, telling The Wrap: “I feel like it is my obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the State of Israel, because our religion and our culture are such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethno-nationalist state.”

I loved #Hacks, but I’m canceling my @HBO @hbomax subscription immediately after @HannahEinbinder reckless remarks. Disappointing to see talent overshadowed by carelessness. Her castmates should be disappointed to see the politicization of their show. https://t.co/2HyQRqLTKN

Talk to your kids –
You don't date women like Hannah Einbinder. You don't marry women like Hannah Einbinder.
Your kids deserve better than someone who hates the rule of law in America and supports terrorists.https://t.co/IkyvSnF8LO
