'Stranger Things' actor Brett Gelman blasted schools for not cracking down on the anti-Israel protests sweeping college campuses across the nation.
'Stranger Things' actor Brett Gelman criticized university leaders for allowing anti-Israel protests and encampments to take over their college campuses, arguing that the demonstrators received special treatment. The Jewish actor and comedian, best known for playing the character of Murray Bauman in the Netflix series, said he believed students' freedom of speech should be protected but hate speech and violence should not be tolerated. 'They should be expelled.
'm not a conspiracy theorist, but it seems very strangely coordinated, to a degree. So it's not just about passions about injustices. It's a coordinated movement that we've seen before,' Gelman said. 'It's really just a repeat of the 1930s, not allowing Jewish students at universities,' he continued.
Gelman's 'Stranger Things' co-star Noah Schnapp has also received backlash for his outspoken defense of Israel in its war against Hamas. In November, he received hate online for posing with stickers that said, 'Zionism is Sexy' and 'Hamas is Isis.' Earlier this year, Schnapp told his followers that critics have 'misconstrued' his beliefs and that he only wishes for peace, safety and security 'for all innocent people affected by this conflict.
