Noah Schnapp is under Fire after Liking a Video Mocking Muslims

September 1, 2024

Stranger Things star Noah Schnapp has found himself in the midst of controversy yet again. This time, the actor faced criticism after his recent Instagram activity, where he liked a video that made fun of the Muslim and LGBTQ+ communities. This incident has sparked a significant backlash on social media once more.

Last month, Schnapp made the headlines when he released a statement in which he addressed the Israel-Palestine conflict. In his statement, the actor declared his support for Israel and criticized his followers for endorsing Hamas attacks. Following this statement, Schnapp faced significant public backlash, with many accusing him of hypocrisy. Since then, the actor has seen a loss of approximately 550,000 followers on Instagram.

Now Noah Schnapp has once again ignited controversy after he liked a video on Instagram. The video was from the Israeli satire TV show “What a Wonderful Country” which was not only Islamophobic but also homophobic. It mocked the pro-Palestine protests that are happening in the USA.

The video featured a fake YouTube news show where the presenters said that ‘everyone is welcome, LGBTQH…’ with the H standing for Hamas. After chanting: ‘From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free,’ they interviewed a freedom fighter in Gaza. The post shared by Noa Tishby has received more than 60,000 likes as of now.
