Back in 2023, Noah Schnapp was slammed for his stance on the Israel-Palestine conflict. The situation escalated when he was seen promoting stickers that contained controversial phrases like “Zionism is Sexy”. Many felt his actions were insensitive, especially given the humanitarian crisis in the region/

Since then, the actor has become the victim of cancel culture. Some fans even petitioned for him to be replaced in the final season of Stranger Things, while others have called for a boycott of Season 5. After the backlash, Schanpp lost more than 3 million followers on Instagram.

Eventually, the actor broke his silence on the controversy, stating that his statement had been misinterpreted. He advocated peace for all people affected by the conflict.
