Story summary

Rabbi Steve Leder, who served as a technical advisor for Season 1 of Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," criticized actor Adam Brody over comments made to GQ regarding Israel’s attack on Gaza. In a social media video, Rabbi Leder called Brody an “ignorant Jew” and accused him of misusing the term genocide, stating that there is no genocide in Gaza. The rabbi reminded Brody of his role as a consultant for the show where he ensured authenticity related to Judaism and stressed the importance of understanding the word's significance before using it. Rabbi Leder emphasized that while genocides occur elsewhere, Brody failed to mention them and used the term flippantly, which Leder found particularly disappointing given Brody’s Jewish background.
