After Facing Flak, Stranger Things Fame Noah Schnapp Controversial Sticker Incident Over Israel-Hamas Conflict
Stranger Things fame Noah Schnapp got a lot of bad press last year after a video of him handing out stickers with offensive slogans became popular. Schnapp was giving out stickers in the video that said things like “Hamas is ISIS” and “Zionism is Sexy.” Netizens were so angry at the 19-year-old star’s acts that they told producers to fire the Stranger Things actor.
But the 19-year-old star finally talked about how he felt about the war between Israel and Hamas.
Noah Schnapp speaks out following the call to boycott the Stranger Things star
Schnapp made a TikTok video on Monday night in which he said he wanted to take some time “to talk about everything that’s been going on online.” He also said, “I feel like my beliefs and thoughts have been twisted so far from anything even close to what I believe, and I just wanted to say how I feel from the bottom of my heart.” I only want everyone innocent and affected by this war to be safe and at peace.
The star of “Bridge of Spies” said that he had learned more about the war between Israel and Hamas by talking about it with his friends. “I’ve learned a lot from having many honest conversations with friends who are Palestinian. I think those are very important conversations to have,” he said.
Schnapp went on, “One thing I’ve learned is that we all want the same things: for the innocent people still being held hostage in Gaza to be freed and returned to their families, and for the killing of innocent people in Palestine to stop. So many of those people are women and children, and it’s horrible to see.”
The Star said “Want to stop the fight from both sides”
“I think everyone who cares about people would want the fighting to stop on both sides.” “I am against killing anyone who isn’t guilty,” he said. “And I just hope that one day those two groups will be able to live together peacefully in that area.”
“And I hope that 2024 online will show people a little more compassion and understanding and that they see that we’re all human, no matter our race, ethnicity, background, country of birth, or even our sexuality,” Schnapp said.
“We should all love each other because we’re human and the same. We should stand together and help each other.” “And stand together for peace and humanity,” he said.
