Rabbi Steve Leder, a technical advisor behind Netflix's "Nobody Wants This," called out the series star Adam Brody on Tuesday for saying he believes Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza. "Hi Adam, you might not remember me.

My name is Rabbi Steve Leder, and I was the technical advisor for Season 1 of 'Nobody Wants This,'" Leder began in an Instagram video to the actor. "My job was to make sure that your character was authentic and that everything in Season 1 about Judaism was authentic." Leder criticized Brody and called his comments "ignorant," arguing that Brody had mischaracterized the situation in Gaza and treated the issue flippantly.

"Your pronouncement the other day about a ‘genocide in Gaza’ was truly shocking. Not only because of your misuse and mischaracterization of your use of the word genocide — there is no genocide in Gaza, there are genocides in other countries happening, but you failed to mention any of them.

You, by your own admission, are a relatively ignorant Jew, and your ignorance really showed the other day," Leder said. BILL MAHER RIPS MACKLEMORE'S GAZA STANCE, SAYS CELEBRITY 'MORAL CONFUSION' IS FUELING ANTISEMITISM "If you’re going to use a word like ‘genocide,’ you ought to know what it means," he added. "And by the way, being so flippant about a word like ‘genocide’ — ‘Hey, put me down for genocide,’ like you’re asking for a table for two at Craig’s — is disgusting. Here’s some more technical advice: If you know nothing about something, you should say nothing about it." Brody, who plays a rabbi in the series, recently suggested in an interview with GQ magazine that Israel is committing "genocide" in Gaza. "Put me down as thinking it's a genocide," Brody said.

"Put me down as wanting a free Palestine. It's awful that it's taken so much death and misery, but it does feel like it's reaching a breaking point that it should have a while ago. I'm hopeful that another administration can really do some good and correct some of these policies that are helping that situation be as awful as it is." Fox News Digital reached out to Brody's representatives for comment but did not immediately receive a response.

RABBINIC GROUP ACCUSES JEWISH ENTERTAINERS OF 'WHITEWASHING ANTISEMITISM' IN MARK RUFFALO DEFENSE In a comment to Fox News Digital, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, executive vice president of the Coalition for Jewish Values, also called out Brody as "ignorant" for calling Israel's actions in Gaza "genocide." "One of the hallmarks of antisemitism is to irrationally regard Jews as a threat. While Hamas was holding, torturing, raping, and murdering hostages, only a bigot would call the effort to free those hostages ‘genocide.’An ignorant Jew is no less likely than anyone else to fall prey to hateful indoctrination," Menken said.

"As even photographer Motaz Azaiza now admits, Hamas could have ended the conflict in Gaza at any moment, simply by releasing the hostages," he added. "In no genocide in history have the victims controlled the off switch. On roughly a daily basis, a prominent Jewish leftist goes on X (formerly Twitter) to say ‘As a Jew’ and then follow it by expressing antisemitic nonsense."

MS RACHEL CONFRONTED ON ACCUSING ISRAEL OF 'GENOCIDE' IN PARK INTERACTION WITH PODCASTER In another comment from the Israeli-American Council (IAC), the organization expressed "revulsion at the ignorant and harmful statement" made by Brody.

"Lies like this are not just fake news, they incite violence that can lead to the murder of innocent Jews. Just today, Israeli passengers narrowly escaped death from what is being called an attempted terrorist attack on a flight from Dubai to Tel Aviv. That's the reality Israelis and Jews live with every day," the organization said.
