Kathryn Grody argues that showing compassion for people in Gaza is aligned with Jewish values and that conflating criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu's policies with antisemitism is incorrect.

“compassion for every person in Gaza, you know, is very Jewish. And the fact that I abhore the policies of the leader of that country does not mean I'm a self-hating Jew or I'm anti-Semitic.”

Mandy Patinkin claims that the policies of Benjamin Netanyahu and his right-wing government are dangerous for the Jewish people and the state of Israel.

“I ask Jews all over the world to consider what this man, Benjamin Netanyahu, and his right-wing government is doing to the Jewish people all over the world. They are endangering not only the state of Israel, which I care deeply about and want to exist, but they are endangering the Jewish population ”
