At the Anti-Defamation League’s “Never Is Now” conference, actor David Schwimmer called out celebrities for not speaking out against hate speech and antisemitism. Schwimmer expressed disappointment in fellow entertainers who have chosen to remain silent, despite their platforms. He urged them to stand up and speak out, emphasizing the importance of showing solidarity with the Jewish community.
Schwimmer specifically called out Hollywood actors who have not addressed the rise of antisemitism since October 7. He emphasized that speaking out does not mean solving the conflict in the Middle East but simply expressing support for Jewish friends, colleagues, and neighbors.
This is not the first time Schwimmer has spoken out against antisemitism. Last year, he drew attention to the surge of antisemitism on college campuses in an Instagram post. He highlighted the harassment, intimidation, and violence faced by Jewish students, calling for immediate outrage and action if it were any other minority group experiencing similar attacks.
In recognition of his advocacy against hate, Schwimmer presented the inaugural “Heroes Against Hate” award to over 30 influential voices at the ADL event. His efforts to raise awareness about antisemitism and hate speech reflect his commitment to standing up for the Jewish community and promoting solidarity in the face of discrimination.
