Einbinder: Career cost lower than silence on Palestine

Actress Hannah Einbinder recently spoke at the Cannes Film Festival, asserting that the repercussions of not speaking out on the issue of Palestine far outweigh the risk of losing her Hollywood career. She highlighted her commitment to joining a tradition of Jewish allies and Palestinian advocates who remain vocal on critical issues, even when others remain silent. Einbinder emphasized that her priorities are straight, stating that her relatively small career could never compare to the value of even one human life, thus making advocacy an obligation.

Einbinder also discussed her role in the new queer slasher drama "Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma," which premiered at Cannes. She described the film as exploring themes of shame and discomfort surrounding sex, and how it represents a liberation from shame and an embrace of desire for queer individuals. She praised her co-star Gillian Anderson, noting Anderson's immersion in the subject matter through her book of anonymous sexual fantasies. Einbinder previously made headlines for her "Fuck ICE, free Palestine and go Birds!" declaration during an Emmy acceptance speech last year.
