'Stranger Things' actor Noah Schnapp faces backlash for liking controversial post mocking Muslims and Palestine supporters

Noah Schnapp was dubbed 'vile' and 'gross' after he apparently liked a post, which contained a video mocking Muslims and pro-Palestinians

LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Noah Schnapp, who has been clear on his pro-Israel stance since the beginning of the Israel-Hamas war, faced backlash after he released his statement about the escalating conflict. 

The 19-year-old 'Stranger Things' is under fire once again, this time for apparently liking a video on Instagram that mocked Muslims and pro-Palestine supporters, as well as the queer community, as per Metro. 

Which post did Noah Schnapp like?

The controversial post that Noah Schnapp liked was made by Noa Tishby, author of 'Israel, A Simple Guide,' on November 5.

It is a satirical video, showing a fake YouTube news show where the presenters stated that "everyone is welcome, LGBTQH," with the H standing for Hamas.

They chanted, "From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free," following which they "interviewed" a "freedom fighter" supposedly in Gaza, going on to describe their clothes as "oppression chic" and mockingly calling Palestine "so welcoming and inclusive."

Tishby's caption read, "A huge part of our Jewish culture is using humor to deal with trauma. It helps with the pain. Please enjoy these pro-Hamas college students on their journey to normalize a massacre. Sigh. Aired tonight on the Israeli satire TV show 'What a Wonderful Country'."

Internet slams Noah Schnapp for liking the controversial post

Soon after netizens came to know about Noah Schnapp liking the offensive post, they flocked to call out the actor for his supposed insensitive actions. 

On a Reddit thread, one said, "Vile. Absolutely vile," as another wrote, "What a dumb, gross move. Plus the kindest thing I can say about that video is that it’s painfully unfunny." 

"He is absolutely disgusting and I will never, ever watch or support anything he’s in," fumed a person.  

Another expressed, "It's f**king insane to me that he can do this stuff and face no repercussions while others are being fired for publicly supporting Palestine." 

Similar feelings were shared by users on X (formerly Twitter), as a user stated, "Rewriting Noah Schnapp's stranger things season 5 script so Will's story ends with him being eaten by a demogorgon and being forgotten forever 😇😇😇😇." 

"he is just such an absolute horrible person. take this boy’s career," jibed another, while one said, "we make the wrong people famous."
