ALBAWABA - Stranger Things's Brett Gelman is the talk of social media after appearing in an interview with TMZ and saying that his co-star Noah Schnapp didn't need to apologize to fans amid his zionist stance about the ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza causing uproar and controversy. 

Brett said in the video "I saw nothing wrong. He held up a sticker saying ‘Zionism is sexy’… Zionism is the belief that Israel should exist, and that’s sexy to me too." 

This drama unfolded after Noah Schnapp took to social media platforms to apologize via TikTok for his comments on the matter. An Instagram post by him which was later deleted said that "As a Jewish American, he was afraid for his brothers and sisters in Israel who were attacked by Hamas" and added that he "wants peace for both Palestinians and Israelis."

According to TMZ, Brett went on to add that he actually liked the "Zionism is sexy" video of Noah Schnapp and agreed with Noah that Hamas is a terrorist organization.  Gelman also added that whoever isn't pro-Israel is being "antisemitic" and that "Hamas uses Palestinians as human shields" as he visited the country recently.
