The notably private O.C. actor says he wasn't intentionally keeping quiet about his views on the conflict in Gaza.

Nobody Wants This star Adam Brody is for a free Palestine, now that you ask

Adam Brody, who stars in the Netflix series Nobody Wants This as rabbi Noah Roklov, has come out in support of a "free Palestine," according to a recent interview with GQ. The actor, who is known for his privacy and generally avoids speaking on political matters, now feels compelled to express his stance due to the mounting international outrage over Israel's actions against Palestinians.

Brody stated unequivocally, "Put me down as thinking it's a genocide. Put me down as wanting a free Palestine. It's awful that it's taken so much death and misery, but it feels like it's reached a breaking point that it should have happened sooner." As a longtime Democrat and voting rights advocate, Brody admits that he doesn't typically discuss his politics in his public appearances, but the issue often comes up "a lot" in his private life.

He defended his decision to remain silent on social media, stating that being off social media has been the healthiest thing for him, despite his reservations about certain products and companies.
