Although his current religious practice isn\u2019t widely known, he held his Bar Mitzvah ceremony in Israel, indicating a connection to his Jewish roots.<\/p>\n<p>Amid escalating tensions in the region, Schnapp shared a lengthy Instagram post condemning the violence and criticizing activists for what he perceived as a lack of vocal condemnation. However, his recent appearance among a group of Israel supporters distributing stickers with the phrase \u201cZionism is sexy\u201d sparked controversy and backlash on social media platforms.<\/p>\n<p>His support for Zionism, which champions Israel\u2019s legitimacy as a state, particularly under the Netanyahu government\u2019s actions in Gaza, led to swift criticism and attempts to \u201ccancel\u201d Schnapp online. Some social media users expressed strong disapproval, with some going as far as petitioning Netflix to recast Schnapp\u2019s character in \u201cStranger Things.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s important to note that opinions on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict vary significantly within the Jewish community and beyond. Schnapp\u2019s stance, while receiving backlash, highlights the diversity of views within these communities. However, the controversy surrounding his statements has generated polarizing reactions, showcasing the inherent volatility of social media discourse.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"mt-1 flex justify-start gap-3 empty:hidden\">\n<div class=\"text-gray-400 flex self-end lg:self-center justify-center lg:justify-start mt-0 gap-1 visible\"><button class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 rounded-md p-1 pl-0 text-xs hover:text-gray-950 dark:text-gray-400 dark:hover:text-gray-200 disabled:dark:hover:text-gray-400 md:invisible md:group-hover:visible md:group-[.final-completion]:visible\"><\/button><\/p>\n<div class=\"flex gap-1\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"flex items-center gap-1.5 text-xs\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"w-full pt-2 md:pt-0 dark:border-white\/20 md:border-transparent md:dark:border-transparent md:w-[calc(100%-.5rem)]\">\n<div class=\"relative flex h-full flex-1 items-stretch md:flex-col\">\n<div class=\"flex w-full items-center\">\n<div class=\"overflow-hidden [&:has(textarea:focus)]:border-token-border-xheavy [&:has(textarea:focus)]:shadow-[0_2px_6px_rgba(0,0,0,.05)] flex flex-col w-full dark:border-token-border-heavy flex-grow relative border border-token-border-heavy dark:text-white rounded-2xl bg-white dark:bg-gray-800 shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(255,255,255,0.95)] dark:shadow-[0_0_0_2px_rgba(52,53,65,0.95)]\">\n<div data-grammarly-part=\"button\">\n<div>\n<div>\n<div class=\"amkYk\">\n<div>\n<div class=\"ptGJG\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Noah Schnapp, best known for his role as Will Byers in the hit series \u201cStranger Things,\u201d found himself in the\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":294,"featured_media":15793,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[67],"tags":[3567],"class_list":["post-15792","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-celebrity-news","tag-noah-schnapp"],"reading_time":"2 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15792","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/294"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=15792"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/15792\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/15793"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=15792"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=15792"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/usa\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=15792"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
