Hannah Einbinder is not afraid of being blacklisted for supporting Palestine: 'The cost of not speaking is higher'

Hannah Einbinder says she is not worried about being blacklisted in Hollywood for speaking out in support of Palestine, insisting that staying silent would carry a far greater moral cost.

The Hacks star made the remarks while attending the Cannes Film Festival, where she is promoting her new film Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma.

When asked whether she fears professional consequences similar to those faced by outspoken stars such as Melissa Barrera and Susan Sarandon, Einbinder said, “The cost of not speaking is higher.”

“There is a greater toll in not speaking,” she said. “I am under no impression that my small career could ever measure up in comparison to even one human life. It’s an obligation and I will always do it.”

Einbinder also voiced support for fellow artists who have publicly advocated for Palestine, including Mark Ruffalo and Javier Bardem. She joked that she would love to make a “road trip movie” with Barrera, Sarandon, Ruffalo, and Bardem.

The Emmy-winning actress has become one of Hollywood’s most prominent pro-Palestine voices. During her acceptance speech at the 2025 Emmys, she ended her remarks with the words “Free Palestine" and "F--- ICE" drawing widespread attention.

Einbinder’s comments come amid ongoing debate within the entertainment industry over whether celebrities face professional repercussions for expressing political views, particularly on issues related to Gaza and Palestine. Her latest statement makes clear that she intends to keep speaking out regardless of any potential impact on her career.
