Netflix’s “Nobody Wants This” consulting rabbi Steve Leder publicly criticizes actor Adam Brody after Brody describes the war in Gaza as “genocide.” Leder, who served as a technical adviser on the show’s first season, calls Brody’s comments uninformed and expresses strong disapproval of the way he said it.
Across the outlets, Leder’s rebuttal appears in public statements, including an Instagram video. He characterizes Brody’s remarks as “ignorant” and “flippant,” and describes the tone as “disgusting.” Leder also advances his own position that, in his view, there is no genocide occurring in Gaza.
The reporting focuses on the clash between Brody’s characterization and Leder’s counterclaim, rather than on additional evidence or commentary from Brody. The outlets primarily differ in emphasis and wording—some foreground Leder’s role with the series and others highlight the language of condemnation—while agreeing that Leder is publicly disputing Brody’s Gaza remarks.
