Israeli actress Noah Tishby shared a video on her Instagram page, interviewing participants of a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Park City, an American city hosting the Sundance Independent Film Festival.
The demonstration, titled "Let Gaza Live," unfolded yesterday on Main Street and drew approximately one hundred participants. Notably, stand-up comedian and actor Daniel-Ryan Spaulding collaborated in creating the video.
The young individuals responding to Tishby's questions were holding signs advocating for an end to hostilities in support of Gazans. They were also chanting the slogan, “From the river to the sea, Palestine must be free.”
During Noah Tishby's interviews, some demonstrators struggled to specify which river and sea they were referencing. Among the varied responses were mentions of the Red and Black Seas.
Some of those interviewed admitted to being unaware of the hostages' situation. One demonstrator even claimed there is no presence of Hamas in Gaza. Another person expressed the view that Israel shouldn't exist in the region due to alleged genocide, citing bans on chocolate and wedding dresses for the past "15 years."
Noah Tishby concluded her video, stating, "As you can see, some individuals here are advocating for the genocide of the Jews. Some lack understanding of the situation. Our youth have been influenced to the point where blind antisemitism has become acceptable to them. This is a significant issue. While we all seek freedom in the region, resorting to such methods is not the right way to achieve it."
In response to Tishby's post, thousands of commenters attacked her with criticism, insults, and accused her of endorsing the genocide of Palestinians.

Critics accused her of promoting and supporting the genocide of Palestinians in response to a video she shared. It's worth noting that Tishby was one of the speakers at a panel discussion titled, "Cults, Lies and Videotapes: Debunking Deadly Stereotypes about Jews and Israel in Television, Film and the Media," coinciding with a pro-Palestinian demonstration in Park City. The festival, attended by family members of Israeli hostages, also featured a Shabbat meeting organized by Daniel-Ryan Spaulding the day before.
