Seinfeld’s Jason Alexander Speaks Out on behalf of 9-Year-Old Israeli Hostage Held by Hamas

Voiceless hostages held by Hamas for weeks got some celebrity support, as a “Seinfeld” star expressed of a nine-year-old captive, “Today, I’m going to be his voice.”

While the corporate media talked about the issue of a cease-fire, ignoring the terrorists’ breaking of that agreement with the slaughter of more than 1,400 in Israel on October 7, and the propaganda of the pro-Palestinian camps, a considerable gap in virtue. the signaling was noticed among Hollywood’s elite. A new video released by Tony Award-winning actor Jason Alexander helped break that silence as part of an effort to bring the hostages home.

“Hi, I’m Jason Alexander. This is a picture of me when I was nine years old,” he said in the video released by the Israeli embassy in the United States. Moving to the next picture on the tablet, Alexander continued, “This is Ohad. He’s nine years old. In fact, he celebrated his ninth birthday as a hostage to Hamas days ago.”

“Today,” explained the actor, “I will be his voice.”

“Hi, I’m Ohad. I’m nine years old,” the actor continued while speaking for fourth-grader Ohad Munder-Zichri. “I’m a soccer player. I have two best friends, but I like to get along with everyone and helping out, especially my soccer coach, Noam, when he needs help.”

“I don’t like to brag, but I’m very good at solving Rubik’s cubes. I wait every day to hug my father and go home. Please set me free,” Alexander closed before speaking as himself again, “On behalf of Ohad, I’m begging you, please release him now. Send it home. Take him home.”

According to the Time of Israel“The project was created by Maayan Arzi-Mlinarski, the head of Shavot, a leadership organization for girls, and be the television personality Sivan Morag,” as part of an effort to call for the return of the considerably more 200 hostages that had been taken on October 7, 32 of whom were said to be under the age of 18.

Along with Alexander, “other participants included Ukrainian-born Israeli actor Mark Ivanir of ‘Schindler’s List’ and ‘The Good Shepherd,’ and Israeli figures such as pop star Ivri Lider, actress Alma Zack, the actor Tomer Capone who starred in the hit drama series “Fauda,” actress Daniel Gal and acclaimed Israeli actor Sasson Gabai.”

Another video from the embassy showed 1,500 Rubik’s cubes arranged to make the same image of Ohad that Alexander held in his charge, as part of the appeal ahead of the UN’s World Children’s Day on Monday.

The actor, a long-time advocate for peace in the Middle East, was matched in his defense by Jewish celebrities who were using social media to allow anti-Semitism to run rampant on platforms, particularly TikTok.

On Wednesday, more than 30 participants joined a call with platform executives, including Sacha Baron Cohen and Debra Messing, as stepped back to the circulation of Osama Bin Laden’s “Letter to America” ​​justifying 9/11 and Hamas sympathy messages in line with the argument.

“What’s happening on TikTok is that it’s creating the biggest anti-Semitic movement since the Nazis,” Baron Cohen said before blasting: “Shame on you!”

Hollywood’s minimal outpouring contrasted with the 2014 school hijackings in Nigeria by a different Islamic terrorist group, Boko Haram. Back then, hashtag activism shined as celebrities of all stripes displayed signs that read “Bring Back Our Girls,” but did nothing else.

For his continued efforts and for lending his voice, Alexander was praised online.

Thank you Mr Alexander!

On behalf of evangelical Christians like me in the US, I want to say that you are not alone and Never Again is now.

We pray for the families and hostages and for the peace of Israel.
