Jewish actress Hannah Einbinder ended her acceptance speech at the Emmy Awards ceremony on Sunday, Sept. 14, with a criticism of Israel, stating it was her “obligation” to do so. Wearing a red hand pin associated with the group Artists4Ceasefire, she said, “Go Birds, F**k ICE and Free Palestine,” before leaving the stage, referring first to the Philadelphia Eagles football team, and then to Immigration and Customs Enforcement.

Einbinder later elaborated on her statement in an aftershow press room, saying that it was her “obligation as a Jewish person to distinguish Jews from the State of Israel, because our religion and our culture is such an important and long-standing institution that is really separate to this sort of ethno-nationalist state,” according to the New York Post.

Jewish groups have claimed the symbol is a reference to the lynching of two Israeli reservists in Ramallah in October 2000, after which one of the Palestinian terrorists proudly waved his blood-soaked hands to a cheering crowd.
Einbinder won the outstanding supporting actress award for her role in the HBO comedy series “Hacks.” Her co-star, Megan Statler, walked the Emmys red carpet holding a black purse with the words “CEASE FIRE” across it, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
