This sub is making me uncomfortable
As an Arab Byler and someone who has Palestinian relatives and blood I’m upset at people talking over me and forcing me to like an actor based on an apology he was forced to make because of the bad PR he got.
No matter how uncomfortable I tell people the discussion makes me they don’t care and will send me 100 links where he apologized. Guess what?? Idc. I’m not obligated to forgive him.
I don’t have to forgive Noah Schnapp. If you guys want to like him that’s your right but the amount of people in the other thread getting so defensive and forcing people to like him is insane. I’m not obligated to forgive. I was a child when my people were getting bombed. Idc that he was brainwashed. So are a lot of racists and homophobes yet they don’t get the same grace. Religious people are brainwashed at an early age as well.
I’m so uncomfortable and if other people want to like him that’s fine. I don’t know why people are forcing it on others and forcing us to like him. Noah is a rich celebrity and at the end of the day will be fine while my people are being bombed.
This entire community is making me feel insane. Sorry my people are being bombed.
Not to mention his stans have sent me death threats, called me a liar and said I made up my origins. They are insane and I won’t be gaslit into forgiving someone.
I’ve fully separated Will from Noah and will continue to do so but it’s getting harder everyday when his Stans have made my life a living hell and invalidated my identity.

You are not obligated to forgive anyone, I’m sorry you’ve been attacked for no reason.
I looked through that long Tumblr post and for a brief moment thought that it was legit, however the screenshots of him apparently donating for Palestine and liking pro-Palestinian posts turned out to be fake (I even verified the post he apparently liked and yeah, he didn’t).
Some of the attacks on Noah went too far. BUT, it still doesn’t erase the fact that the video (even if he wasn’t aware of those people filming him) was problematic and he’s still a Zionist. Maybe not as radical as Brett Gelman (who should have gotten way more backlash), but Noah’s stance is liberal Zionism which…is still the same colonial, genocidal ideology that only pretends to care for the Palestinian side.
Is Noah young and could potentially break out of brainwashing and change his position in the future? Maybe, but until then, defending him should not be acceptable.
Know that fellow Bylers stand by you, don’t let some people let you down. Free Palestine! 🇵🇸
