The actress also said that she has received a barrage of hate for being Jewish. She stated, "I was shamed, humiliated and targeted for being Jewish. I would like to tell everyone that this pro-Palestinian Arab propaganda, which makes Israelites look like cold-blooded killers, is not true. Self-defence isn't terrorism.” The actress also said that she does not support violence in any form.
