Actress Mayim Bialik expressed her disappointment with the lack of support for the hostages seized in the Oct. 7 raid during the Oscars ceremony. Bialik took to social media to emphasize the urgency of their safe return and called for widespread solidarity. While some guests and winners wore ceasefire pins, Bialik specifically called for yellow ribbons to show support for Hamas. However, her call seemed to omit Gaza from the narrative. Ramy Youssef, Mark Ruffalo, and Billie Eilish were among those who wore ceasefire pins, emphasizing the necessity of ending violence in Palestine, particularly against children. Bialik’s perspective has been met with mixed reactions, as earlier this year protesters disrupted an author chat she was part of due to disagreements with her viewpoints.
