Hacks star goes viral for subtle show of Palestinian support in latest episode
A quick moment in 'Hacks' got everyone talking. In a scene, the character Ava wears a shirt from a Palestinian football team based in a refugee camp. Fans online saw it as meaningful representation in a popular HBO show. The actress playing Ava, Hannah Einbinder, has publicly supported Palestinian causes before, saying she feels a responsibility to distinguish being Jewish from the State of Israel. The team itself, Lajee Celtic, was founded with help from fans of Scotland's Celtic FC and focuses on sports and community programs for youth.
