Actor Josh Gad, best known for voicing Olaf on the animated Disney film “Frozen,” said he’s been “attacked” and “threatened” by fans for voicing his support for Israel.

The 42-year-old actor, who was raised Jewish, spoke out following the terrorist attacks on civilians by Hamas which occurred over the weekend. Gad said he’s been receiving threats ever since making his stance known.

“There’s something I have to say because it’s really making [me] curious as to where we are as a society,” the “Book of Mormon” star wrote in a series of posts shared on his Threads platform. 

“Yesterday, I and the world watched as a Terrorist organization massacred 600 innocent humans and took children and families hostage. I posted a message of heartbreak and shock. I, who have always been critical of the Israeli Government and its pattern of occupation and their attacks on innocent Gazans was personally attacked, shamed, unfollowed and threatened.”

Gad continued, “Instead of compassion & humanity, people are treating this as if it’s a FOOTBALL match with two teams when the points scored are dead human bodies/ Waving flags around as if they are team jerseys. Have we lost our f**king minds? Somewhere in a basement right now, tied up and terrified are little CHILDREN who have never done anything to hurt a Palestinian. Somewhere on the streets of Gaza are innocent people who are being shelled, because terrorists decided it was best to destroy any opportunity for peace.”

He went on to describe some of the messages he was getting.

“And the response is to shame people like me for expressing grief and heartache, the same grief I share anytime an innocent Palestinian is displaced or killed? Is this where we are? I guess it is. One of the many vile messages I will share with you that I received yesterday is: ‘my only regret is that they didn’t kill more Israelis.’ Not soldiers … civilians. People. This isn’t a war. It’s a massacre. It’s a bloodbath. And instead of communal despair, so many are treating this as if it’s politics or a rugby match.”

Gad concluded, “There are no winners here. We are all losers. Most importantly, every Israeli and Palestinian is now on the losing end. I am truly at a loss. I guess I’m the naive one.”

The “Frozen” actor’s original Threads post said, “I have no words. I am praying for my many family members in Israel. What a cowardly act. What we are witnessing in real time right now is unprecedented since the Yom Kippur war. My heart breaks for the families of those who have lost loved ones, and for the hostages who have been taken. What a horrific day.”

A post to X from Secretary of State Antony Blinken in which he talked about expressing support for a ceasefire after Hamas attacks on Israel has been deleted.

It marks the second post that the Biden administration has removed from X since Hamas launched a surprise attack from Gaza, prompting Israel to declare war on the militant group.

“Turkish Foreign Minister [Hakan Fidan] and I spoke further on Hamas’ terrorist attacks on Israel. I encouraged Tükiye’s advocacy for a cease-fire and the release of all hostages held by Hamas immediately,” Blinken said in the now-deleted post on Sunday.

The post elicited some blowback. Among those to critique it was Jonathan Schanzer, a senior vice president at the Foundation for Defense of Democracies, who said Blinken was “allowing himself” to be part of a “charade.”

“Holy s***, the Biden administration is already calling for a ‘cease-fire.’ I didn’t think they could be THIS disgusting and heartless. But here we are,” said political consultant Noah Pollak.

In an earlier post that has not been deleted as of press time, Blinken said he and Fidan “discussed Hamas’ attacks on Israel. Israel has the right to defend itself, rescue any hostages, and protect its citizens.”

Another X account tied to the State Department, one for the U.S. Office of Palestinian Affairs, also deleted a post that drew controversy over the weekend.

“We unequivocally condemn the attack of Hamas terrorists and the loss of life that has incurred. We urge all sides to refrain from violence and retaliatory attacks. Terror and violence solve nothing,” the now-deleted post said.

Officials have reported nearly 1,300 people have been killed — including at least nine Americans — and thousands more wounded in Israel and Gaza amid the conflict. Dozens of others are believed to have been taken hostage by Hamas.

President Joe Biden spoke to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Sunday. During that call, according to Axios, Netanyahu said Israeli forces “have to go” into Gaza, and he predicted that there would be a “long and difficult war.”

In a post to X, Biden said he called Netanyahu “to express my full support for the people of Israel in the face of an unprecedented and appalling assault by Hamas terrorists.” Biden also said they would “remain in close contact over the coming days” and declared the United States “will continue to stand with the people of Israel.”

Sen. Ted Cruz (R-TX) released a statement assailing the Biden administration for creating uncertainty through its State Department channels.

“Instead, this weekend the State Department repeatedly posted statements and summaries calling for premature ceasefires and for Israel to stand down, while other times Biden administration officials said they were not pressuring Israel,” Cruz said. “This ambiguity badly undermines our ally’s campaign against the Iran-controlled terrorists in the Gaza Strip, endangering the safety and security of Israelis and Americans.”
