Money Heist fans have decided to snub the show as their cast was seen in an interview praising Israel. This whole incident took place in an interview where some of the Money Heist cast went to give an interview at Israel’s Channel 12.

#BoycottMoneyHeist-Rage Is Rising
Money Heist the famous Netflix foreign language show is now getting all the hate from their fans. The hatred began when the host asked the cast about the Israel visit, then Darko Peric who played the role of Helsinki said,
“It was a marvelous experience and I hope to come back again. I know that there are a lot of fans here, and the people here are great. When people travel to Israel, they always talk about strict security and police measures, but when I arrived here even the police wanted to take pictures with me. It was great!”
Not only Darko Peric but also Spanish-Armenian actor Hovik Keuchkerian shared that he would love to visit Israel and added he only heard wonderful things about the country.
It didn’t stop right there, Keuchkerian went on and started praising Israeli drama Fauda which is about an undercover unit, whose commandos carry out missions in the occupied Palestinian territories while disguised as Arabs.
Riot On Social Media
Soon after the interview many of the activists and commentators heavily criticized the show and cast as well. They took it to the upper level and every humanist and activist went on to protest on Twitter to ban or say avoid Money Heist.
One of the Twitter users wrote, “While millions of Money Heist fans wait for the fifth season, performers from the successful show appeared on an Israeli channel, expressing their support for the Israeli occupation and celebrating its criminal activities against Palestinian(s),”
Many of the fans and users called out Alba Flores who played the Nairobi character to say something against her co-stars. Because she was the one who showed her support to Palestine against Israel.
Alba Flores took the stand and supported Palestine when Israel attacked Gaza. Which resulted in the death of around 248 people.
“There is no justification for the massacre. All our support for the Palestinian people. #PalestineUnderAttack #FreePalestine,” that’s what she had written.
That’s not the first time Money Heist cast praised Israel. In 2019, Jaime Lorente known as Denver also praised the country in good words.
“When they talked to me about going to Israel, I agreed right away. I had heard a lot about this amazing country and how special it is and about the Tel Aviv nightlife and the great food. I’d love recommendations about where to eat hummus and falafel,”
Fan’s Comments On IMDB
It looks like people who know about Israel’s actions surely supporting Palestine. Users even went to the IMDB website and started commenting negative remarks on the show.
According to one of the Twitter users, “Reducing the rating of the series will not liberate Palestine, but it will affect production and affect viewers and advertisement if the campaign becomes global,”
Some of the IMDB comments are mentioned below:
“The cast should stop showing their love for an apartheid state that kills Palestinians, destroy their homes and steal[s] their land,” read one comment, with a rating of one star out of ten. Another review accused the show of “claim[ing] to support the oppressed and downtrodden yet they openly support the Zionist occupation of the Palestinians.”
Even the Palestinian account also came forward to stand with others. “Like when we succeeded in decreasing the rating of Facebook and Instagram on Google Play and the App Store. We can make an achievement and lower the rating of the La Casa de Papel series on IMDb.”
“We must have a voice deliver a message to the producers of the series that the stars of the series praising the occupation will not go unnoticed.”
It looks like the hatred went on another level, no one saw it coming at all. Because this would make a huge impact on their Season 5 Vol.2 because if it goes on their ratings will go down badly.
