The 'Stranger Things' actor faces event cancellations and backlash due to his outspoken support of Israel, highlighting the charged atmosphere around the Gaza conflict.

Brett Gelman's book reading at Book Soup in Los Angeles was canceled due to safety risks, following a series of event cancellations on his national tour.
The cancellations are attributed to Gelman's pro-Israel stance amidst the ongoing conflict in Gaza, leading to escalated threats and concerns for safety.
