Legendary comedian Jerry Seinfeld and businessman and music producer Scooter Braun arrived in Israel on Monday on the same flight to express support for Israel, in light of the many anti-Israel and anti-Semitic attacks recorded since the outbreak of the Iron Sword War.
Brown, who previously managed music industry megastars such as Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Demi Lovato and Ariana Grande, arrived at Kibbutz Kfar Azza and posted several stories on his Instagram account, where he has 3.8 million followers. "There are no words to describe my experience today and the pain in this area," he wrote in one. "The scenes in this kibbutz and the massacre that took place there are difficult to understand, I will never forget what I experienced today," wrote another.

The director has previously addressed the war in Israel, writing on his Instagram account two months ago: "I am a Jew, and even when you hate me, I love you. Because I am proud of who I am, your hatred will not define me, it has never defined me. I love you despite the hatred because that's who we are. We were chosen to love in the face of hatred. When one of our children dies, we will mourn, and when one of your children dies, we will mourn as well. No child deserves to die because of war between people."

"I see the world becoming something beyond conflict," he added. "When we feel the call not only for the destruction of our homeland but for our existence in the entire world, we must not be afraid. We have to remember and tell ourselves: 'I'm Jewish, I'm proud and I'll never be afraid again,' and no amount of hateful rhetoric by you or anyone else will change that."
Seinfeld, for his part, published a post two days after the war broke out on his Instagram, where he has 1.3 million followers, in which he described his visit to Israel as a 16-year-old boy, which made him fall in love with what he described as "our Jewish homeland": "My heart is broken by these attacks and atrocities, but we are a very strong people, both in our hearts and in our heads. We believe in justice, freedom and equality. We survive and thrive no matter what. I will always stand with Israel and the Jewish people."
