Star of David and hostage symbol: The Jewish star who lit up the red carpet

"Against those trying to boycott Israel and fueling antisemitism, I choose to remember what's most important – we still have hostages whose time is running out," Emily Austin told reporters at the venue.

The Emmy Awards ceremony was held on Monday night, and if we needed a reminder about Hollywood's public opinion on Israel, we got it in the form of a keffiyeh worn by actor Javier Bardem and the acceptance speech by Jewish actress Hannah Einbinder, who shouted to free Palestine on stage.

Emily Austin appreciation post.

That would be a yellow ribbon for the Israeli hostages and a Star of David around her neck while on the Red Carpet for the Emmys.

The one who wasn't moved by all the gestures was Jewish influencer Emily Austin, who stood on the red carpet with a Star of David necklace and a bag featuring the hostage symbol.

"Against those trying to boycott Israel and fueling antisemitism, I choose to remember what's most important – we still have hostages whose time is running out. We need to focus on them and bring them home," Austin told reporters at the venue. "This red carpet may be meant to celebrate entertainment and television, but for me it's a platform to remind the world of their story."
