Despite his advocacy and UNHCR representative for displaced people and refugees, his empathy for the downtrodded is limited and doesn't include the >1 million displaced in Gaza, or any other Palestinian for that matter, with his support for the Zionist political movement and the NHLB open letter.

In June 2024, nine months into the Israel Occupation Forces' escalated genocide against Palestinians, Ben Stiller published an overtly Zionist article in Time Magazine, that he attempted to portray as nuanced. Stiller called the Palestinian resistance's liberation mission "barbaric", "a heinous act of terrorism", "unconscionable and reprehensible", and asserted it led to an extreme rise in antisemitism. Stiller stated, "I stand with the Israeli people and their right to live in peace and safety. I believe, as many people in Israel and around the world do, in the need for a two-state solution. I also see a troubling conflation in criticism of the actions of the Israeli government with denunciations of all Israelis and Jewish people. And as a result, we are seeing an undeniable rise in global antisemitism."
No Hostage Left Behind Letter:
A since deleted sensationalist open letter that relied heavily on since refuted but still actively heinous, destructive and dehumanizing lies about Palestinians having ‘beheaded over 40 babies’ among other bouts of misinformation.
The letter also only asks for the return of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas since October 7th and not the thousands of also innocent Palestinian hostage kidnapped by Israel both before and after October 7th — including hundreds of children who have been documented to have suffered assault, torture, sexual abuse, forced starvation after being imprisoned despite having no charges against them.
It also serves to completely absolve Israel of any accountability over the suffering of Palestinians by shifting the blame to Hamas, despite Israel being the active oppressor of Palestinians for decades, ethnically cleansing the population since the early 1900s and now actively committing a genocide while the entire world watches from their screens.
