Despite reportedly missing out on Hollywood opportunities due to his pro-Israel advocacy, Rapaport said that he has "not the slightest bit of regret" in an interview with i24 News.
Despite the recent hardships his advocacy has brought to his career, Rapaport said he felt "there was no choice."
"However, I don't have the slightest bit of regret. I don't. There was no choice. 'Well, if you do this, this is going to happen' or 'If you do this, this won't happen.' Being supportive of Jews, being supportive of Israel, being supportive of our people, was not a choice. It is very natural and organic to me," he said.
Rapaport became especially outspoken in his support for Israel and the Jewish people after the attacks on Oct. 7, but it was the tearing down of hostage posters in New York City that most inspired him to speak out.
"The thing that I see the most, that resonated with me the most, is the ripping down of the posters. And I know that doesn't hurt anybody, but it hurts my soul," Rapaport said, adding that the tearing down of the Bibas family posters was especially "shocking."
