He has described himself as "a very, very strong supporter of Israel". In 2019, he described former Pink Floyd member Roger Waters and other activists seeking to boycott Israel for human rights abuses as "Nazi comrades".[26] In October 2023, he denounced the attacks on Israel carried out by Hamas and several other Palestinian militant groups as acts of terrorism.[27] In June 2024, he posted photos of himself visiting Israel Defense Forces troops serving in the Gaza war and writing "Fuck Hamas" on a 155mm artillery shell.[28][29]
Some members of the audience booed Draiman during his appearance at the Back to the Beginning concert in July 2025, which was linked to his support for Israel during the Gaza war. Draiman blamed the booing on "a few Jew hating morons" and said "I am STILL UNAPOLOGETICALLY A FIERCELY PRO ISRAEL JEW".[31] He called fellow musician Tom Morello "shameful" for praising the Irish hip-hop group Kneecap, saying Morello was "virtue signaling for those who support terror, and incite Jew hatred". Draiman said "All innocent lives lost in this conflict are due to Hamas using their own people as cannon fodder". Kneecap replied, "We don't care what religion anyone is…signing bombs to murder kids and other people's families just makes you a straight up cunt".[32]
