Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: Where Is the Outrage Over Anti-Semitism in Sports and Hollywood?

The Hollywood Reporter columnist calls out the hateful outbursts against Jews by Ice Cube, DeSean Jackson and others and explains how the muted response"perpetuates racism" and contributes to an overall"Apatholypse."

Ice Cube’s June 10 daylong series of tweets, which involved some creepy symbols and images, in general implied that Jews were responsible for the oppression of blacks. NFL player DeSean Jackson tweeted out several anti-Semitic messages, including a quote he incorrectly thought was from Hitler stating that Jews had a plan to “extort America” and achieve “world domination.

That same month, President Donald Trump’s reelection campaign also has been criticized for exploiting anti-Jewish biases, even though Trump’s son-in-law and campaign honcho Jared Kushner is Jewish and his daughter Ivanka converted to Judaism before they married. Playing on the same Rothschild’s trope, they issued a letter accusing three billionaires of Jewish descent of using their fortunes to “rig the November election.

Hear Hear!!

Kareem has always been incredibly aware and thoughtful. We have Ice Cube with his millions of fans, a guy who made a career out of being anti Establishment, spreading the MOST ESTABLISHMENT BS EVER that's been going on since truly the Middle Ages. Sell out. Kareem is a legend

For some it isn't about equality, or righting wrong, or even coming together to work for a better future for our children. For some it's about wanting their time to be on top and having the power to expres their hate without consequence.

they think being black gives them a free pass being racist. excuse us if we ignore your whinings next time you complain about being victims of racism.

kaj33 No, Cube was done wrong by Jerry and whatever words he used to describe him...so be it.

kaj33 Kareem looks....diffferent

kaj33 This revisionist BS is just that BS! BLM has no issue with Jews. The point that BLM is making is that the lives of black men and women who've suffered and died at the hands of brute police force matter also. If the lives of whites matter so should the lives of blacks.

kaj33 Hollywood reporter is an odd mainstream outlet. It’s as if....

kaj33 Disgusting . BLM promotes this behavior as well?

kaj33 You guys just figured that out? Plenty are anti-semites. This aint new

kaj33 Anti-Semitism is practiced by many, and wielded in a myriad of ways.

kaj33 Beautifully spoken

kaj33 Thank you for exposing these vile bigots. They deserve to be named and must answer for their hatred.

kaj33 Shut up Stephen

kaj33 icecube has been a racist all the way back to Hughes jr high. He’s now being paid for it.

kaj33 DwyaneWade

kaj33 Thank you for speaking out KAJ!

kaj33 Thank you, Kareem! 👏👏👏

kaj33 Kareem, thank you! you are a model figure to us all! There is no place for antisemitism in our world, please keep on the fight and to unite us!

kaj33 Tucker Carlson's ass wasn't fired. I guess it's a different standard for Carlson (but not his writer, smh). They tore down Nick Cannon in a heartbeat, but not the fucking bigots at Fox News pushing Soros stories and Muslim (and POC) hate.

kaj33 There needs to be outrage. Absolute outrage.

kaj33 Awesome, articulate and powerful article, kaj33. Thanks for your support.

kaj33 Drake is Jewish!

kaj33 Good essay on Anti-Semitic. There’s no doubt about it. But I wish kaj33 and one days visits to Palestine and write similar article on racism, discrimination under apartheid regime.

kaj33 Salute to Mr. Kareem Abdul Jabbar for a poignant essay. More people need to listen.

kaj33 He's right too. It's wholly bizarre people can be all for righting wrongs and uplifting the downtrodden and against systemic racism but none of that applies when they want to insult Jews or appropriate our damn Ancestors and claim false heritage

kaj33 Kareem looks like ice cube

kaj33 Fully agree. Fully. It’s not ok for anyone.
