The movie, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,”promotes anti-Semitic tropes and bogus claims
The documentary film, “Hebrews to Negroes: Wake Up Black America,” is laced with anti-Semitic tropes.Last week, Irving, the mercurial Nets star, took to Twitter and posted a link to the film. After news reports highlighted the anti-Semitic content in the movie, Nets owner Joe Tsai released a statement condemning Irving for the tweet.
Last week, the ADL, which views the film as “virulently anti-Semitic,” sent a letter to Amazon urging the Seattle-based tech giant to remove the film and book from its platform. Another prominent American Jewish organization, the American Jewish Committee, also asked Amazon to remove the film and book.The book version has been catapulted to No. 46 on the best-selling list overall and first in the Christian Education category as well as the Black & African American Biographies category as of Monday.
