Jewish filmmaker Steven Spielberg said that antisemitism is the most 'overt' he's ever seen and suggested that 'hate' that rose in 2014-2016 was to blame.
Filmmaker Steven Spielberg warned against antisemitism in the US becoming more overt. "Not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking but standing proud..."warned he has not witnessed antisemitism so"overt" as it is now in the United States. "I find it very, very surprising," Spielberg told late-night host Stephen Colbert.
"But not since Germany in the ‘30s have I witnessed antisemitism no longer lurking, but standing proud with hands on hips like Hitler and Mussolini, kind of daring us to defy it. I’ve never experienced this in my entire life, especially in this country," he revealed on"The Late Show."WITH ANTISEMITISM ON THE RISE, AMERICAN JEWISH GROUPS AIM TO TAKE A STAND AGAINST THREATS
Spielberg suggested the"marginalization" of non-White people that became prominent in 2014-2016 was to blame. "Somehow, the marginalizing of people that aren’t part of some kind of a majority race is something that has been creeping up on us for years and years and years," Spielberg began. "Somehow in 2014, 2015, 2016, hate became a kind of membership to a club that has gotten more members than I ever thought was possible in America. And hate and antisemitism go hand in hand; you can’t separate one from the other," he argued.The football stadium press box at Blue Valley High School in Overland Park, Kansas was vandalized with racial, homophobic, and antisemitic graffiti.
