Liberals are furious at actress Julianna Margulies for saying blacks have been 'brainwashed' into hating Jews
Actress Julianna Margulies is getting furious backlash from liberals on social media after she criticized some in the black community for protesting against Israel in its war against the Hamas terror organization.
Margulies made the comments while appearing as a guest on the "Back Room with Andy Ostroy" podcast.
“I am the first person to jump up when something is wrong, as I think most Jews are, because we have been persecuted from the beginning of time, not just in World War II, but literally from the beginning of time when we first lived in Israel, way before anybody else,” Margulies said.
“Before one bomb was dropped on October 7, before one bomb was dropped in retaliation for a brutal, barbaric attack, people were already on their bullhorns saying the Jews deserved it," she added. "What? Where’s your humanity? They put babies in ovens and killed them.”
“The reason is, people hate Jews,” Ostroy said before adding later, “You know, if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses, there’d be an uproar.”
“Oh my god, forget it,” Margulies responded. “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them... it’s those people that will be the first people beheaded and their heads played with like a soccer ball, like a soccer ball on the field. And that’s who they’re supporting: terrorists who don’t want women to have their rights.”
She went on to say that she was supportive of the Black Lives Matter movement and of LGBTQ rights but was upset that many in those communities turned against the Jewish community. She cited the history of Jews marching with blacks during the Civil Rights struggles of the 1960s.
“Jews died for their cause. Where’s the history lesson in that? Who’s teaching these kids?” Margulies continued. “Because the fact that the entire Black community isn’t standing with us to me says either they just don’t know, or they’ve been brainwashed to hate Jews. But when you’ve been marginalized so much as a community, the way I feel we have, isn’t that when you step up?”
Many on the left lambasted the actress on social media over the comments.
"Wish I could say that Julianna Margulies' racist rant against Black people is an outlier. But as I've said before, I've heard this same sentiment from supposedly liberal circles. Solidarity w/ Black people is transactional. We are supposed to be grateful charity recipients," responded Washington Post editor Karen Attiah.
"I wish trifling (racist) ass Julianna Margulies would shut the F*K UP! ppl always talking about black people to stand with them when you don’t stand with black people. It’s always so performative," replied another detractor.
"You can't spell Julianna Margulies without LIES which is exactly what the racist Zionist bulls*** she's spouting is," wrote another critic online.
Margulies is best known for her roles on "ER, "The Good Wife," and most recently in "The Morning Show."
