Spielberg disingenuous when discussing increased levels of anti-semitism in interview

40

In a recent interview with NBC’s Lester Holt, Steven Spielberg showed tremendous cowardice and ignorance when discussing the alarming levels of anti-Semitism occurring in the United States. Spielberg stated that “people must confront the alarming rise of hateful ideologies.” What “hateful ideologies” was Spielberg referring too? Spielberg went on to say “when collective hate organizes and gets industrialized, then genocide follows” and that this was happening “during a time of heightened identity politics and the massacre of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in which the suspected shooter left a trail of anti-Semitic posts online.” In other words, it’s Trump’s fault.

Like most prominent Jews, Spielberg refuses to be truthful. He refuses to admit that high levels of Muslim immigration have caused the surge in anti-Semitic incidents. He refuses to admit that rampant anti-Semitism in the Democrat Party (which he votes for and funds) is making life for Jews increasingly dangerous. He refuses to admit that the radical left, which has taken over the Democrat Party, is legitimizing hatred of Israel on college campuses, the mainstream media, and the now corporate America. Spielberg’s conduct is not a surprise. Spielberg won’t jeopardize his reputation and career by speaking the truth in defense of his people. Instead, Spielberg takes the easy way out by implying that Trump (the most pro-Israel and pro-Jewish president ever) and his supporters are to blame for the increased levels of anti-Semitism in America.

Spielberg also has a history of pandering to enemies of Israel and the Jewish people. Spielberg has addressed and glorified the anti-Semitic United Nations during (of all things) a Holocaust memorial ceremony. Spielberg also shamelessly honored President Obama (through Spielberg’s Holocaust History Foundation) with his “Ambassador to Humanity” award, despite Obama being a relentless enemy of Israel. Furthermore, if there is a second Holocaust, it will be because of the policies of Barack Obama. That never bothered the clueless Spielberg.

“Spielberg, 25 years after ‘Schindler’s List,’ warns against collective hate,” by Alexa Keyes, MSN, December 6, 2018:

In the wake of the mass shooting at a Pittsburgh synagogue in October, acclaimed Hollywood director Steven Spielberg believes now, more than ever, is when people must confront the alarming rise in hateful ideologies.

Spielberg’s Academy Award-winning film about the Holocaust, “Schindler’s List,” is returning to select theaters this week in honor of its 25th anniversary. It’s a story that still resonates today, he said in an interview with “NBC Nightly News” anchor Lester Holt airing Wednesday.

“I think there is more at stake today than even back then,” Spielberg said, referring to when the film was released.

“When collective hate organizes and gets industrialized, then genocide follows,” said Spielberg. “We have to take it more seriously today than I think we have had to take it in a generation,” he said during a time of heightened identity politics and the massacre of 11 people at the Tree of Life synagogue in which the suspected shooter left a trail of anti-Semitic posts online.

“Schindler’s List,” released in 1993, tells the true story of Oskar Schindler, a German businessman whose efforts to employ Jews during the Holocaust saved 1,200 people….

Spielberg is a typical liberal Jew. The same type in Europe that ignored Nazis and ended up in ovens. The same type if Jew that wants to show Jew haters they can be even handed. While ignoring the evils of Islam and rampant anti semitism in Europe Africa and the Middle East.

Her father is Druze, her mother is Sunni. Either way, she still is a lawyer and has worked to defend the Muslim Brotherhood. Most notably the Aljazera guys in Egypt. (Aljazera is is owned by the Kingdom of Qatar)

“Collective hate” against non-members is being silently & violently indoctrinated by a well-established organization that the movie Schindler’ list omitted Kitman-style (Kitman: Muhammadist deception through omission) despite the fact that this organization, Muhammadism was promoted by Hitler as religion that fits the German temperament better & with wich had the Germans adpoted it so Hitler argued, had conquered the world.
This hateful ideology is not loud besides the daily calls to prayer, the bombs & terror, it is silent, censoring media, entertainment, academia, cutting off clitorisses, enslaving Africans, incarcerating, raping, extorting, killing, torturing & mass-murdering atheists & other Non-muhammadists.
Ideology is based on values. The radical part of a person are it’s values, either they are ethical (human rights, ecology, truth, love, justice, friendliness, liberation, global imperialism, English, cultivation of ecological best quality basics, support for self-realization, freedom from religion) & form a balanced ethical ideology or they are replaced by an unethical ideology with unethical values.

We know what Hitler’s “sex life” was like: like the “sex life” of an
average Muslim who abuses sheeps, goats, donkeys and kid’s

genitals. Mrs. Merkel’s “eroticism” doesn’t look much different.

I did not take the comments of Spielberg to be directed against Trump. Unlike his Hollywood brethren, I believe he is intelligent enough to have actually intended to state that hate is simply out of control today. Though I believe that the author of this article is correct in observing that hate crimes have become more pronounced as a result of the world of Islam, I have to believe that people like Spielberg are reasonable and smart enough to essentially come to the same conclusion. At least I hope so.

In other words, he sold dreams (E.T.) and nightmares (Schindler’s
list). He should only be judged by whether the result of his profitable
actions is peace between the peoples of the earth – or the opposite.

Spielberg soils his own masterpiece Schindlers List, as he throws Israel under the bus, Jewish people in Europe who wish to express their faith w/o fear of violence, and eventually American Jews. Spielberg sacrifices them all for Politics, and Hollywood. What also is sickening is, by not addressing Radical Islam, and the Far Left, he masterfully, and subtly attacks Conservatives who support Israel, freedom of Religion, and Jews in Europe and America…as Anti semites.

He will never address Radical Islam, or the other groups listed. He is bought and paid for. Lives in a la-la world with the praise of men.

A phony, albeit creative intellectual, he will be among the first on a future dictator’s list of matters (people) to be addressed and eliminated.

Does anyone remember “good ole’ Uncle Joe” Stalin?

“Master-piece” or master-deception?
Through incessant high-profile propaganda like “Schindler’s list” people were made to believe that Hitler’s Nazi-movement had nothing to do with Muhammadism & Lenin, Stalin & Hitler atheists while they all supported Muhammadism or were Muhammadists. It reminds of the Nazi Goebbel’s quote that a big lie repeated often enough will eventually be believed. The result is Muhammadist propaganda claiming Muhammadists are the victims of Nazis & the real new Jews & real new Afro-americans.
Meanwhile Africans are enslaved from Saudi Arabia to Mauritania in emulation of unjust Muhammad.
The amateur-film attempt on Muhammad that Hillary Clinton blamed for an embassy-attack in Libya is more educative & valuable then any of those high-production movies about the Nazis.

“A member of Rothschild’s family…” LOL. Your evidence indicates he was “related to” the Rothschilds, which is hardly the same as being a member of the Rothschild’s family.
The only proof your “Jewish princess” was Jewish is that her mother was “said to be Jewish”. How convincing!
Um your Jewish doctor is only described in the article you cited as being half-Jewish (maybe the good half eh?).

Another lie that democrats peddle from the pits of Hell. Diversity has never been a strength. It is just another way to keep us all divided by having many different subgroups that are very different and have difficulty finding common ground.

Spielberg doesn’t have to worry, it’s highly unlikely sacralised islamic antisemitism will ever affect him and his immediate family in their guarded, ivory towers far from the madding crowds of muslums killing, raping and robbing the hoi polloi beneath.

I used to know a tough Israeli commando who fought in the Yom Kippur War (I believe one of his missions was taking out an Egyptian radar installation). He once told me American Jews are incredibly naive.

Sadly, this is not new. How many Jews in Europe prior to WWII were in denial about what was happening? What makes this so hurtful is that this man created the definitive Holocaust film of our generation.

Until the Jews come to Jesus Christ. This is gonna continue on like this. There are a bunch of Evil Jews that will sacrifice regular Jews all day long and feel no guilt at all. And then will call you a hater for pointing it out. Just ask the Pharisees who killed Jesus.

Typical Liberal pap. This man is not an expert in anything but film-making. We listen to actors and entertainers and late-night TV people with no idea of what they speak. Well, perhaps a glance of what they speak, but no depth. They don’t consider their own perspective as a factor for why they feel the way they do.
And, this may be the first time I mention this, but I feel that gays are more often victims of hate crimes than anybody else. But that is my opinion, and I have suffered from anti-Semitism but I am also straight.

So, now, you’re attacking Spielberg? How do you get “it’s Trump’s fault” from what he said? Kind of a stretch, don’t you think? You accuse him of ignoring facts, while you ignore the great good he has done for the Jews, not the least of which is the documenting of the Holocaust, through film and the SHOAH Foundation. I feel this article is a bit sensationalist.
