Wasn't this a time when Jews were downplaying how much influence they have in Hollywood elsewhere because of Weinstein and such?

Seems to come and go in waves. Seems to be picking back up with the Gaza invasion.

Where's that news article from some Jewish guy from while back saying "people say we own Hollywood. Of course we do". Or some shit like that.

I think it's more likely that antisemitism comes and goes in waves. Right now it's trending upwards as evidenced by you casually promoting antisemitic conspiracies and getting upvoted for it.

And you can spare me the rationalization over how if you mention Gaza it's not antisemitism. You're promoting conspiracies about American Jews not Israelis here, so it is antisemitic.

How is that a conspiracy theory exactly?

I'm saying people who are Jewish sometimes talk a lot about being Jewish and Jews in general and sometimes they don't.

When that movie came out I don't remember people talking about how they are Jewish. Before and after that period I remember more people in the news talking about being Jewish.

The "Jews control the media" is an antisemitic conspiracy theory that's probably at least a century old at this point.

When faced with facts that contradict Jews controlling everything, you try to rationalize that it's somehow the part of a Jew plot to to downplay how much influence they have.

When you're this dedicated to antisemitic conspiracy theories don't act so hurt what someone calls out your antisemitism. Either accept your world view might need some adjustment or accept that you're just gonna be an antisemite for the rest of your miserable life. If you're gonna be a racist asshole at least be honest about it.

I didn't say that. I was speaking about how vocal Jews are about being Jewish. Namely Jewish people in media not everyday people on the street.

I was not talking about people speaking about Jews.

What are you suggesting here. That there are no famous Jews? Or that famous Jews never talk about being Jewish? I'm confused.

Seems to come and go in waves.

Historically that's been called pogroms.

They Xians were doing it before Islam was even a thing. But Xians also love to kill Jewish people on their way to kill Muslims. Israel or not Xians just fucking love killing Jewish people.

Even crazier than that folks like Shakespeare are criticized for his antisemitic Jewish character in the Merchant of Venice. Shakespeare likely never met a Jewish person as they were expelled from England during his entire life.

I think you are literally talking about the opposite of what I'm talking about.
