” on Thursday night to discuss his best picture-nominated film “The Fabelmans,” but also to deliver a message against antisemitism.

“I find it very, very surprising,” Spielberg responded. “Antisemitism has always been there, it’s either been just around the corner and slightly out of sight but always lurking, or it has been much more overt like in Germany in the ’30s. 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.

“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 … Hate became a kind of membership to a club that has gotten more members than I ever thought was possible in America,” he said. “And hate and antisemitism go hand in hand, you can’t separate one from the other.”

Kanye wasn't wrong, that's all i'm saying. There is a POWER INBALANCE. There are BIGOTs and RACIST and People who are in favor of Apatheid who run our media or have too much influence in our media. It's time we start calling those people out!!!

I have blocked so many accounts, thanks to this post. Keep it coming.

The comments in here already proving Spielberg right

This guy is a supporter of Israel, what right does he have to speak about hatred ?

Mussolini wasn't much of an antisemite until the Nazis came onto the scene. Bey hey ho, what's a little ignorance amongst our elite overlords.

Both the left and right have an antisemitism problem
