In the past few weeks there have been a number of headlines in the news regarding people in the world making anti-semetic statements. Unfortunately, many of these people are individuals who are in the spotlight and are those in which some look up to. Many are unsure why these comments have been made, additionally, there is the underlying issue of if these statements or videos are even true.
Comments such as these made in general or to specific individuals are not appropriate and many take offence. Personally when anti-semitic comments are made I find them similar to when someone calls a person a 'douche' or 'homo'. As someone who has gay friends these snide remarks directly impact my friends and indirectly impact me.
It's sad that it has to take someone 'famous' making these comments for light to be brought upon this issue. There are people out there everyday who make these racist remarks but it goes unnoticed for the most part expect to those who are directly/indirectly affected. The bottom line is that no one should be making comments such as this at any time to anyone. There is not need for such hatred and all it takes it one person to be the beginning to the end.
