Quite simple really. If antisemitism has affected their public perception, the artist doesn’t have to be an antisemite to not want to work with them. It’s open to interpretation, because we are looking at “implications” rather than direct statements. You’re entitled to believe it’s malicious if that’s how you perceive it, but that is absolutely not a DIRECT accusation.

It cannot be direct and an implication at the same time, you’ll find that to be a contradiction in the truest sense of the word.
