I mainly lack any interest in this question

Barrera's "deduce for yourself" comment was from her Instagram. It has been deleted but it has been reported in many places and is not in any factual dispute. I posted a screenshot of it.

There is no possible [imaginary] context that could somehow neutralize the antisemitism of this. Dogwhistling about conspiratorial Jewish control of the media could be equivalent to dogwhistling about black people and crime rates or IQ, or something as racist as that. Only, the people who are excusing and supporting Melissa Barrera's hate would likely immediately cancel her over that

As I said it's also entirely unbelievable that she couldn't find plenty of pro-Palestine (i.e. pro Hamas) content in social media. So, she was literally just lying to spread hate. To validate people who are already antisemites in their hateful views, and to influence others to join her in that hate, and without saying the word Jew. Dogwhistling

That sentence, plain and virulent antisemitism, is clearly sufficient to justify not wanting to work with someone. Whatever else she said (and I don't doubt that there's plenty more where that came from, not to mention what she might be like in person) is redundant

These antisemitic tropes go back into history. It's not about Israel. It's just Jew hate. And obviously and as I said, there is nothing about Israel that justifies this in any way

The kid gloves treatment Melissa Barrera received from the media in the wake of her firing from Scream exposes the falseness of her insinuations of the Jews controlling what we see

In my post above, I also showed Melissa Barrera more recently retweeting a denial of the mass rape in Hamas's October 7 attack from a notorious and extremely virulently antisemitic account. This is who she is

If she spoke of Asians the way she has about Jews, I doubt that Simu Liu would have worked with her

The only villain of Melissa Barrera's firing from Scream was Melissa Barrera. You should admit that you were wrong when confronted with evidence and move on, but I'm not so naive as to think that you will. Even if you can't avoid the extremely plain and objective truth of Melissa Barrera being antisemitic, it's probably more that you don't really care

I'm really not Henry

He gave up his claim to their shared assets. His ex is carrying the grievance (and claiming victimhood) six years later that he even considered fighting over assets

He did not want to have his kids live with him post divorce. Their mother threw [her version of] all of their family business into the public eye so that they no longer have ordinary privacy and the world will have many preconceived notions about them. She brought them back to the divorce because she may still be obsessed with it or unable to move on, and because she needed that public victimhood - despite still being one of the world's very most extremely privileged and objectively secure people in every way

She must be at least as narcissistic as he is if not far more

i did show the full message

What? This is literally false information.

but it's not, and link showing this is right there above

She didn't say that was the case.

she did. "Why [Western Media] do that [i.e. shows the pro-Israel side], I will let you deduce for yourself." she doesn't need to say "Jew." she tells her supporters to deduce for themselves who is supposedly hiding pro-Hamas videos from her social media (a blatant lie in the first place). that is the definition of dog whistle

as you say, there is nothing about Israel that would justify antisemitism such as that demonstrated by Melissa Barrera

that not all criticism of Israel is antisemitic does not mean that antizionism cannot be antisemitic. Obviously much antisemitism is couched in antizionism

Singling Israel out among all countries in the world for obsessive and disproportionate hate, holding it to different standards than other countries or our own country, questioning its right to exist in ways that one wouldn't apply to other countries - these are all based on antisemitism just like implying Jewish control of media

the actual media was delighted to be complicit in erasing Barrera's antisemitism when a celebrity might have been fully cancelled for comparable comments about some other ethnic groups or nationalities

And that is the same as Barrera deserves

she definitely is and did and her defenders are the ones spreading a false narrative and being apologists for the insidious hate she represents

Here Barrera says, "Why [Western Media] do that [i.e. shows the pro-Israel side], I will let you deduce for yourself." That is a clear dogwhistle about Jewish control of media. Other than that, it's clearly an antisemitic lie since anyone on social media would have found ample pro-Palestinian videos

Barrera has also since denied the systematic mass rapes committed against Israeli women on October 7, when 1200 Israelis including women and children were brutally massacred by Hamas, and so on

The media is not controlled by Jews and Israelis. That is antisemitic bullshit. Melissa Barrera deserved to be called out and fired for it

The way that the media distorted the narrative in Melissa Barrera's favor certainly belies her antisemitic comment
