Is anti-semitism the only un-cancellable offense?

Since Berry’s tweet, three current NFL players have spoken up. Zach Banner, who has Jewish relatives, made a powerful video; Julian Edelman and Mitchell Schwartz, who are Jewish, made statements and videos as well. But other than those three players who either are Jewish or have Jewish relatives, nobody has spoken up.

Celebrities can be “cancelled” for innumerable offenses. And yet there is one type of hatred that gets a pass: anti-Semitism.

Celebrities can post about their love of Louis Farrakhan — a person who has called Hitler a “great man” — they can post anti-Semitic conspiracy theories and they can claim that Jews are aiming for “world domination.” They can do all of this with no fear of being cancelled. Nobody has been so far.
