Julianna Margulies also claimed some authority on the LGBTQ+ community “As someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show”
The Good Wife star Julianna Margulies is facing backlash for her comments on the “Black community” and LGBTQ+ people in relation to the violent conflict in Israel and Palestine. Margulies had previously written an op-ed in USA Today condemning friends’ silence around recent Hamas attacks as antisemitism; her appearance on Andy Ostroy’s Back Room podcast expanded upon the subject, in a much more inflammatory manner. Her remarks have been deemed by some listeners as racist, Islamaphobic, and homophobic, as she seemed to claim some authority on the lesbian experience “as someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show” (via The Hollywood Reporter).
Discussing the current political climate as it regards Israel and Palestine, Margulies said she has shown up for anti-racist causes (“I put a black screen on my Instagram”) and LGBT causes alike (“I made a commercial for same-sex marriages with my husband in 2012”). When Ostroy suggested there’s less pushback on antisemitism than “if we use the wrong pronouns on college campuses,” Margulies added, “It’s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate, that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country—these people who want us to call them they/them, or whatever they want us to call them, which I have respectfully made a point of doing—it’s those people that will be the first people beheaded and their heads played with like a soccer ball. And that’s who they’re supporting? Terrorists who don’t want women to have their rights? LGBTQ people get executed.”
Margulies followed up this violent imagery by citing an example of a “Black lesbian club on the Columbia campus” that advertised a film night with “signs that said, ‘no Jews allowed.’” (The flier reportedly read “Zionists aren’t invited,” according to The Columbia Spectator.) “As someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show, I am more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew,” she said. “Because I wanna say to them, ‘You fucking idiots. You don’t exist. You’re even lower than the Jews. A. You’re Black, and B. You’re gay and you’re turning your back against the people who support you?’ Because Jews, they rally around everybody.”
She went on to say, “In the civil rights movement, the Jews were the ones that walked side by side with the Blacks to fight for their rights. And now the Black community isn’t embracing us and saying, ‘We stand with you the way you stood with us.’” Discussing the similarities between the Jim Crow South and Nazi Germany, she later added, “The fact that the entire Black community isn’t standing with us to me says either they just don’t know, or they’ve been brainwashed to hate Jews.”
As the conversation continued, a heated Margulies said, “Here’s what kills me. These kids are calling Jews colonialists. If you’re gonna go with that argument, kids, then get the fuck out of America. Because you were not here first. Native Americans were here first and you owe them a big fucking apology.”
Meanwhile the Godless Reprobate United Nations awaits their Antichrist
Well, she is telling the truth. No wonder the left has their panties in a wad.
Perpetual victims do not want anyone else to be considered a victim. The entire Democrat constituency is nothing but victims. The island of misfit toys
She’s 100 percent right but ya know in the coming days she will be forced to make a public apology for saying the TRUTH

It is called reactionary to try and define America by its land or ethnicity. Isn't "Blood and Soil" a racist chant?
So we are stuck with "American is an idea." But what idea is that? A Constitution that is strictly interpreted or one that is "living"? A land of liberty or one of freedom, where liberty is defined as the freedom to do things we ought to do rather than the libertine freedom to do whatever gets our rocks off?
Are we a Christian country or an agnostic one? Did God have something to do with America's good fortune until the 60's, or is the belief in God a stumbling block that prevents America from realizing "true" equality?
No blood. No soil. No idea. Ergo No Empire and not even a country anymore.
So, will her apology say that they were right al along t hate Jews? How much will people have to cave?
Well DUH!!!
Most American blacks are Protestant. However, unlike their white evangelical counterparts, black ministers have not been strong supporters of Israel. Dr. Tony Evans is a strong supporter, but I can't think of any others.
Fools like Julianne Margolies believe that the radical Left would support Israel because left leaning Jews have supported their causes. They forget Stalin turned against the Jews, many of whom supported the Bolsheviks.
Yes
Many, if not all, the blacks who hate Jews and Israel, are American muslims.
She’s already catching hell on Twitter for it, too.
Everything is RACIST!
The roads, trees, lawns, dogs, playgrounds, sidewalks, houses, cars etc etc etc etc etc etc are RACIST!
The fact that she played a lesbian news anchor on a TV show does not make her a lesbian or give her lesbian street cred.
Actors have a tendency to confuse fantasy with reality. The rest of what she said about blacks being the most anti semitic identity group in the Dem family is true.
She was hot and mysterious as Alecia Florrick. After The Good Wife ended, she said some stupid lefty stuff and I figured she was a lost Hollywood cause but apparently she gets it, at least on this issue anyway. American Blacks have been brainwashed to hate jews. It goes back to the early 20’th century when the Soviet Union sent commies to ‘help’ the downtrodden blacks, and inculcate certain ‘values’ that remain to this day.
I might add that you don’t see anti-semitism amongst Caribbean or latin American blacks, or British blacks... only American blacks, and they probably couldn’t pick a jew out of a police line-up anyway.
Amazing amount of entitlement here.
