Actor John Cusack retweets antisemitic image
On Monday afternoon, John Cusack retweeted a meme with an image of an arm emblazoned with a Jewish star, pressing down on people. Beside the image was a quote that read: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize,” citing Voltaire. The meme questioned “is it not obvious?” John Cusack commented: “Follow the money.”
Cusack later “unretweeted” his comment, the meme, and apologized:
A bot got me- I thought I was endorsing a pro Palestinian justice retweet - of an earlier post - it came I think from a different source -
