Sesame Street post honoring US Jews draws intense wave of antisemitic hate

A Sesame Street social media post on Friday marking Jewish American Heritage Month drew a wave of hateful antisemitic comments, accusing the decades-old children’s show of spewing “Jewish supremacy” and “propaganda.”

The comments followed a post by Sesame Street’s X account that reshared a preview of a segment that originally aired in May 2023, showing Jewish actress Kat Graham and the puppet Abby Cadabby asking viewers to join them in marking JAHM.

“No one wants any more of this Jewish supremacy nonsense,” antisemitic influencer Dan Bilzerian wrote in response to the post.

“Great, a whole month just for Jews …like we don’t hear about their victimhood every day of every other month,” another user posted. “Nope. We’re not celebrating genocidal Zionists, which many/most are,” another replied.

The antisemitism has always been there, but it's completely open and loud now.

Both are A-holes. Bilzerian seems like a real jerk.






Seems like a big ole food fight....Fine is also a big supporter of Azerbaijan.

Yup. They don't even bother with masks anymore. Act of anti-Semitism takes place...Jews are to blame. It is becoming more and more obvious we aren't "American Jews" or "Jewish Americans", we are nothing more than Jews who live in America...for now.
