The Conference on Jewish Material Claims Against Germany commissioned a recent survey, which found a shocking number of young people in the state of New York believe Jews caused the Holocaust.

ViacomCBS dropped Nick Cannon after he tried to spread anti-Semitic conspiracies on his podcast. The company said it "troubled" them because he "failed to acknowledge or apologize" for his actions. However, Cannon told Fast Company that he "can’t wait to sit down with" rabbis who contacted him about his remarks. He wants them to educate him and have an open dialogue about the topic.

We all know Pink Floyd musician Roger Waters hates Jews and Israel. He doesn't hide his anti-Semitism. Now he is spreadling the falsehood that Israel taught U.S. police the tactic used on George Floyd.
