Whoopi Goldberg. Look, I’m going to get to the point and try to make this short. I disagree with her statements. However, she shouldn’t have been canceled. This is what America is all about. Free speech. She should be challenged, yes, but shouldn’t be canceled.

When it comes to the holocaust, I believe that antisemitism is so powerful that something as tragic as the holocaust is challenged one way or another.

Whoopi said that this had nothing to do about race and it was one white group attacking another. I see why that’s confusing. Yes, the Nazis were killing white Jews. White Jews live in Europe and were in the radar of the Nazis. However the Nazis didn’t view Jews as white people that are a part of a religion. If that were the case, they’d do what Spain did at one point and force the Jews to abandon Judaism. Nazis killed people that had a Jewish grandparent, being only 25% Jewish and not even knowing about it. Their whole life they had no idea that they were 25% Jewish, but that was the requirement for Nazi persecution.

If the Nazis reached other parts of the world, where there are Jews that aren’t white, they would’ve killed them also. So Whoopi’s comments aren’t accurate. I am surprised that no one, not even conservatives like Ben Shapiro ever mention Jews that aren’t white. Mizrahi Jews, Sephardic, Indian, Ethiopian Jews. The reason Jews are considered a people and not just a religion is because they all come from the same place from some time ago. That’s why when a Jew converts to another religion, racists or prejudice people will always view them as a Jew that they hate, regardless of their religious practice.
