(Jewish Group) #Antisemitism: J.K. Rowling calls out racist tweeters
(THIS IS THE JEWISH GROUP! RESPECT!!).K. Rowling, multimillionaire Harry Potter author, activist and philanthropist, is well known for her clever, snappy anti-discrimination tweets and statements.
In a succession of tweets on Monday, Rowling called out several Twitter users expressing antisemitic accusations with the caption, "From the examples of antisemitic discourse in the IHRA’s definition of #antisemitism."
Rowling responded to a tweet attacking Netanyahu, the state of Israel and, by extension, the Jewish community following the criticism against British Labour leader Jeremy Corbyn.
Corbyn recently became a focus of fire following reports of him having attended a conference with Hamas officials in 2012, endorsing BDS and laying a wreath on the grave of a terrorist involved in the Munich murders of Jewish sportsmen.
