On Fox News’ Outnumbered, Rabbi Mentz discussed a Cornell student’s blatant rejection of a job interview, saying ‘Not interested in working for a jew,’ which the university flagged as antisemitism. He used the movie analogy to capture the shock of overt bigotry, but clips spread widely online where critics accused him of comparing non-Jews to apes. Defenders see it as symbolizing vulnerability to prejudice, highlighting deep divides in how people view antisemitism claims on campuses.

Fox News brought on a Rabbi today.
He compared gentiles to “apes” and Jews to “humans”.
How is this allowed to air in a Christian nation?

This screed is the result of Austin Franco declining to work at Gabe Einhorn’s real estate startup, VrfyID; when he did, he was doxxed and the incident reported as a bias crime:
Well, this ought to cheese you freaks off:
“Thank you for all the support and job offers!”
