"US Special Envoy to Combat Antisemitism Deborah Lipstadt says she was 'shocked' by the speed at which so many began denying the atrocities committed by Hamas-led terrorists on October 7.
'I was shocked by the speed with which people were complaining about Israel’s response on October 8, 9th, 10th — before there was a response. It was truly truly disturbing,' Lipstadt says during a virtual event organized by her office.
The rape and sexual mutilation was 'celebrated' by some and questioned by others...
'It’s rooted in antisemitism,' she adds.
'MeToo, except for the Jew,' Lipstadt’s deputy Aaron Keyak chimes in."
