Celebrity Antisemitism as Proxy Policing

Social‑media mobs increasingly target celebrities’ identities (here Jewishness) as shorthand for policing political alignment, forcing public statements of dissociation and turning private religious or ethnic belonging into a public litmus test. This is less about the individual’s actions than about using celebrities as convenient, high‑visibility proxies in foreign‑policy culture wars. — If this pattern spreads, it will institutionalize a novel antisemitism vector, distort entertainment hiring and promotion, and push platforms and studios to adopt new policies on identity‑based harassment and attribution.
