A Sesame Street social media post on Friday marking Jewish American Heritage Month drew a wave of hateful antisemitic comments, accusing the decades-old childrens show of spewing Jewish supremacy and propaganda.
The comments followed a post by Sesame Streets X account that reshared a preview of a segment that originally aired in May 2023, showing Jewish actress Kat Graham and the puppet Abby Cadabby asking viewers to join them in marking JAHM.
No one wants any more of this Jewish supremacy nonsense, antisemitic influencer Dan Bilzerian wrote in response to the post.
Great, a whole month just for Jews
like we dont hear about their victimhood every day of every other month, another user posted. Nope. Were not celebrating genocidal Zionists, which many/most are, another replied.

(56,176 posts)Yup. They don't even bother with masks anymore. Act of anti-Semitism takes place...Jews are to blame. It is becoming more and more obvious we aren't "American Jews" or "Jewish Americans", we are nothing more than Jews who live in America...for now.
