\t\t\t\t<\/p>\n Julianna Margulies<\/strong><\/a> is apologizing for her comments accusing Black and queer people of being antisemitic for their support of Palestine amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas war. <\/p>\n The 57-year-old actress came under fire for remarks she made on the November 20 episode of Andy Ostroy<\/strong>\u2018s Back Room<\/a><\/em> podcast. <\/p>\n \u201cIt\u2019s those kids who are spewing this antisemitic hate, that have no idea if they stepped foot in an Islamic country \u2014 these people who want us to call them they\/them, or whatever they want us to call them, which I have respectfully made a point of doing \u2014 it\u2019s those people that will be the first people beheaded and their heads played with like a soccer ball. And that\u2019s who they\u2019re supporting? Terrorists who don\u2019t want women to have their rights? LGBTQ people get executed,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n Julianna<\/strong> then falsely claimed that a \u201cBlack lesbian club\u201d at Columbia University put up signs that read \u201cNo Jews allowed.\u201d In reality, the signs said \u201cZionists aren\u2019t invited,\u201d per the New York Post<\/a><\/em>.<\/p>\n \u201cAs someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show<\/em>, I am more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew,\u201d she said. \u201cBecause I wanna say to them, \u2018You f\u2014ing idiots. You don\u2019t exist. You\u2019re even lower than the Jews. A. You\u2019re Black, and B. You\u2019re gay and you\u2019re turning your back against the people who support you?\u2019 Because Jews, they rally around everybody.\u201d<\/p>\n On Friday (December 1), Julianna<\/strong> issued an apology for her offensive comments, which were criticized by many across the internet.<\/p>\n Keep reading to find out more\u2026<\/em><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cI am horrified by the fact that statements I made on a recent podcast offended the Black and LGBTQIA+ communities, communities I truly love and respect,\u201d she said in a statement obtained by Deadline<\/a>. \u201cI want to be 100% clear: Racism, homophobia, sexism, or any prejudice against anyone\u2019s personal beliefs or identity are abhorrent to me, full stop. Throughout my career I have worked tirelessly to combat hate of all kind, end antisemitism, speak out against terrorist groups like Hamas, and forge a united front against discrimination. I did not intend for my words to sow further division, for which I am sincerely apologetic.\u201d<\/p>\n If you haven\u2019t seen, an A-list celebrity recently put out a statement after sharing a controversial post concerning the Israel-Hamas war<\/a>. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p><\/div>\n
