Hallmark’s making some Hanukkah movies. The only problem? They’re anti-Semitic.

These holiday specials are really Christmas movies with Jewish characters, and they draw on old, dangerous tropes.

For the record, I don’t agree that President Trump invoked a “trope” when he referred to someone doing some shifty things as “shifty.” Remarking on someone Jewish in unflattering ways isn’t itself antisemitic. However, the idea that Chanukah is “merely” Jewish Xmas or that Jews are somehow “missing out” by not celebrating Xmas is absurd. We literally have holidays every month of the year except one and in some cases-multiple holidays. That they also felt compared to make the Jewish characters into cliches worthy of the worst types of antisemitic European tropes is disgusting. Hallmark shouldn’t be making movies about holidays that they do NOT understand, and don’t lend themselves to sugary, sappy, empty confections of predictable, mindless nonsense.

Hallmark Channel Blasted For Lack Of Inclusion, Diversity

The Hallmark Channel has now been scrutinized for having a lack of religious and racial diversity during its “Countdown to Christmas” programming. According to The Hollywood Reporter (THR), the Hallmark Channel featured just four movies this y

1. The percentage of movies with black leads already matches the general population, and actually slightly exceeds it 2. I’m Jewish and the article is correct: Chanukah hasn’t been as commercialized and I really want it to stay that way. Hallmark’s gooey formula does not fit Chanukah and I am glad that they don’t try to fit it into that formula. So once again the idea that “equality” equals sameness is just another example of leftist stupidity.
