Sesame Street post honoring US Jews draws intense wave of antisemitic hate comments

A Sesame Street social media post on Friday marking Jewish American Heritage Month drew a wave of hateful antisemitic comments, accusing the decades-old children’s show of spewing “Jewish supremacy” and “propaganda.”

The comments followed a post by Sesame Street’s 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 don’t hear about their victimhood every day of every other month,” another user posted. “Nope. We’re not celebrating genocidal Zionists, which many/most are,” another replied.

“Propaganda. Getting into the minds of young impressionable children is brainwashing. Does anyone remember the Hitler Youth?” a user also commented.

Amid the wave of hate, some stepped in to support the post.

Happy #JewishAmericanHeritageMonth! Join us this May as we honor and celebrate our Jewish American friends and neighbors in our communities.???????? pic.twitter.com/324fyjW8SQ —........
