The Jewish-American actress expressed concern over the growing normalization of antisemitic remarks and the threat of violence.
Jewish-American actress Scarlett Johansson called out the alarming rise in antisemitism in a recent interview with Israel’s Channel 12 News, discussing concerns that it could lead to physical violence.
“People are making antisemitic comments and just assuming that you’re feeling the same way, and in those moments, I always feel it’s such a tightrope walk,” the 40-year-old New York City native said.
“Whenever people are spewing any kind of hate, I always am concerned that they are going to be physically violent as well, and so it’s a scary dilemma to find yourself in, those moments,” Johansson said.
