The actor accused the group ‘StopAntisemitism’ of ‘weaponizing racism against peace activists’
Actor John Cusack hit back after the non-profit watchdog group StopAntisemitism named him “anti-Semite of the week” in a post on X.
“Wow! A list full of lies,” replied the “Say Anything” star.

👉🏼 denied the mass rapes of 10/7
👉🏼 called Hamas a “charitable organization”
👉🏼 insanely claimed “Hamas was financed by the Israeli government”Why is @APAagency repping this bigot?

In the caption, the group accused him of denying the mass rapes that occurred on October 7, calling Hamas a “charity” and claiming that the Israeli government funds Hamas.

In a separate response, Cusack accused the organization, along with the International Legal Forum, of “weaponize racism against peace activists.”
“This is defamation. I want to know if the people who follow them know this and if they do, do they condone this despicable behaviour?’the actor wrote.
Responding to another X user who defended him as not being anti-Semitic, Cusack called his critics’ accusations slanderous.
It’s just smear to distract
