ADL SAYS CANDIDATE BARRANCO WRONG TO EQUATE DEMOCRATIC POLICIES TO THOSE OF THE NAZIS New York, NY, March 9, 2021 ADL (Anti-Defamation League) today condemned remarks made by Republican New Jersey state legislature candidate Christian Barranco equating recent policies of the Democratic Party to those of the Nazis during World War II.

"Orthodox Jews are frequently, distressingly misrepresented on screen," said Allison Josephs, founder of Jew in the City. "When any minority group is inaccurately depicted, the ramifications are real and can be dangerous, as our fellow underrepresented New Yorkers know too well. We applaud NBC's removal of a recent episode from circulation and hope to build on the conversation by supporting creators who want to include Orthodox Jewish characters in film and television." Josephs contends it should become standard practice to consult with Orthodox Jews before portraying them on-screen.To facilitate more truthful depictions, JITC introduced The Josephs Test, a simple checklist developed by screenwriter Yael Levy to help creators and viewers evaluate whether a rendering seems reasonable and accurate.The Josephs Test was modeled after the widely respected Bechdel-Wallace test, which assesses the representation of women in fiction

WILL SELFon what to do when confronted by racism. "You know,"said Annette, a woman from Cote dIvoire with whom Ive struck up an acquaintance while queuing for the post office, "some people say Hitler had the right idea."I shook my head, as if to dispel this meshegas, while nevertheless continuing the conversation: "What makes you say that?" "Well, the Jews now own all the media and the money, yeah so Hitler, he was only getting a sort of head-start." Holocaust denial is something you might expect to find anywhere, including south London but Holocaust support?
