Several years ago, a non-Jewish film producer turned to me and announced, casually and with an air of arrogance and ignorance reserved particularly for bigots, Jews control Hollywood. He assured me this was a compliment, as many antisemites are wont, trotting out Neal Gablers seminal text on the subject, An Empire of Their Own: How the Jews Invented Hollywood, as evidence.

It's been one year since more than 1,000brands boycotted Facebook in an effort to stop hate speech.
