They include <em>Der ewige Jude<\/em> (<em>The Eternal Jew<\/em>), <em>The Rothschilds&#8217; Shares in Waterloo<\/em>, and <em>Jud S\u00fcss<\/em>\u00a0(<em>Suss the Jew<\/em>), among many others. The films are either on sale in Amazon&#8217;s online portal or available for streaming on its Amazon Prime video network.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon has repeatedly grappled with anti-Semitic content in its store. In 2019, for instance, it was caught <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2019\/12\/01\/business\/amazon-auschwitz-christmas-ornament.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">selling<\/a> Christmas ornaments covered in pictures of Auschwitz, the infamous Nazi death camp that killed millions of Jews. In 2020, the retail giant made an about-face when it decided to stop selling works by Ku Klux Klan leaders, Adolf Hitler, and other prominent purveyors of anti-Semitism. The retail site was originally committed to selling such works but reversed its stance amid a flurry of criticism that it was helping to spread anti-Jewish sentiment.<\/p>\n<p>Amazon did not respond to a <em>Free Beacon<\/em> request for comment about its large library of Nazi propaganda films.<\/p>\n<p>Dov Hikind, a former Democratic New York City lawmaker and the founder of Americans Against Anti-Semitism, said Amazon must clarify its policy on these films. While the First Amendment protects such hate speech, Hikind said Amazon should be embarrassed about profiting from such material.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;It&#8217;s beyond unacceptable,&#8221; Hikind said. &#8220;I don&#8217;t believe this is an issue that needs debating, it&#8217;s so clear-cut, so indefensible that we expect Amazon to correct this horrifying hate-for-profit scheme immediately. Frankly, they should be ashamed of themselves for allowing so much hate to literally stream through their platforms. There is no excuse for it, I don&#8217;t care what they say.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Amazon\u2019s latest anti-Semitism scandal comes amid a global rise in violence against Jews. The American Jewish Committee, which tracks anti-Semitism rates, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ajc.org\/AntisemitismReport2021?utm_campaign=report2021&amp;utm_source=print&amp;utm_medium=release&amp;utm_content=AntisemitismReport21release\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">reported in October<\/a> that nearly one out of every four Jewish Americans reported experiencing anti-Semitism in 2021. The study was the largest ever of American Jews and of U.S. public opinion on anti-Semitism.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Antisemitism has remained a constant in the lives of many American Jews,&#8221; the American Jewish Committee said of its findings. Jews have been &#8220;beaten in city streets, subjected to hateful vitriol, and intimidated on social media.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>The U.S. Commission on Civil Rights\u00a0also expressed concern last June about the sharp rise in Jew hatred. &#8220;Anti-Semitic incidents in the U.S. doubled compared to 2020,&#8221; the commission<a href=\"https:\/\/www.usccr.gov\/files\/2021\/07-23-Anti-Semitism-Statement-2021.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> reported<\/a>. &#8220;The Anti-Defamation League recorded 251 incidents, including assault, vandalism, and harassment, from May 11 to May 31, which is a 115 percent increase from the same time period in 2020.&#8221; This increase includes a massive uptick in online anti-Semitic language, including on social media sites such as Facebook and Twitter.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;These incidents of hate and fearmongering undermine freedom of religion guaranteed within the United States Constitution,&#8221; the commission said. &#8220;The spike in anti-Semitism cannot be normalized as political rhetoric.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Culture &#8216;Amazon is presently the world&#8217;s largest purveyor of original Nazi propaganda films,&#8217; watchdog group says  Poster for Nazi propaganda film &#8216;Jud S\u00fcss&#8217; \/ Wikimedia Commons &#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":117,"featured_media":2315279,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_mo_disable_npp":"","fifu_image_url":"","fifu_image_alt":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-1205524","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205524","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/117"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1205524"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1205524\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2315279"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1205524"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1205524"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1205524"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
