And I understand. I felt differently. I respect everything everyone is saying to me. I don\u2019t want to fake apologize,\u201d she added. \u201cI am very upset that people misunderstood what I was saying. And because of it they are saying I am anti-Semitic, and denying the Holocaust, and all these other things that would never occur to me to do.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cHave you come to understand that the Nazis saw it as race?\u201d Colbert asked. \u201cAsking the Nazis, they would say, \u2018Yes, it\u2019s a racial issue.\u2019\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>\u201cThis is what\u2019s interesting to me because the Nazis lied. It wasn\u2019t,\u201d Goldberg said, and then attempted to split hairs by suggesting it was an ethnic issue rather than a racial one. \u201cThey \u2014 they had issues with ethnicity, not with race, because most of the Nazis were white people and most of the people they were attacking were white people. So to me, I\u2019m thinking, how can you say it\u2019s about race if you are fighting each other?\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<p>Daily Wire editor emeritus Ben Shapiro <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/its-insidious-ben-shapiro-breaks-down-how-whoopi-goldbergs-holocaust-comments-cover-for-anti-semitism\">called Goldberg\u2019s remarks<\/a> \u201cnot just insipid, but insidious,\u201d adding, \u201cAnti-Semitism, in this theory, is only present when it springs from actual white supremacists. Other acts of anti-Semitism are just a reflection of the dispossessed lashing out against those who have more institutional power,\u201d Shapiro concluded. \u201cThe attempt to abstract the causes of the Holocaust from Jew-hatred to \u2018man\u2019s inhumanity to man\u2019 is actually a way of obscuring and covering for anti-Semitism.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>This is a breaking news story.
