Jew People

You People, a “romantic comedy” that premiered on Netflix on Jan. 27 (International Holocaust Remembrance Day, as well as the day on which seven Jews were murdered by Palestinian terrorists in a synagogue in Israel), has been generating considerable blowback for its tone-deaf treatment of antisemitism. Marketed as an updated Look Who’s Coming to Dinner that revolves around an engaged couple, the Jewish Ezra Cohen (Jonah Hill) and the Black Muslim Amira Mohammed (Lauren London), who together set out to bridge cultural divides between their two families, the film is, in the eyes of many Jews, an offensive shanda.
