Actor John Cusack was widely criticized on Monday after tweeting an antisemitic image.
The actor – best known for Say Anything…, Being John Malkovich and High Fidelity – at first defended his retweet of the meme, before later backtracking, deleting it and apologizing.
Late on Monday Cusack tweeted the image, which features a hand emblazoned with a Star of David crushing a group of people. On the image is written a quote that is falsely attributed to the French philosopher Voltaire: “To learn who rules over you, simply find out who you are not allowed to criticize.” Cusack wrote in his tweet: “Follow the money.”
