Jewish elite take action against Oliver Stone

Last Sunday, Oliver Stone gave an interview to The Sunday Times of London in which he made some very unflattering comments about Jews. Namely, that they control the media, were not the class most aggrieved by the Holocaust, etc. He issued an apology on Monday where he thanked "the very hard work of a broad coalition of people" for remembering the Holocaust (so hard, and for so long).

That first apology fell on deaf ears as this hard-working coalition of people are now seeking to keep his World War II series Secret History of America off Showtime. Pairing up against Stone is Jewish billionaire media proprietor Haim Saban, William Morris/ Endeavor head Ari Emmanuel (as portrayed by Jeremy Piven on Entourage), and CBS president Leslie Moonves.

Stone issued a second apology on Wednesday - slightly more heartfelt than the first - which the Anti-Defamation League has already accepted.

“I do agree that it was wrong of me to say that Israel or the pro-Israel lobby is to blame for America’s flawed foreign policy.  Of course that’s not true and I apologize that my inappropriately glib remark has played into that negative stereotype," the director said.

In a statement released Wednesday night, ADL national director Abraham Foxman welcomed the apology, saying, “I believe he now understands the issues and where he was wrong, and this puts an end to the matter.” The Jerusalem Post

ADL acceptance or not, little can stop the locomotive anger of Ari Gold. Whether Showtime keeps Secret History of America will make an interesting case study in, you know, Jewish Hollywood power.
