Actor John Cusack tweets antisemitic image, then deletes it saying it was a 'bot'

After he deleted it, he wrote: "A bot got me".

This implies he did not deliberately share the image but then he added: "I thought I was endorsing a pro Palestinian justice retweet - of an earlier post - it came I think from a different source - Shouldn’t Have retweeted."

Mr Cusack, who has starred in such films as High Fidelity and Say Anything, was condemned for his tweet.

Journalist Yair Rosenberg said it was "blatantly antisemitic".

"The fact that in 2019 a celebrity can opnely share anti-Jewish stuff like this and genuinely think it's politically OK tells you a lot about why Israel became necessary and remains so," he wrote.
