Arnold Schwarzenegger's Powerful Call to Action
Concerned about the rising tide of hate and antisemitism spreading throughout the world, the iconic film star issued a thoughtful, impassioned call to action to those who find themselves "thinking anyone is inferior or out to get you because of their religion or the color of their skin or their gender."
Moved to action by his visit to Auschwitz where approximately 1.1 million Jews were killed by Nazis, Schwarzenegger speaks directly to the camera in this video, telling antisemites there's still a way to get off the hate train by fighting the war inside their mind where hateful ideology and lies have taken hold.

It's so important that well-known personalities seen as "heroes" come out and speak as directly as Arnold has. I have hope that this kind of communication will have a positive effect on those led astray by ridiculous, lie-filled propaganda.

I agree. Arnold is an icon of masculinity and physical power, so maybe his message can resonate with men who believe hatred is an ointment for their feelings of weakness and disempowerment.
