Really. That’s what he said. Watch for yourself:
So @jonstewart recently broke Hollywood's complete silence on @jk_rowling unapologetically maintaining antisemitic folklore through Harry Potter. pic.twitter.com/ezWrxpzryB

This is who Stewart is accusing of antisemitism?
And:
Nothing says 'our movement has no problem with antisemitism' than suggesting a man of Jewish ancestry is secretly motivated by fear of losing money. But thanks for tagging me in, @stafford4jc. If you hadn't, I wouldn't have been able to tell you to go fuck yourself. pic.twitter.com/m6xBbGrIvG

As a matter of fact, Rowling has dozens of tweets calling out antisemitism on Twitter. Like this one:
Women and Jews quite literally deserve what they get.

Over to you, Jon Stewart:
Looking forward to Jon Stewart's comments on the non-veiled anti-Semitism of his successor https://t.co/LKCfqN8cvi

Sorry. It’s *their* rules:
And to all of those who are saying that Noah's tweets are years old, you made the rules. So did Stewart. First, JK Rowling's books and movies aren't anti-Semitic; second, Stewart is picking on them fully two decades later.
