Arnold Schwarzenegger is perhaps one of the most established individuals in Hollywood. We are no strangers to the legacy of The Terminator star that extends beyond acting. At the same time, Schwarzenegger is among the few Hollywood celebrities who use their stardom and influence to aware people. Throughout his career, the Austrian Oak has been highly vocal about various issues that concern him. Not long ago, Schwarzenegger even spoke a great deal about the growing anti-semitism

Back in April, the Kindergarten Cop star confronted the rise of anti-semitism in the US through his YouTube channel. Schwarzenegger spoke in great detail, and he bashed all the individuals spreading hate toward Jews. He added how there “has never been a successful movement based on hate.” Not only did the video take the internet by storm, Schwarzenegger will be honored for his efforts. Recently, the actor took to Twitter shortly after receiving the accolade.

Following Schwarzenegger’s video on YouTube, the actor became subject to immense praise from the masses. Moreover, the Holocaust Museum LA announced they would honor The Terminator star at its 15th Annual Gala. The event will take place in November this year at the Beverly Hills Hotel, where Schwarzenegger will receive the courage award. Meanwhile, he took to Twitter and expressed his gratitude for the same. 

The Austrian Oak began by thanking Jonathan Greenblatt for congratulating and praising him for his efforts. In addition to that, Schwarzenegger made a plea to the audience to watch his video. Schwarzenegger concluded his tweet by encouraging people by writing, “I hope you’re strong enough to watch something that challenges you.” 

As of late, Schwarzenegger’s video on anti-semitism has gathered nearly 800,000 views.

The anti-semitism video by Schwarzenegger saw the actor bash out all those spreading hate against Jews. Not only did he speak a great deal about Nazism and rising anti-semitism, he even took a sly dig at rapper Kanye West. Ye, as we all know, made some very questionable remarks about Jews last year.

In what seemed like a dig at the ‘Flashing Lights’ hitmaker, the Austrian Oak spoke, “I’ve seen enough people throw away their futures for hateful beliefs.” Allegedly, Schwarzenegger was referencing Ye’s downfall following his anti-semitic remarks that affected him a great deal financially and personally.
