Holocaust Scholar ‘Cancelled’ After Refusing to Denounce Israel

Dark Horse Comics canceled the publication of Dr. Rafael Medoff’s book, Cartoonists Against the Holocaust, after he refused an editor's demand to include text denouncing Israel. The editor, Craig Yoe, allegedly required Medoff to accuse Israel of "war crimes and crimes against humanity" and claim "concentration camp-style prisons" exist in the U.S. Medoff stated, "Accusing Israel of genocide is a lie, and requiring a Holocaust scholar to denounce Israel to see his book published is antisemitic bullying." This incident is part of a broader trend of Jewish public figures facing "cancelation" or ideological litmus tests since October 7, 2023, as noted by organizations like StandWithUs Saidoff Law.
