Have i ever mentioned how much i love Jason Isaacs?

No. 

I’m so uncomfortable with the Goebbels comparison, I find it very inappropriate. 

Idk  @itsrevydutch Thoughts??? 

I’m actually okay with it. Jason Issacs is Jewish. This isn’t just some goy throwing buzzwords; He knew what he was saying. 

He has explicitly discussed how his Jewishness informed his portrayal and understanding of Lucius Malfoy in more than one interview: 

“It was interesting for me to play someone full of race hate. Every time Lucius Malfoy said ‘Muggle’ I thought ‘Jew’.“The character of Lucius is as far from a Jew as I will ever play. He is quite clearly a Nazi.”

“[Lucius] espouses the language of racism and eugenics…it’s not like I don’t understand racism, fear, bigotry and ignorance; being Jewish, I think, has brought me a more nuanced perspective on it than most…”

Also, he’s discussed how his parents contended with rabid antisemitism in both pre-and-post-war Britain. 

He knew what he was saying. The word choice was very, very deliberate. 

#I think there’s a difference between objectionable and inappropriate#It’s totally fair if other Jews find his decision to make a Holocaust comparison in this context objectionable#But as a Jew it’s not inappropriate for him to make it#I think that’s the distinction #He has a right to make that comparison as a Jew#Other Jews have the right to find it objectionable #Neither are wrong 

@tikkunolamorgtfo back at it again with them good good tags

I guess I should have put that in the post instead of the tags, but there we go!

Also, I would probably be remiss at this point not to add: “And hello to Jason Isaacs.”
