WATCH: Massachusetts School Board Member Calls Jew âKikeâ on Live TV Open season on Jews continues. Lowell School Committee member #BobHoey making his negative feelings about #Israel known in no uncertain terms pic.twitter.com/P0chruRpQh In case it wasn’t clear, my tweet is dripping with sarcasm. Almost every time antisemitism appears and I post about it, I am inundated with tweets and comments suggesting criticism of Israel is not antisemitism. Seriously. But back to the incident. What makes it even worse is after Hoey made the comment, the program continued for another 85 minutes without any guests condemning the slur.
