Antisemite of the Week: Andrew Makadsi
It’s outrageous that Andrew Makadsi, Beyoncé’s Creative Director, is still spreading vile antisemitism while employed by Parkwood Entertainment—especially when the company is fully aware of his hateful actions and continues to tolerate it. Makadsi’s social media is a cesspool of retweets from notorious Jew-haters like Jill Stein, Briahna Joy Gray, Bassem Youssef, and Roger Waters. With a platform of 100,000 followers, he doesn’t engage in political discourse—he perpetuates dangerous hate speech and lies. Whether posing in a keffiyeh, Palestinian flag, or Hamas-associated imagery, Makadsi’s message is clear: he doesn’t support the Palestinian liberation from Hamas—he just openly hates Jews. On multiple occasions, Makadsi has openly called for the death of those who support Israel. In one instance, he told his Instagram audience, “Death to all zios and their followers.” Another came during Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to the U.S., when Makadsi posted a photo of Israel-supporting politicians with the caption, “***** to them all inshalla.” The blurred word almost certainly translates to “death to them all, God willing.”
Andrew Makadsi’s X post from July 2024 Perhaps the most repulsive take by Makadsi is his continual denial of the atrocities on 10/7, specifically denying the brutal sexual assaults committed by Hamas. After Vice President Kamala Harris spoke at the Democratic National Convention, Makadsi took to X to retweet comments berating Harris for “regurgitating the Israeli rape lies.” Not only does he unequivocally deny the Hamas rapes, he also pushes the narrative that Israelis are protesting their “right” to rape Palestinian prisoners. This is an offensive, outlandish, and thoroughly debunked claim.
Andrew Makadsi’s X post from September 2024 In addition to falsely accusing Israel of rape and genocide, Makadsi claims the country is butchering children and blames Vice President Harris for supplying bombs to a nation that’s “killed more kids in the last year than all other global conflicts combined.” Where Makadsi gets these figures is anyone’s guess, but they sound suspiciously like propaganda from the Hamas-run Ministry of Health. Reposting blatant falsehoods without fact-checking is not just ignorant—it’s dangerously irresponsible.
Andrew Makadsi’s X post from August 2024 It takes a truly depraved individual to mock the death of someone killed in a terrorist attack. Yet, when the tragic news broke that US-Israeli dual citizen Itay Chen was murdered on October 7th—not held hostage—Makadsi joined the despicable chorus on social media seemingly celebrating the killing. According to him, Chen’s death was “acceptable” because he was an “IOF soldier” killed by other “IOF soldiers.” The term “Israeli Offense Forces,” used by Israel-haters like Makadsi, is a deliberate attempt to paint Israel as the aggressor and justify further atrocities.
Andrew Makadsi’s Instagram story from August 2024 Additionally: Makadsi twists the recent Israeli attack on Hezbollah terrorists in an X post calling it a “random, scattered, uncontrolled bombing campaign against civilians.” This attack was extremely precise, only going after those in possession of devices used for terrorist communication. Makadsi remained silent when Hezbollah murdered 12 children in the Druze community while they were playing soccer. He seemingly supports the college protestors, the same protestors that have endangered the lives of Jewish students on campus, and mocked NYU for protecting Zionist students. Makadsi backed the nomination of “journalist” and former “Antisemite of the Week” Bisan Owda, who has ties to the PLO, a terrorist organization. It is absolutely appalling that one of the world’s most influential celebrities continues to employ a known Jew-hater, even after his blatant antisemitism has been brought to their attention. Parkwood Entertainment’s refusal to cut ties with Andrew Makadsi speaks volumes about where their values truly lie. By keeping him on their payroll, they’re not just tolerating antisemitism – they’re endorsing it. Imagine being a Jewish employee at Parkwood, forced to watch your employer sanction and excuse Jew-hatred. It’s a disgrace and a betrayal of any claim to inclusivity or respect.

Mike Qasem – Content Specialist Mike Qasem is a California-based content specialist with META who used his X to share disturbing antisemitic rhetoric claiming Hamas doesn’t commit war crimes, refers to Israel as a “supremacist state,” romanticizes the 10/7 kidnappings, and more antisemitic blood libel. Thankfully, Meta has cut ties with him. Sarah Rhee – Hearing Specialist Sarah Rhee, a California-based hearing specialist, is yet another antisemitic healthcare worker. She claims Israelis train dogs to rape Palestinians, compares Zionists to Nazis, and calls for the abolition of Zionists, essentially calling for the eradication of Jews. After her hatred was exposed, she has been put on leave by her employer, Advanced Ear Care. 10/7 License Plate – Removed StopAntisemitism was aghast by an Illinois license plate celebrating October 7th. After thousands filed complaints under StopAntisemitism’s campaign with the state of Illinois, it has now been recalled.
