This is the first I’ve heard of it, but here’s one of his infamous quotes:

"There is a trait in the Jewish character that does provoke animosity, maybe it’s a kind of lack of generosity towards non-Jews.

I mean, there’s always a reason why anti-anything crops up anywhere; even a stinker like Hitler didn’t just pick on them for no reason.”

His other quotes tend to be condemnation about specifically Israeli zionism and barbaric murder, but i don’t have context as to whether he’s referring to palestine or not. Some people might have more sympathy for these statements these days, but a lot of his other quotes have to do with Jews controlling money and media, less defensible prejudice.

    I won’t watch a Woody Allen film anymore. I won’t watch the work of a pedophile.

    I already had one Lemming absolutely lose their shit when I challenged them on this assumption, I hope you won’t be another one. Do you have any evidence to back up your claim?

        She was 7. I know I don’t have many memories from that age I can be 100% confident about.

        The simple fact is that neither of us know for sure what, if anything, happened. That’s why I find it curious when people jump to the “he’s 100% guilty” point of view.

        “During the investigation the Connecticut State Police referred Dylan to the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of Yale–New Haven Hospital, which concluded that Allen had not sexually abused Dylan and the allegation was probably coached or influenced by Mia Farrow. The New York Department of Social Services found “no credible evidence” to support the allegation.”

          It happened to me when I was 8 (not by Woody Allen). I can still remember every detail. It sticks with you

          What sort of thing on that level of trauma happened to you when you were 7?

          Maybe believe victims.

            What sort of thing on that level of trauma happened to you when you were 7?

            Like I said, I don’t have many memories from that age and none I would be 100% confident about in their accuracy.

            Maybe believe victims.

            Good grief, no. Take victims seriously, give them support, get their story, investigate, absolutely. Believe everything everybody says who identifies as a victim? That’s asinine.

            Scroll up, you didn’t answer my question. You’re choosing to believe something based on what evidence? Please explain why you’re certain when the people who actually investigated these allegations are not.

              That is not an answer. What sort of thing on that level of trauma happened to you when you were 7? Because, believe it or not, people remember traumatic things that happen to them at that age quite well. They spend years in therapy because of it.

              There’s a difference between remembering something traumatic and remembering what happened at your birthday party.

              Also, let’s say she isn’t “100% confident.” Let’s say she’s “70% confident.” Maybe still believe her.

              The man literally made a movie, at age 44, where he’s fucking a high schooler.

              Again, maybe believe her.

                “On August 17, 1992, the Connecticut State Police announced that they were investigating the molestation allegation. In September the police referred Dylan to the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic of Yale New Haven Hospital. The main questions were whether Dylan was telling the truth and whether she was sexually abused. Frank Maco, State’s Attorney for the Litchfield district, declared in 1997 that he asked the Child Sexual Abuse Clinic to evaluate whether Dylan would make a viable witness. The clinic’s professionals met with the police and Maco for preliminary information. Between September 18 and November 13 they conducted nine separate interviews with Dylan and her mother. On October 14 they interviewed Groteke, and between November 17 and January 7 they had three interviews with Allen. Finally, they met with Farrow to review the recording she had made of Dylan between August 5 and 6. Berge, the other nanny present on August 4, was also interviewed, as were the two psychotherapists treating the children, Coates and Nancy Schultz. The Child Sexual Abuse Clinic medical director, Dr. John M. Leventhal, signed the team’s report while Dylan was interviewed by the social workers. Completed in March 1993, the report concluded: “It is our expert opinion that Dylan was not sexually abused by Mr. Allen.””

                You’re still refusing to answer a simple question. More to the point, what on earth gives you the confidence to pass judgement from a distance when your judgement is 100% at odds with experts who were directly involved in the case?

                Again, maybe believe her.

                You piss off the wrong person, they go to the police with a story that you committed a violent sexual assault against them. You didn’t.

                By your logic, you’re a rapist.

                See how stupid that is?

                  The only question I can see that I haven’t answered is the one you asked after I asked you what sort of thing on that level of trauma happened when you were seven.

                  I’m not sure why you expect me to answer any of your questions when you have refused to answer the one I asked you twice.

                    I answered as best as I could. What do you want me to say?

                    Notice I’ve supplied you with plenty of information from people who are far, far more familiar with this matter than you or I.

                    It speaks volumes that you’re completely unwilling to engage with it.

              You would make a great witness to the a crime…I would love you if I was defending.
