Margulies also claimed that Black and queer communities were not supportive enough of Israel following the October 7 attacks: “It’s those people [who use they/them pronouns] that will be the first people beheaded and their heads played with…like a soccer ball.”She also went on to say: “There was a film being shown by this Black lesbian club on Columbia’s campus, and they put signs up that said, ‘No Jews allowed’.” She also said “as someone who plays a lesbian journalist on The Morning Show, I’m more offended by it as a lesbian than I am as a Jew, to be honest with you.” The actress has since deleted her X/Twitter profile and turned off comments on Instagram.Now, Margulies has issued an apology for her comments in a statement to Deadline.
