She was fired because people lied about facts and opinions she shared. That is wrong.
We cannot hand off decisions over who can work where to idiots on twitter who don't understand what the words they use actually mean.
It is not anti-Semitic to state facts about how the Nzis rose to power or what lead to the Holocaust. Especially since those facts do not reflect poorly on German Jews, only on their neighbors.
I really liked her character and her acting. She should not be fired because a few hypersensitive idiots on twitter got mad over things that didn't happen. She should sue them for libel. There is a list of twitter users linked from the summary who lied about what she said, leading to her losing her job. That is actionable. I'd sue Disney too.
But more importantly, we can't be making decisions on the basis of what a tiny sliver of the population says on twitter. Why should those angry morons have so much influence?

The execs are afraid that if they didn't take action, they'd be the next ones targeted by the twitter mob.
