Who is talking about a right to not be offended?
He made offensive comments, so now people don't want to be involved with him because they feel offended. If a guy at work tells you he raped your mom every day you walked by his desk, wouldn't you try to avoid that guy at work?
Actions have consequences. He has a right to hate Jews and he has a right to express that hate if he chooses. He does not have a right to express that hate free and expect that nothing will change. He offended a lot of people and they have every right to choose to not go to his movies or be in his movies or anything else regarding him. Alternately, people who don't want to be tarnished by his newfound reputation as a bigot will avoid him or distance themselves from him.
Freedom of expression does not guarantee tolerance or acceptance of that expression.
