No matter his accomplishments Walter Annenberg would never gain entrance to the Main Line Fox Hunting Society in the Philadelphia area. Jews were & are not allowed. Jane Fonda’s 2025 USC Annenberg School of Communication Commencement Address

 Walter Annenberg  created the two Annenberg Schools of Communication at Temple and University of Pennsylvania. He was Ambassador to England. These accomplishments weren’t enough to gain entrance to the Republican Main Line Fox Hunting Society. He was Jewish. They would never accept him. 

He made a winter home in California, Sunnylands and established the Annenberg School of Communication at the University of Southern California

I grew up in  1950s Coatesville PA surrounded by wealthy Main Line Chester County Republicans that hated Jews. 

Walter Annenberg  went out of his way to be accepted into the wealthy Main Line society of Philadelphia. Even becoming the U.S. Ambassador to Britain wasn't enough. They wouldn’t let him in. He was a Jew.

“When Walter Annenberg was publishing The Philadelphia Inquirer there was a bronze plaque on his desk. It read: Cause My Works on Earth to Reflect Honor on My Father's Memory. Annenberg remembers. His paper scorched his enemies. From the bastion of his power, he championed men who nursed their grudges -- Frank Rizzo, Richard Nixon -- and he holds grudges, too. People he perceived as questioning his honor -- the Main Line Philadelphians who banned him from their clubs, the diplomats who scorned him as overrich and gauche, the Britishers who laughed at the ripeness of his syntax, the publishers whose papers called attention to his father -- were not soon forgiven.”

Now Jew haters control the GOP.  If Israel was not in the middle of oil fields GOP Christofascist evangelicals would ignore my friends in Israel or worse.

“Tom Faw Driver, the Paul Tillich Professor Emeritus at Union Theological Seminary, expressed concern "that the worship of God in Christ not divide Christian from Jew, man from woman, clergy from laity, white from black, or rich from poor". To him, Christianity is in constant danger of Christofascism, stating that "[w]e fear christofascism, which we see as the political direction of all attempts to place Christ at the center of social life and history" and that "[m]uch of the churches' teaching about Christ has turned into something that is dictatorial in its heart and is preparing society for an American fascism”.^[4][5]”

RANCHO MIRAGE, CALIF. -- If you drive east from Los Angeles until the traffic thins, the mountains rise around you and the landscape turns to sand, if you find your way to Bob Hope Drive, turn right on Frank Sinatra and are cleared by the armed guards, it will surround you all at once. Nothing quite prepares you for the world that has been conjured here by ambassador Walter Annenberg. Pass the steel gate, and like a stage designer's trick, the sun-baked browns and grays, the dustiness and heat, disappear completely. Here the land is green as Oz.
