    “By saying ‘Free Palestine,’ you’re not admitting what you really think,” said Seinfeld, who publicly embraces his Jewish heritage and has pushed back against critics of Israel.

    “Just say you don’t like Jews,” he said in reference to the movement, before comparing its supporters to members of the KKK.

    In that spirit, Jerry, maybe you should say what YOU really think. You’re a genocide apologist. Embrace it, instead of putting words in other peoples mouths.

      Weirdly, it is actually true that both the KKK and Hamas have bought support in their communities by doing good public works for people. It’s not what they are best known for, but I don’t think shadow organizations survive for long without building some support somehow.

        their “shadow support” that you can’t figure out is hate. Usually hate from religion. KKK are ALL christians, and use their religion to justify their hate. Hamas are ALL muslims, and use their religion to justify their hate. Israelis are ALL jews, and use their religion to justify their hate.

        Religions openly hate each other. They all have lived under the motto: There can only be one god(s), only one of us can be right. (even though some lie about that, too). They fight religious wars that last for thousands of years, and that’s how they look at you. A pawn so small that you can’t ever fit into a 1/10th of their next thousand year plan.

          We didn’t need two paragraphs to tell us religion has been divisive throughout history. However let’s not oversimplify. The black people terrorized by the KKK were also Christians. Fateh were also Muslims so Hamas didn’t steal their popular support just by being the right religion. Religion is a thing. Not the one and only thing going on.

        Not really that weird? Basically every organization does this or is immediately unsuccessful. The only exception is companies under a government that’s stable enough to carry water for them.

        This doesn’t mean that the organizations are a net benefit.

    So. after WW2 Jewish people can obliterate an entire population just because they were attacked. boohoohoo What if the USA did the same thing in Vietnam, Korea, Afganistan, Iraq, etc? How is starving civilians to death is this fucking right Israel? You are making yourselves the new German Party of 1933. Netanyahu is the new Hitler. He ignores the international community, just like Hitler, kills innocents and does not admit it, just like Hitler. He kills starving children ffs. How low do you want to go Israel before you become what you’ve feared for 80 years? It’s an international disgrace. Even trump is telling you to stop now, I mean WTF dudes?

          He not a “celeb” he’s a pedophile who met his wife while on her honeymoon and is horrid to fans… he’s definitely not liked by all means… definitely hate! Plus he’s not even funny, affliction at the end of so-called jokes and forced laughter is not funny… (all his standup) he’s trying to be relevant again but never will be…

          I mean. They do. But his only current relevance is saying stupid shit every few months to try and make the news. No one gives a shit about his projects anymore.

      Because some people are jerks who don’t want better people to enjoy life. Especially out of touch billionaires like Seinfeld.

      Yeah you can, just remember Larry David and the other writers who actually made it good.

      Edit: and the cast! So many iconic performances.

    Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?

    Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.

      Because they’re dishonest; unfortunately, it’s very effective in shutting down public conversations about what’s happening over there.

      That’s something someone says in “curb your enthusiasm”, but he also bakes the best pumpkin pie in town, so people have to pretend to not hear it.
