If anything good has come of this Israel-Palestine conflict thing, it has been exposing idiots.

And that’s basically it!
Specifically pretend-progressive idiots, for whom progess is great when it's for their approved groups.
Seinfeld is a known conservative. Has never been known as a progressive.
Says guy who never had to deal with the KKK.
This really calls attention to his overdeveloped sense of victimhood.
He needs another reason to whinge about being canceled.
Well, the KKK has never burned a cross on his lawn but the Free Palestine movement made him feel bad.
“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.
Nah, just have him say what he thinks about Palestinians and muslims. The rest follows.
Let's see, so we have
Free Palestine, a group that wants to stop the genocide and promote the freedom of Palestinians being murdered through no result of their own actions beyond simply existing.
The KKK, a group who expressly want to genocide and oppress the freedom of anyone non-white for just simply existing.
Jerry, you're telling on yourself here a bit
I mean, he spent decades trying to rehabilitate his pal Kramer after he melted down and shouted the n-word at members of his audience.
Now he’s saying he’s okay with genocide as long as the victims are brown or the wrong religion and they have real estate he’d like.
Seems like he’s consistent.
The Michael Richards incident was a literal one time event, albeit a terrible one. There were zero instances before and zero instances after that suggest Richards is racist. Everything since then Michaels has done suggests he’s exceedingly remorseful over it.
I am not excusing it in the least, but I don’t think it’s even close to fair to compare him to someone currently supporting the genocide in Palestine.
Jerry Seinfeld has always been a pompous piece of shit. Fuck him and his unfunny horsefaced “comedy”.
Oh, and he fucked a teenager at the height of his show. Release the files.
This is the truth. Once he got money, he turned into the asshole he was always wanted to be and oh, what an asshole he's blossomed into.
Now he's added piece of shit who likes genocide AND is entirely brain damaged about what the KKK does and has done.
Pretty solid work to show that you're a piece of shit, like murder and have zero clue about the KKK all in one go.
If this country is going up in flames, can we put the boomers on the front line? They love to talk a big game, let them live up to their own hype.
No one watches Seinfeld for Seinfeld.
Same effect with King of Queens.
I only watched that show for Jason Alexander. Although Duckman was his much better work.
Good thing I don’t take advice from pedos who "date" 17-year-olds when they’re 39 😃
He's always come off as a smug arrogant douche and he doesn't change this first impression the more he opens his mouth,
What's the deal with Israel, pedos and billionaires?
"Just say you hate Jews. Just tie me up and say Jews should die. Spank me and call me an evil little Jew. You know you want to."
"Mr Seinfeld, children are starving."
To be fair that is an absurdly funny statement, it's just a shame that he wasn't joking...
what a rubbish human. Fuck you, jerry (I'm not capitalising his name. he doesn't deserve it)
Does he have any respect left?
Honestly...like...who still thinks Jerry Seinfeld is a good person? Jerry Springer is a better person.
Who'd think that George would be the most respectable of the group 30 years later.
“The KKK is a little better than Free Palestine. The crisp white robes? The anonymity? They’re basically racist laundry!”
funky slap bass
Sorry Jerry but I don't hate Jews but I hate the government of Israel
Why do they keep trying to fuzz the terminology?
Zionists and Jews are not the same thing. They have very little in common.
Not really related but I'm having the weirdest time because I got on FB for the first time in a decade, and learned an old friend has transitioned and looks to be much happier now, so I'm excited, but their feed is FULL of zionist propaganda and it appears her entire identity is wrapped up in this now, so accepting her request would be a time bomb. Fuck, why everything gotta be this way now.
Jerry had more worthwhile things to say back when he had a show about nothing.
In retrospect, Seinfeld was a very dark show. Somewhere on YouTube there is an insightful little video essay about how the first few seasons of the show are basically the story of how Elaine, a perfectly decent person, gets drawn into their little circle and over time adopts their awful selfishness and sociopathic behavior to try to fit in. How most of the problems of the show are caused by their selfishness and dishonesty, and often involve significant harm coming to someone else, and they don't care.
I can't even remember which comedian it is, but someone had a bit about how the darkest joke he ever heard was a Seinfeld bit about being at the movie theater and just throwing his drink on the ground at the end for someone else to clean up. Like it's a small thing, but the guy talking about it was genuinely alarmed by the depth of how far he genuinely just doesn't give a fuck and doesn't mind if you know it.
He's a comedian. Is this a joke? How can someone honestly think this?
"What's the deaaal with unfunny, stupid comedians?"
Fuck Seinfeld
You might be too old for him.
Who, oh ya that soso comedian that got lucky with a tv show about nothing.
Useless twat.
He's a rich NYC Jew, running with rich NYC Jews. Who expected him to say anything else?!
“Because they can come right out and say, ‘We don’t like Blacks, we don’t like Jews.’ OK, that’s honest.'”
I dunno. I like my racists honest, not hiding behind dog whistles.
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?
Remember when his show had an episode where a minor pursued Ellen? What did the show mean by that?
What a trash human being. I hope somebody leaves a burning cross in his yard.
nazionist
Bet you won't say that at a clan rally, they looove jews
