I know Seinfeld is just a piece of shit, but...

Isn't Patinkin saying as much because he sees the genocide being committed in Gaza and thinks that it will hurt Jewish people worldwide to have such a heinous crime hanging over their shared culture? That he's rightfully worried that the world will turn on Jewish people worldwide after seeing the horrors of what Netanyahu has done in Gaza?

A quote from Patinkin:

"How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?"

Huh, sounds like he understand the situation pretty well and isn't peddling total bullshit like Seinfeld.

[–] LavaPlanet@sh.itjust.works 37 points 2 days ago

Yeah, I watched him speak on the subject, in a similar clip, he ends up screaming about the atrocities being done and how truly awful it is.

[–] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Yeah, I mean it can be both. Israel committing genocide is both wrong and makes the Jewish people less safe, as they have a country and its leaders creating more enemies in their name. Not all Jewish people agree with Netanyahu or live in Israel.

[–] hector@lemmy.today 25 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

It sounds like he is making an argument to the people committing the genocide and supporting it to show them why it is in their best interest not to do it. Using moral arguments with some people and groups is a waste of time.

They already Trust the people convincing them to do it.

Thank dog, I thought I was going to have to not watch Inigo Montoya again.

[–] Alatain@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book "As You Wish" is legitimately delightful.

A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.

[–] PugJesus@piefed.social 104 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

Jesus fucking Christ. What a cretin Seinfeld is.

Based Inigo Montoyo, at least.

In a July 2025 New York Times interview with his wife Grody, Patinkin was critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's policies during the Gaza War, arguing that his actions are "endangering the Jewish population all over the world" and that "to watch what is happening, for the Jewish people to allow this to happen to children and civilians of all ages in Gaza, for whatever reason, is unconscionable and unthinkable."[64][65][66]

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 67 points 2 days ago (5 children)

Can't express my relief that he's a good guy. Having a complicated relationship with The Princess Bride would break me tbh

[–] Trex202@lemmy.world 19 points 2 days ago

Inconceivable!

Wild that George and Elaine are the best humans of those four when they were arguably the worst in the show. Fuck Jerry, fuck Michael Richards, and even though he’s otherwise been ok fuck Larry for the crytpo shilling

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 11 points 2 days ago (2 children)

I’ve posted this elsewhere, I don’t think Richards is a piece of shit like Seinfeld.

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.

[–] Soulg@ani.social 8 points 2 days ago

Richards just did a bad thing once trying to shut down a heckler and it backfired hard. People just don't want to ever forgive.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 3 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Is it even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no. Is it something a non-racist person would ever even think to say? Also hell no.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

So you excuse Seinfeld here, but still hold Richards 100% accountable?

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Also a hell no. In fact what are you talking about? What did I say that you feel implied that?

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

Is it [Seinfeld’s comments] even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

[–] cyberwitch@reddthat.com 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (2 children)

It looks to me like what they're referring to is Michael Richards tirade being uncomparable to Jerry's comments that were supporting the genocide. That's how I read it, anyway.

But I mean he (Richards) was talking about lynching the guy at the Laugh Factory, so even as far as racism goes, that's pretty fucking up there.

[–] alekwithak@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

It's aways nice to see reading comprehension out in the wild.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 days ago (2 children)

It looks to me like what they're referring to is Michael Richards tirade being uncomparable to Jerry's comments that were supporting the genocide. That's how I read it, anyway.

That’s what I’m saying too. Seinfeld’s comments were made in a more calm matter, but were way way way worse than Richards’.

But I mean he (Richards) was talking about lynching the guy at the Laugh Factory, so even as far as racism goes, that's pretty fucking up there.

I don’t recall the lynching comments, only the several utterances of the n word, but I could be wrong. In either case it was vile and cannot be excused. What’s more telling to me is his behavior since; he was immediately apologetic and he has remained so for 20 years

Okay, I suppose I was too vague.

Is it [Richard’s comments] even close to [ being as bad as] publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.

I'm saying Richards may be a better person than Seinfeld, but I wouldn't excuse his words or actions because they're not something a non-racist would ever even think to do or say.

Hope that is clear now.

[–] blitzen@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 days ago

And I’m not trying to excuse the words or his behavior on stage. Only trying to acknowledge his behavior since the day after the incident and for the last 20 years as steadfastly apologetic. His words were wrong, and importantly he thinks so too.

[–] ryedaft@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 days ago

Nah, they are saying Seinfeld is excusing a genocide.

[–] idiomaddict@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago

Larry David introduced RFK Jr and his wife (Cheryl Hines, also from cye)

jason alexander has better acting range, than nazi seinfeld.

[–] Noblesavage@lemmy.world 39 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I think it's important to watch the clip that this headline of Mandy Patinkin is referencing to be able to appreciate the fuller context of this meme. Unfortunately, this meme is vague enough to confuse people comparing what Seinfeld said with what Patinkin said. Patkin also does an amazing throw back to Princess Bride to make his point too! https://youtu.be/dFjOb9DGS1w

[–] khannie@lemmy.world 10 points 2 days ago

This is the context I came to the comments for. Thank you. I knew Mandy was a solid human.

[–] psx_crab@lemmy.zip 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago) (1 children)

Wow, that's just fucking dishonest for people to twist what he actually mean. Just because his perspective didn't start from the people of gaza doesn't mean he didn't think the situation is fucked up and the israel government is fucking evil. People who twist his words have the ulterior motive of wanting the eradication of Israel.

Edit: on second thought, the pic above doesn't claim patinkin don't care about the palestinians, but they word it in a way it feels like he just care about the israeli.

[–] FLP22012005@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

The meme could be interpreted as contrasting the two. I read it as such at first, but started doubting as I read the comments.

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I just love Mandy for that shrillness he allows into his voice at the end. He’s passionate about this.

[–] DmMacniel@feddit.org 14 points 2 days ago (4 children)

collapsed inline mediaReaction Meme of Walter Sobchak from The Big Lebowski pulling his gun and yelling "Has the whole world gone crazy?"

seriously what is the deal with dumb celebrities?

[–] caseyweederman@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

Obligatory Mandy Patinkin was making the opposite point than is suggested by the OP's excerpt

Well you see, when you're insulated from horrors, you might not be aware that they are horrors.

Like how vaccines have insulated most of us from the horrors of disease, and consequently there are a shit-ton of people who don't take disease precautions seriously. Just had a guy at the hardware store give me a dirty look, presumably because I was masking.

[–] digital_man@lemmy.world 12 points 2 days ago

Want to point out Seinfeld is currently on tour and basically trying to get free press to sell tickets.

He doesn’t care about anything but his shit ton of money. Fuck him.

[–] Godric@lemmy.world 10 points 1 day ago

"No words"

Post is made up almost entirely of words

[–] Tigeroovy@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (2 children)

With everyone also still thinking about the Epstein files, you really think now is the time to open your mouth and say some dumb shit, Jerry? Trying to distract people so they won’t bring up your 17 year old girlfriend again?

[–] Nikls94@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

bring up or dig up?

[–] wowwoweowza@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago

What a piece of work.

[–] danekrae@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I never saw the appeal of Seinfeld. Joseph Goebbels was just a little bit funnier.

[–] Tollana1234567@lemmy.today 1 points 1 day ago

goebbels seinfled.

[–] ArgumentativeMonotheist@lemmy.world 5 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

A clueless and amoral Ashkenazi/European "Jew" supports the genocidal ethnostate his forefathers fought so hard to build and his tribe is currently murdering innocents to maintain? Woah!

[–] unrealizedrealities@kbin.melroy.org 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

OMG you can have good and bad jews? is that a thing?

[–] morphballganon@mtgzone.com 1 points 1 day ago

You can have good and bad people, for sure. I don't see why those categories couldn't each include any/every religion.

[–] JasonDJ@lemmy.zip 1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Good Jew: Jesus, from Nazareth.

Bad Jew: Jared, from Subway.
