This. Duke, as is their right, invited Seinfeld. He accepted as his right. He gave a perfectly non inflammatory speech (which shows good sense). Some students walked out to protest his wife’s questionable choice in funding the UCLA counter protestors. Which is again their right and totally fine. Why is any of this anitsemitic or even noteworthy? |

No one has to listen to anyone they don’t want to. |

Israel is a racist country, and the current Israeli government is genocidal and sees Palestinians as subhuman. Of course, that is racist. And Palestinians have the right to reclaim the land stolen from them during the Nakba. |
Israel is incapable of walking and chewing gum at the same time under its current leadership. Just look at how poorly they’ve handled this war, unable to even neutralize a ragtag band of militants in an area less than 1/2 the size of New York City after seven months and tens of billions of dollars of welfare. That’s right - less than 1/2 the size of NYC. That's embarrassing beyond belief almost. Without U.S. support and interference, Israel is just an afterthought in the desert. I hope you pray morning, noon, and night that the U.S. never leaves Israel to fight the battles it keeps provoking with its neighbors on its own. If we did, the reform that’s desperately needed in Israel would have to materialize fast - real fast. |
Gotta love the people saying They didn’t walk out because Jerry is Jewish, it’s because he’s a Zionist. So what are people doing to do now, ask every Jew how they feel about Israel so they can decide how to feel about them? |
Flip the script - are you not asking every Muslim or every Arab if they support Hamas? No, that's right. You're just accusing them ALL of supporting Hamas, without even giving them the courtesy of an opportunity to express their views. How odd that you are so contemptuous of actions you yourself take daily. I'd say it's hypocritical, but that somehow seems unfair to hypocrites. |
No, I’m not doing that. What’s with the assumptions? |
When Israel shut down the Rafah crossing last week, they shut down the exit/entry point for humanitarian workers.

Did you miss the part where Jerry's wife personally funded a group of terrorists that committed hate crimes on public property and are now under state and federal investigation? We're not talking about someone who's "just Jewish". We're talking about someone whose wife funded a terrorist group on U.S. soil, FFS. Ostensibly, one would assume that he conspired with her to plan that crime. Y'all are wanting to make light of what has actually occurred with these counter-protests, and you're probably going to be surprised at the fallout. Serious crimes are committed. We're not talking about loitering, trespassing, vandalism, or disorderly conduct. |
Okay, so you know these things about his wife. But what do you do in your own life when you encounter Jews whose views aren’t public knowledge? Do you ask them for their opinion on the conflict so you can decide if you’ll give them your business, or work with them on a project, or socialize with them? |
What race is Palestinian? Palestinian is an ethnicity. Oh that’s right they are white. |
You could say the same things about the Palestinians and their leaders. The Palestinians don't want peace. They want vengeance. Israel won the land through conquest. The Arabs fought multiple wars and lost. Most people understand that losing wars leads to unwanted consequences. The Palestinians are welcome to continue prosecuting the war, but it may lead to outcomes they don't want. |
Well, maybe they would not have to defend themselves if our police would do the right thing and start actually defending Jewish students, not just this catch and release bullshit against radical Islamist extremists pushing for the genocide of the Jewish people. Start using live ammunition against these protesters and see how quickly these monsters decide Hamas isn’t the good guys in this conflict. |
