A majority of all Americans - young and old, left and right, now have a negative opinion of Israel. If you can't understand why, then you haven't been paying attention.

He converted to Islam when 17 that’s why.

Really? So the how does that explain the fact that a majority of all Americans how have a negative view of Israel?

Including a very large and growing contingent of American Jews?

Haha. Do you think Saudi Arabia has only killed one journalist?? They have only killed one American journalist (Jamal Khashoggi in a gruesome butchering in a foreign country). But no journalist in Saudia Arabia is safe if they criticize the government.

Jamal Kashoggi wasn't American - he was Saudi. Which is a big part of why they killed him. And yes of course Saudi Arabia has an alarming record when it comes to journalists. The comparisons to Israel are apropos - they are the same in their frightening and abhorrent record when it comes to human rights and justice. Israel cares a lot less about the person's background - at least Saudi is a little bit more discriminatory (ie, internal dissidents)

You mean like when he punches the trans community?

How did he punch the trans community?

He talks about trans people a lot. It's so boring.

Why do you think he does it a lot?

He, like many people, is obsessed with this topic. Hey, it won an election. I just don't get the outrage but I know it's a hot button issue for many, him included. He says nothing new about it. It's boring and I don't care. Move on.

Okay , so is it that people of other religions, such as Jews, Catholics, COGIC, Hindu, Methodist, Pentecostal, Agnostic, and others have a problem with Israel right now?

Has he told any lies?

I mean normal reasonable people know he has not. But the progressives will want to tar and feather you if you ever state biological reality. God forbid we burst their bubble.

I am a progressive and disagree with your statement. In fact, I know quite a few progressives who do not believe that biological men can ever become women, so please stop with generalizing.

NP. Don't even try to pretend it wasn't your comrades who unleashed this disgusting, dangerous lie upon the world. Whole entire men declaring in their rumbling bassos that they're the most vulnerable in the world. Shame on you for the fraud you perpetrated for the sake of power.

Well okay lunatic.

PP is an Islamophobic zionist. They don't listen to facts.

And this mic drop at the end? Bold.

Love it. Saudi Arabia is evil but it's great to be able to call out the hypocrisy of the Israeli regime and Zionist who have far more blood on their hand.

Saudis are allowed into Israel. Not the other way round. Jews still aren't allowed in the country.

What an airtight argument for a totally non-crazy movement.

His comedy sensibility (making fun of Cassie for being a hoe, defending Diddy as just being a freak, making fun of the trans) would obviously be ok jokes in Saudi Arabia. Dave Chappelle is in the odd conundrum between liberal politics and conservative values so I’m not surprised he thinks he has more freedom to joke in Saudi than in the US. He was almost cancelled for his take on the trans a few years ago.

Is his assessment correct that the US is less free for comics than Saudi is? Absolutely not. Yeah you can make fun of the trans or Donald
Trump in Saudi Arabia but you certainly can’t
Make fun of the crown prince or make jokes about religion or politics

The U.S. wanted to do the same thing done to Khashoggi or worse to Edward Snowden and julian Assange for Wikileaks. Anyone who thinks our government hasn’t gone after journalists or whistleblowers for reporting real stories is kidding themselves.

It's the running joke that the only people that are ever punished when the crimes of the American military or intelligence apparatus are exposed are the whistleblowers. More examples are John Kiriakou, who was convicted for exposing the extensive CIA torture program; Chelsea Manning, who was convicted for being the Wikileaks source; and Daniel Hale, who was convicted for leaking intel about US kill lists and civilian casualties from drone strikes. All three of these people deserve presidential pardons and restitution of their government pensions, if applicable.

How did Kushner get in? That’s not true that Jews aren’t allowed
