Jackie Mason, who spent three years as an ordained rabbi before launching his six-decade career as a comedian, will claim during a radio show to air Sunday that Hollywood is run by Jews but is nevertheless "anti-Semitic," "ignorant" and "stupid" when it comes to issues involving Israel.

LOVE Jackie Mason, I was waiting for him to speak out so glad that he did..not only is he a great Comedian but he is a good man. God Bless him
he is a good guy
I got to have dinner with him and Billy Dee Williams (”Lando Calrissian”) when I worked for the Haig campaign many moons ago. Both very nice guys.
And he’s a former Rabbi (had a congregation right here in Latrobe, PA)
I’ll forgive him for Caddyshack II.
I love Jackie too but he’s far from a good boy. He’s a comic genius, can be quite pleasant personally (sometimes!) but he also can be completely nutty and still refuses to acknowledge his illegitimate daughter - a girl who could use a little of the millions he’s accumulated over the last 30 years. That said, he’s always been committed to Israel.
I didnt know about the other stuff, but he is still hilarious and he stands up for Israel and is NO fan of Obama so that to me is two big plus’s
Hollywood has always been run by Jews but it hasn't always been anti-Semitic, ignorant, and stupid. Its output wasn't always a sewer either.
Did not know he was still amongst the living.
Good post.
“I’ll forgive him for Caddyshack II.”
He actually played a very decent character in that movie, and the production wasn’t a disgusting drug-fest like the first one was.
Ya notice dimwit Penelope Cruz got her mind right pretty quick.
I'm glad to hear someone speak out against the loud mouths in Hollywood.
We the People do NOT go along with the “official” message about Israel. Most Christians in the US stand with Israel. They’ve been our friends and ally for years. Shame on those who side with Hamas against Israel!!!
I am going to make a list of these anti-semetic actors and I will make sure everyone gets it and I will never watch a movie, buy a book, rent a video, NOTHING with them in it. It is an all out war. As a Jew, I am not going to sit idly by while the world repeats the actions of the 1930’s. NEVER AGAIN.

That being said, find me anyone who can quote any line from Caddyshack II off the top of his or her head.
And those Holocaust deniers? I read library books on WW2 when I was a kid in the early ‘60s and if you’d have tried to convince me it didn’t happen, well, good luck. I read the reports and saw the pictures, and don’t recall any deniers back then. They’re a way more recent development. Wish I coukd go back and ask my vet teachers who were there about that. And where are the anti-jews getting their marching orders from?
On playing cards with his employees during lunch:
“You seem to lose at poker a lot.”
“I lose on purpose. It’s the best way to give the men a tax-free bonus.”
Granted, it’s not a good movie, but he plays a really decent guy. I don’t mind looking at Dianne Carroll, either!
He was invited to have a show in Tucson, but the Jews in this town are anti-conservative, so for lack of ticket tales, I think they cancelled the show. Too bad. My husband and I saw him in the 70’s in LA, and we can still quote from him.
One thing... I can’t believe he’s still alive! He’s always looked like death warmed over (lol). I love this accent and intonation, too, it’s the voice I hear in my head when I’m thinking in Yiddish.
