There’s nothing funny about what Jewish comics have faced in the post-Oct. 7 world. One of the first targets was Jerry Seinfeld, arguably the least offensive comic of his generation. Seinfeld has endured repeated interruptions while on tour and in public from pro-Palestinian disruptors.

Roughly two years ago, he attended a Bari Weiss-led event dubbed “State of World Jewry” in Manhattan when protesters jeered at him, calling him a “genocide supporter.”

The legendary comic later faced on-stage harassment. He was able to take the heckling in stride, as he did when mocking protesters in a June 2024 appearance at the Qudos Bank Arena in Sydney.

As Rush used to say, liberals are the most humorless people ever.

First, they came for the Christians, and I did not speak out because I was not a Christian. Then they came for the conservatives, and I did not speak out because I was not a conservative. Then they came for the Jewish comedians, and there was no one left to speak for me.

They weren’t safe in Nazi Germany, either. But we’re the fascists.

Maybe Jerry should just change his name to Heinrich Himmler.

Bingo! Jews seem to be locked into self defeating votes.

This violence against Jewish Comedians is definitely REAL but NOT SPECTACULAR.

I remember Jerry Seinfeld dipping a toe into red-pilled, anti-woke waters—until the 2024 election loomed, at which point he executed the fastest Hollywood heel-turn, snapping back to full leftist orthodoxy like he’d just received an ominous memo from the powers-that-be.

Leftism as such is a suicide cult. Jewish leftism, doubly so.

Karl Marx (Jewish by ancestry but not raised that way) wrote a book A World Without Jews, which is the worst anti-Jewish propaganda previous to the Nazis. The main point is the survival of the Jews is an anomaly wrought by capitalism. That a properly socialist world wouldn't have Jews. Of course he does not hit the "racial" angle the way the Nazis did.

For a while after WWII, the left toned down the Jew hatred and was OK with Israel as long as the more left wing parties were in charge. But they inevitably return to their vomit.

The leftists relied on their bumbling socialist Muslim brothers to erase Israel. Islamists have been failing since 1948. Now the “woke right” is joining the fight, who will FAFO soon enough 🤣

yup...

“There’s nothing funny about what Jewish comics have faced in the post-Oct. 7 world. “

what is funny is most of these Jewish comics are uber liberals, the same ideology that’s threatening them...
