Jerry Seinfeld? The man who, at 39 years old, dated a 17 year old high school student?
“Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Yeah that makes total sense. Obviously, if I feel like a group of people deserve to not be genocided, that means I don't like Jews. So "liking Jews" = You must want to destroy another culture.
i don't know if anyone worked as hard as Jerry Seinfeld to ruin his own reputation insistently for so long.
Exactly what I'd expect from the billionaire leech class.
I wonder what he thinks about a thirty-eight year old man dating a seventeen year old? Oh wait we know already.
Dude's been fuckin' gross for years, nobody should take moral advice from this pedo.
Oh Jerry, you geriatric, cradle robbing idiot.
Oh reminds me of a good video essay on recent Jerry from elephant graveyard.
The Klan lit churches on fire and killed people. He thinks some words are worse than that? What a psycho.
Trivializing the KKK just adds another level of implicit racism to his explicit racism.
Seinfeld is a bigot piece of shit. No surprises there.
This reminds me of Norm McDonald's bit, "People say the worst thing about the whole Bill Cosby thing is the hypocrisy. I disagree, I thought it was the raping that was the worst" apologies for butchering it, but I think it's very relevant, considering it was on an episode of comedians in cars with Jerry
TIL Jerry Seinfeld is genocide supporter. Anyway, he is a fucking rich comedian, he knows nothing about anything. He thinks tha being jew or white american gives you rigth to kill entire nation. Scumbag.
It's amazing these people still think that all Jewish people agree with them. Or do they think a huge part of the global Jewish population just became "self-hating" or whatever term they'd use overnight?
Jewish voices are deeply involved in Palestinian solidarity movements across the world and at almost every level, so statements like this are just fucking insane.
Jerry Seinfeld’s entire public profile can be attributed to Larry David. If it weren’t for him, he’d just be another mediocre Leno-esque standup. Nobody would remember him because he sucks.
Unpopular opinion but the guy's been out of "real life" for almost three decades now. His bubble is made up very heavily by the worldview of Jewish voices, specifically those from New York Money which is a thing, and it's not that surprising his take is what it is.
That said, yeah he probably shouldn't be talking publicly about it. Because that's ridiculous. For "regular" Jewish Americans, this time about this topic is incredibly distressing. Sort of like if your whole extended family, town, state, and media voted trump and think everything's difficult-but-good, when obviously it's beyond horrible.
I love that Seinfeld says this stuff because I've always felt he was unfunny, smug, obnoxious, and basically I've just always hated him for no reason. Now he just keeps supplying reasons, and finally I can say I hate this fucker without being judged too hard for it
The old "If you don't support our atrocities, you're a racist" strategy.
It's a sibling to the Bush era "If you don't support our war crimes, you're a terrorist."
People with Critical Thinking Skills don't respond to such nonsense. Anyone who does, is outing themselves as a gullible fool.
A guy who dated a teenager he picked up at a park in his 30s has bad opinions and is a terrible person? Say it ain’t so!
“Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Equating Israel and/or Zionism with Jews is antisemitic. You outed yourself there, Jerry.
That's too bad, I liked his show back in the day, now I guess he'll be shown as often as the Cosby show
He’s been overrated as a comedian his entire career, I feel zero sense of loss from continuing to ignore every syllable he produces.
I’m Native American free Palestine, fuck Jerry.
Jerry Seinfeld is a pedophile
He also met his current wife on cruise, while she was on her honeymoon.
Imagine that? She gets married, goes on her honeymoon, and some rich and famous comedian notices her, and she just dumps her new husband for the rich guy, proving what a piece of shit she is. It probably didn't feel like it at the time, but her ex-husband dodged a giant bullet.
in reference to the Free Palestine activist movement, “Just say you don’t like Jews.”
Fuck Jerry Seinfeld and this dishonest bullshit. Hiding Israeli crimes behind false accusations of anti-Semitism.
Dried up has-been should leave the public stage.
Wow, really found a great way to blow up his image, I guess being a pedo wasn't enough for Jerry, he has to tack on hateful fuckwit as well.
You can just tell his hate makes him feel tough and important, but in truth he's attracted to it because it gives him a sense of power and control, surfing in the power wake of the genocidal Israeli government. As evidenced by his grooming of underage girls, Jerry seeks to have power over others in any way he can, to distract from his physical and mental impotency.
He's a small minded dipshit with enormous insecurities.
It's when they start saying nonsensical shit like this that you got to look up someone's age. Seinfeld is 71 and saying stupid things. Go to bed gramps.
Yah suprise fucking billionaire is an asshole.
Gee, I didn't know not wanting genocide makes you a fucking genocidal hate filled kkk loser. Damn that sure is weird...
Ugh.
You mean the guy who spent decades rehabilitating his racist friend is racist?
Fuck you, are you on his list? I seem to remember you dating someone significantly significantly significantly and grossly younger than yourself you pervert.
Really surprised how many people are just okay with straight up murder. Nazis and the Jews, Isreal and children, Christians and the LGBT, Russia and civilians, etc. Did everyone just take crazy pills? Just leave people the fuck alone.
