There is definitely merit to what Sarah Silverman is saying. And as a Jewish woman who runs in circles with other Jewish women, we’ve all been talking about it non-stop since the video went up yesterday.

I really want to be snarky here... but is this actually a fair point? There are historical examples of Jews being played by non-Jews in offensive ways. Shylock in Merchant of Venice comes to mind. The Jewish people have clearly suffered and been marginalized historically, and continue to be in some places. I’m not…
I’m not sure that makes it better. It’s like using the torture and murder of Daniel Pearl to justify waterboarding. Regardless rocket attacks from Hamas have been consistent. In 2020, they sent about 160, 2017 to 2019 there were over 2,600. No one seems to be commenting about how Hamas is actively targeting…
Hamas has fired a lot of rockets at Isreal, over 3,000 just this year. 90% of them were aimed at populated areas. I’m not going to defend Isreal’s actions in general, but Hamas has attacked them repeatedly since they gained power.
Nothing like standing your ground, AOC.
I feel like your coverage of this is kinda weirdly ignoring the blinking red light that was the Holocaust. Also it’s funny the way immigration is discussed in the US versus how we look at the Jewish people.
See it’s drivel such as this that is stoking the flames. No where in the article you sited are the words “ethnic cleansing”. It did not make any allusions to death, violence, or genocide. It said half of Israelis want the Arabs out and half of the Arabs want the Israelis out. I do, however, recall “death to Israel”…
Sigh. The amount of historical illiteracy on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is very depressing. The biggest tragedy of this is this could have all been averted if the Palestinians didn’t entrust their leadership to a bunch of terrorists that care more about their ideology than they do about their own people. Here’s…
Thank you. She failed a purity test she set up for everyone else.
Not an AOC hater, but she doesn’t beat Schumer. Schumer isn’t a great majority leader, but he’s always been an amazing retail politician.
You’re aware that a majority of Israelis are of MENA origin, right?
Give me a break. Prior to one week ago, had this website ever censured Nicki Minaj? Even the announcement of her marriage to a known pedophile rapist was covered with “You know Nicki!, I guess she does what she likes!” insouciance.
It’s their major, major loss. Judging by the menu and the chef executing it (Manouschka Guerrier), they got the upscale version.
Fucking Texas.
“It’s worse than Tiger Woods, worse than Kevin Spacey and worse than Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky—put together.”
This sounds like an excellent book, but it seems a little disingenuous to have this conversation on Jezebel without acknowledging Jezebel’s history with White Feminism, choice feminism, and the exact sort of Sex and the City sexually liberated feminist perspective that the author critiques.
I mean, I know you got paid to write this...but the Drew Barrymore version of Cinderella pretty much summed this all up. I mean, she fought a man with a sword, a man who was going to rape her. So...yeah. Gen X did this already guys.
She’s become a huge, narcissistic asshole.
Hamas is a rightwing terrorist organization and people like you support it without question
Yeah, um, recovering Catholics don’t get to define anti-semitism. I’m wondering if you’d speak that way to another ethnic minority? Or do you only reserve that smug tone for Jews?
