I bet she’d think Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were too extreme in their counterprotest.

Cue Paul Robeson singing Let My People Go.

I guess it’s probably time to finally take down that statue of Ramses II that we erected on Long Island back in the 20s.

You just got me to cough vodka and ice into my sinuses.

“I’m Jewish and my ancestors were also slaves”
