    I know Seinfeld is just a piece of shit, but…

    Isn’t Patinkin saying as much because he sees the genocide being committed in Gaza and thinks that it will hurt Jewish people worldwide to have such a heinous crime hanging over their shared culture? That he’s rightfully worried that the world will turn on Jewish people worldwide after seeing the horrors of what Netanyahu has done in Gaza?

    A quote from Patinkin:

    “How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?”

    Huh, sounds like he understand the situation pretty well and isn’t peddling total bullshit like Seinfeld.

      Yeah, I watched him speak on the subject, in a similar clip, he ends up screaming about the atrocities being done and how truly awful it is.

      Yeah, I mean it can be both. Israel committing genocide is both wrong and makes the Jewish people less safe, as they have a country and its leaders creating more enemies in their name. Not all Jewish people agree with Netanyahu or live in Israel.

        Just as a heads up, but if you did enjoy the Princess Bride, the book/Audio book “As You Wish” is legitimately delightful.

        A good amount of the cast get together to talk about all the interesting things that went into making the movie.

    With everyone also still thinking about the Epstein files, you really think now is the time to open your mouth and say some dumb shit, Jerry? Trying to distract people so they won’t bring up your 17 year old girlfriend again?

    I think it’s important to watch the clip that this headline of Mandy Patinkin is referencing to be able to appreciate the fuller context of this meme. Unfortunately, this meme is vague enough to confuse people comparing what Seinfeld said with what Patinkin said. Patkin also does an amazing throw back to Princess Bride to make his point too! https://youtu.be/dFjOb9DGS1w

      This is the context I came to the comments for. Thank you. I knew Mandy was a solid human.

      I just love Mandy for that shrillness he allows into his voice at the end. He’s passionate about this.

    Want to point out Seinfeld is currently on tour and basically trying to get free press to sell tickets.

    He doesn’t care about anything but his shit ton of money. Fuck him.

    A clueless and amoral Ashkenazi/European “Jew” supports the genocidal ethnostate his forefathers fought so hard to build and his tribe is currently murdering innocents to maintain? Woah!
