          Is there a big disparity? I can’t think of any Jews that have shown support for Gaza or Palestine. I’m sure they exist, but not from what I’ve seen.

    As a comedian you either die funny or live long enough to become a reactionary shit bag.

        Reactionary can be seen as a more extreme version of conservatism.
        Conservatives want to keep things as they are and oppose change.
        Reactionaries want to turn back to some previous, supposedly better state.

      I don’t think he was ever funny. Larry David may have been funny, and Seinfeld was fortunate enough to be involved with the show, but Jerry himself has always been a poor comedian and a tool.

        Absolutely. He always came off as an arrogant prick and none of his shit was funny to me. But I might have missed many a point because I’m not from the USA.
