Technically true. What people really mean is that you can’t joke about certain things without an overwhelming and brutal public reaction that could well result in the end of your sanity, career or both. Not sure it’s a good system.

Wrong. most israelis are not european but are from the arab world (yemen, iraq, egypt, morocco, libya etc) but even european jews have, in most cases, middle eastern ancestry as demonstrated by genetic tests and history.
No one ever got cancelled for talking about the prominent role of Jews in Hollywood. Kanye got in trouble for saying he’s going to go “deathcon 3 on the Jews”. Roseanne Barr was cancelled for less.

Human sexuality and human psychology has always been and always will be a rich source of comedic material. There is a place for jokes about transgender people (and gays and bi’s and straights and everything else). Of course bigotry and hatred are to be avoided.

Long absence does not negate indigeneity. On the other hand Muslims and Christians have lived there for centuries, sometimes millenia. Seems like the fairest solution is, and has always been, 2 states.
People who claim to “do their own research” regarding climate change would think the sun revolves around the Earth if they had to figure it out for themselves.

Gus, do you have the slightest proof that this was edited to falsely show that the students in the video support Hamas' desire to kill civilians? Or you're just going with your gut?
I don’t believe all women. Or all men. Frankly I don’t believe anyone if I wasn’t there and there’s no video. I can only assign probabilities as to whether I think they are being truthful. I’m amazed at other people’s certitude about everything.

actively seeks ALL types of comedians who can make the audience laugh. They don't exclude anyone based on race, gender or sexual orientation. They don't give them extra credit either. Have a good transgender comic to recommend?

Yes and no. He’s caucasian but, as a Muslim middle-easterner, he is not “white” as that term is generally used in modern identity politics parlance. Whatever the reality, he alone is responsable for his actions, not his whole ethnic group.

I don't believe she hates jews. Maybe she does. It doesn't really matter. Hatred of Israel is bad enough. Even without jew-hatred it is a position based on ignorance and is destructive.

David was real. The Israelites were real. The Dead Sea scrolls are real. Masada is real. The Western Wall is real. Every Hebrew coin, ancient synagogue and Jewish tomb discovered in the Land of Israel is real.

Funny is subjective but I assure you any woman that gets the same level of laughs from the audience as CK gets IS getting booked and booked plenty.

I read that groups rotating pacemakers ran in front of him in a formation designed to reduce drag. Can it be both a great achievement AND not count as an official record? No doubt the 2 hour barrier will fall in an actual race ine day.

Interesting though this is a discussion no one would be having were Israel not involved. Like who even heard of the military doctrine of “perfidy” before this? Or for that matter “proportionality.”

Trump does enough questionable shit you can address. You don’t need to bash him over his use of a word commonly used in many contexts by people of all races and political affiliations whose literal meaning is simply “extrajudicial killing”. It’s almost as if you want him to win.
According to an online longevity calculator my expected age of death is 87. It doesn’t tell you where you’re gonna die but I’m guessing somewhere in the former United States.

Opening jerusalem up to all religions, developing revolutionary irrigation technology, sending aid workers to haiti after earthquake, bringing black skinned people (ethiopians) to freedom, having highest life span for arabs in mid east.

That would not infringe the Constitutional guarantee of free speech, but it would run counter to the spirit of free speech. If you dont like what he says, say something better.

In fact Rabbi I find it quite hard. Quite hard indeed to condemn israel when it does wrong when millions want to see it destroyed even when it does right.
@GaryGulman
All this emphasis on writing is overblown.
@HerschelPinchas
has shown that the best method is to use proven tried and true jokes written by others. It’s not who wrote the joke that counts. Its who does it on tv first.
