    Ironic that the guy who actually lost close family in the holocaust is the one who doesn’t have his head up his ass about the Israeli government

      I wouldn’t call that ironic, so much as a direct result of being descended from a Jewish family that lost people to The Holocaust. Pretty difficult for people to accuse him of being antisemitic, even with the “self hating Jew” stereotype. He’s literally the type of person who can say with authority, “you’re making your own people look bad, and we want nothing to do with this.”

      Not ironic at all, to anyone who actually paid attention to history. Genocide is genocide, regardless of the perpetrator. When Israel said “never again” what they apparently meant was “never again to us”.
