Not cowards, nazis. Goose-stepping, sieg heiling, fuhrer-worshipping, antisemitic, genocidal, racist, fascist, subhuman nazis.

So uh. How can they be both antisemittic and support Israel like they do at the same time? Not trying to troll, I honestly feel there is a contradiction there.

From what I have read/heard, the Rapture^tm^ or "End Times" will start because of/in the Jewish nation of Israel, they are waiting for the end of the world and the Jews are the key to it. If you want some reading just look up "Israel rapture" or "Israel end times"

What the actual fuck.

These people thrive on cognitive dissonance. It's one reason logic doesn't work against them. Also, my understanding is that the religious ones need Jews in Israel for their apocalyptic bible prophecy to come true.

They want Jewish people to have a state so they can go away. Also the whole "needs to have all Jewish people in Israel to herald the apocalypse and ascension" or some nonsense.

Zionism is uses Christofascism as a key new ally. The rapture fantasy is no threat to Zionism because it requires those bribed to push support for Israel as support for end times, will still prefer the bribes to challenging Zionist supremacy later.
The panic over free speech now, is that the Zionist narrative does not want to be that Kirk was killed for being Zionist first rule over US, with Christo/white rhetoric just used to destroy the left's/normal's objections to Zionist first rule over America. Zionist rule requires no criticism of Zionist rule, and minions serving Zionism need to control a distracting narrative useful in strengthening Zionist control over the US.
After 9/11, many tv hosts were fired for saying something other the Zionazi "they just hate us for our freedom" narrative. Obviously also, the blame on an Afghani caveman was also sacrosanct. Free speech was always about speech that doesn't matter being allowed.

Maintaining israel's power in the middle east keeps the west easy access to all of that oil and resources in the region. Bonus points, it keeps all them 'jews' in one spot out of the way. Even hitler supported the existence of israel.

Not really a contradiction if you understand Zionism. Paraphrasing Theodor Herzl (recognized as one of the "founding fathers" of Zionism) "the anti-semites will become our greatest allies" in the late 1800s
Because anti-Semites would support Jewish emigration. White supremacists and neo Nazis would be glad to see them gone from the US. And they have an easy place to push them.
That, and Israel's importance today to US government is more about geopolitics and power projection than about ethnic/religious identity.
And also the Christian zionist angle other people have mentioned with Armageddon.

They are nothing more than liars. It only looks bad to those that can see it for what it is.

They aren’t spineless victims, these are the people pulling the strings.

I hope Jimmy just releases his same monologues, but from his house like he did during the COVID lockdown.

Would be great if all current late night hosts just started some other creative endeavour together. Network TV is dying anyway, these guys got more views on YouTube than their actual shows.

Don't think there were concentration camps in Germany, mostly if not all were in Poland.

Or how Senator Markey put it:

He would still have a job if he simply kept the temperature down and joked about killing homeless people instead. When will these hateful libs learn?

Trump always had it in for Kimmel. The fact that the government now decides what comedians can say should worry everyone, left or right.
Also, Trump is a child rapist and this does not distract us from that fact.

I can show my opposition by simply boycotting programming from ABC and CBS. See how simple that is!? Free speech does not pick sides. I've learned to accept the "good" and the "bad". This Trump administration is suppressing what DID make America Great - no more! 😔
