Jon Voight, Adam Sandler, Zachary Levi, David Mamet, Ben Shapiro. Robert Davi, Ben Stein, Jerry Bruckheimer hell even Sylvester Stallone (half Jew).

They are not monolithic


I will clarify, I didn't mean to say that every Jewish run media outlet is also Democrat-aligned, I meant that the Democrat-aligned media (the vast majority of news media conglomerates and entertainment media) are 100% monolithic, and that the majority of those Democrat-aligned companies are also Jewish run. Ben Shapiro is an outlier in that he runs a news outlet that is Republican-aligned and he's done a great job building it. Alot of those other guys are actors and not managers but yes there are alot of great Jewish people

Different Teams same direction. :lol:


Jews may hold influence, but there’s a difference between influence and taking personal action. If someone (Jewish or otherwise) tells you to jump off a roof, and you choose to do it, would you really blame the person who gave the suggestion? The responsibility ultimately lies with the person who decides to act, not just with the one offering the advice.

One of my favorite but you will hate me for this. Henry Kissinger.
I have a super soft spot for him since he is my ex Prime Minster's buddy. And Kissinger doesn't have a lot of people he will consider a close close friend.

No offense , but just to be fair if you wouldn't mind looking from my point of view.

If someone (Jewish or otherwise) tells you to jump off a roof, and he is my landlord, and he promised or sign an agreement saying he will take care of my wife and children's needs for the next 5 years and accommodation.
I am financially wrecked because of certain situation that may or may not be my doing ... I might.

You are right that the responsibility lies with the person who decides to act. But it is too simple to look at it that way. We have to take into account a lot of underlying reasons and situations

My above example is just an example for dramatic effect.

Jewish communities, much like Christian ones, are diverse in their political and ideological views, with individuals spanning the spectrum from conservative to progressive. As in Israel, Jewish Americans are not a monolithic group.

In terms of influence, African Americans and their civil rights movements have had a profound impact on shaping U.S. social and political landscapes. Similarly, the Hispanic population, with its rapid growth, is increasingly becoming a major force in the nation’s demographic and political dynamics.

You still need to take responsibility for your decisions

If I tell a mentally disabled or mentally undeveloped person who doesn't know what a fall off a bridge will do to their body to jump off the bridge, and he does it and dies, it makes me culpable.

This is entirely analogous to Jewish people telling Christians to watch pornography, get abortions, indulge their sexual fetishes, and not take their health seriously. They are culpable because their audience doesn't know the consequences of what they are being told to do.

Ask him.

Also this.

He don't think he is any worst than your recent politicians.
He is by and large extremely competent.

Obviously there mistakes made.
