Dan Abrams proving you shouldn’t listen to the media.

Y'all cut it off right when the discussion was worth listening to!

Message to Ali; when you are in a hole stop digging.

You cannot remove your affiliation with Israel. Wait are these people loyal to American or Israel?

[@MrJm323]

...."these people"....? Is Jerry Seinfeld affiliated with Israel? In what way? How often does he even mention Israel?

[@unintentionalprovocateur2158]

The better question is: Why did Duke choose Seinfeld as a commencement speaker? When you could be neutral and you decide not to for no real reason.

[@nhmooytis7058]

Because they’re möröns? Just spitballing here. Yadda yadda.

Can’t stand hearing Hamas supporter denying who started war and killed civilians on purpose. Taking over a college building tradition and you compare that to Vietnam war protest? These guys are insane and try to gaslight the audience by omitting the important distinctions and blur the lines.

[@TheSocietyPage]

What are the “important distinctions”?

[@alejandronopasanada5302]

What are your thoughts on I. Supporting H.?

[@juanc5149]

Israel started the war in 1948. Hamas as despicable as they are, is a consequence of Israel’s actions since its inception. That country took its land by force and then oppressed the population before them since 1948.
