Adam Sandler says he’s devoted to Israel because of his parents

Comedian Adam Sandler went on the Howard Stern show last week and defended Israel against musician Roger Waters’s call on musicians to boycott the country in line with the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) campaign. Notice that Sandler acknowledges that people say bad things about Israel now; and that he includes a generational disclaimer: I defend Israel because my parents love it.

Sandler: I like when you get upset about Israel, and I get nervous about Israel too. That’s from my house. My father and mother– very pro-Israel.

Stern: Me too. Me too.

Sandler: And when someone says shit about Israel– I know people say shit about Israel. And they fucking won’t play.

Stern: Roger Waters was really going to town.

Sandler: And when you go off on Roger Waters– I love that you do that, I’m disgusted that they single out Israel. ‘Oh we can’t play Israel.’ All these fucking nice Israeli people are getting a Fuck you from Roger Waters… I’m not very crazy religious. But like I said I grew up being proud of being a Jew and that’s what I am.

So what else did your parents tell you that you found out wasn’t right? You can hear the same generational respect in Peter Beinart’s love of Israel. He’s a person who respects his elders; and the sense, “I’m doing this because my father and grandfather love Israel” comes through his statements (and he is keeping up the chain by putting the Israeli flag in his son’s bedroom).

Another generational thing. Sandler said when he started doing comedy, the late Rodney Dangerfield (born Jacob Rodney Cohen in 1921) and his own father told him not to advertise the fact that he’s Jewish. But he did it anyway, and it turned out that Sandler’s Jewishness never hurt him, it helped him, with the famous Hanukkah song. He is the face of a telephone company’s ad campaign in Israel.

BTW the American acceptance means that the Zionism is being undermined; because Zionism was based on the belief that we are unsafe in the west.

Sandler fits well in the Howard Stern Gang. Crude humour , smut and semi pornographic material passes as entertainment for the masses.

Here is Sandler,s dazzling thespian record.

” Sandler received a Razzie record 6 nominations as an individual and a total of 23 nominations for films he was involved with.[3]

Voting for Worst Screen Ensemble was not just determined by members of the Golden Raspberry Award Foundation. Voting for the award was opened up to the general public online and conducted by the website Rotten Tomatoes. A grand total of 35,117 votes were cast.[4] This is the only year in the history of the Razzies where one movie won every single award.

Jack and Jill was nominated for twelve awards (including twice each in Worst Supporting Actor and Worst Supporting Actress) and won in every category. This was the first time in the history of the Razzies that one film won every award. The film also holds the record for most Razzie wins (beating Battlefield Earth) and most wins in a single year (beating I Know Who Killed Me)” Wiki.

Neither of these two wanna bees would survive a full show in front of a somewhat more discerning audience. Why expect them to spend their time seeking truth .

But America isn’t the entire West. As I’m sure you must admit by now, Jews are rightfully feeling more and more unsafe in Europe. Jew hatred has been strong there for centuries and blaming it on the existence of Israel is an ex post facto argument.

“But like I said I grew up being proud of being a Jew (American, White, Christian, Muslim, German, Japanese) and that’s what I am.”

Well, OK, then…

“But like I said I grew up being proud of being a Jew and that’s what I am.” Why is this ok to say when it would be social suicide to say that one grew up being proud to be Gentile, or White, and that’s what I am.

And what is the conventional criticism about Stern? People who love him listen to him for an hour everyday. People who hate him listen for two.
