Joe Rogan: ‘The idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous’
Everybody is into money. Also status. Sometimes power. [IsraelTimes] Popular podcast host defends Rep. Ilhan Omar’s 2019 tweet saying pro-Israel votes in Congress were ‘all about the Benjamins,’ for which she has since apologized. Jewish comedian David Baddiel responds, as reported by Newsweek: Joe Rogan Slammed for Saying Jews Are 'Into Money'Rogan's comment caught the attention of U.S.-born British comedian David Baddiel, who slammed the podcaster on Tuesday for peddling a "racist myth." Sharing a snippet of the podcast on Twitter, Baddiel, the author of Jews Don't Count, wrote: "I actually want to stop banging the Jews Don't Count drum at some point but hard to do when a racist myth about Jews is just...said, breezily, on one of the biggest podcasts in the world and no-one gives a f***." He continued: "For the hard of understanding, 'Jews are into money' is not like 'Italians are into pizza. Because unless my history lessons really missed something out, no-one has exterminated a large section of the entire Italian community because of their love for pepperoni." "This is what Joe is saying, with a big grin," Baddiel added as he shared an illustration from the antisemitic Nazi propaganda children's book Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom/Toadstool). One part of the 1938 German book reads: "Money is the god of the Jews. He commits the greatest crimes to earn money. He won't rest until he can sit on a great sack of money, until he has become king of money." Concluding his thread, Baddiel said, "Also, Joe Rogan has a 200 Million dollar deal with Spotify. And yet apparently it's Jews who are into money." Posted by: trailing wife 2023-02-12 |
