Put this on Lorne Michaels (Lorne David Lipowitz), who should know better but apparently doesn't. Is he showing that he's broad-minded or just naive? In any case, I won't be watching, and no Jewish person should.

i am so over Dave Chappelle. This queer Jew is so over him. Get someone new and relevant: how bout these Jewish actors Adrien Brody and Jesse Eisenberg?

I wasn't sure who to trust before Oct 7, but now I barely trust anyone. The Jews marched with MLK & supported the Civil Rights Movement big time. In return, the Jews, once again, are spat on. The Universe is sending a message to the Jews - " take care of yourself, no one is going to be there for you"

Absolutely. I stopped watching SNL right after Chi made a terrible joke during COVID that 50% of Israelis are vaccinated, but only the Jewish half. I wrote an email to everyone involved in the show and the NBC network executives. I never, to this day, received any response from the network or Loren Michaels. Just last year Chappelle made another antisemitic joke on SNL. I can't believe Michaels, who is Jewish, continues to put him front and center. Of course everyone in the industry just keeps giving him great accolades.

A Jewish comedian I saw on my feed a few days ago (they never gave his name), mid-thirties-ish; VERY good looking, decidedly not very Jewish looking said the following (paraphrasing): I know I don't look Jewish so I don't get to experience a lot of things that Jews are getting these days. But I do know this -- Antisemitism has been on an uptick for the last 2000 years. I laughed to keep from crying.

You are SO CORRECT! Chappell does not deserve any airtime. He just exudes HATE.

When Israel or The Jewish People are Wronged all the sudden the world has amnesia.

He has the freedom of speech to say what he wants to say, and I have the freedom not to listen to him.

Chappelle thinks that he's edgy. In reality, he's just a bigoted jerk.

As for his snide comments about Jews and Hollywood, and as someone else put it (wish that I remembered where I read it), we have found out over the last 15+ months that if anything, Hollywood runs the Jews.
