Ben Stiller is a genocide denier
It’s only genocide if it happens in the genocide region of France, other wise it’s just sparkling mass murder
I cant wait till we solve the issues in the middle east. Then we can move on to solving all the rest of the world’s problems.
I think I got the black lung, paw
There is no war in Ba Sing Se.
He’s wearing the genocide equivalent of gang colors.
I was never really a big Ben Stiller fan but I have to admit, he made some really funny choices.
He’s a genocide supporter
I don’t really know much about him. What’s the lore?
That there’s more to life than being really really ridiculously good looking.
But why male models?
Are you serious? I just… I just told you that a moment ago.
Could moisture be the essence of wetness?
Just a comedy actor. Not known for stand up or anything. Had some major block buster hits. Again, more cringe humor than anything else. I just think his choice to do zoolander is funny becuase its a dumb role and he pulled it off but forever will be the zoolander guy.
Ahh. Some other people in the thread made it sound like there was drama but sometimes I like when there isn’t drama.
I really enjoyed the Secret Life of Walter Mitty
I might need to still watch that one.
It’s certified awesome. Just in a really different way than Zoolander. Ben plays a maladaptive daydreamer in his 40’s finally learning how to live in the present and be a person
Can we get paid?
Ben Stiller is a genocide denier IRL. Pass it on.

I stand with the Israeli people and their right to live in peace and safety. At the same time, I don’t agree with all of the Israeli government’s choices on how they are conducting the war. I want the violence to end, and the innocent Palestinian people affected by the humanitarian crisis that has resulted to receive the lifesaving aid they need. And I know that many in Israel share this sentiment.
He wrote an essay for Time Magazine. It’s a short read but… Yeah even calling it a war is troubling, because Palestine doesn’t have a military? He says he feels for the innocent Palestinian people, but spends far more ink on bemoaning rising anti-semitism, and never really touches on the massive difference in body counts between the hamas terrorist attack and the genocide that isreal is currently engaged in. He also, of course, doesn’t call it a genocide.
It’s like his heart is almost in the right place, but he just can’t gather to courage to call a spade a spade. He calls the war in Ukraine a russian invasion, he calls the conflict in Lebanon a pogrom. Why can’t he bring himself to call what’s happening in Gaza the same? It’s literally an isreali invasion and a pogrom. He can’t just call for a two-state solution, say he feels for the innocent Palestinians, and wash his hands of the rest.
The r/jewish reddit thread on his essay is similarly obtuse. it’s from 2 years ago, but even then, it was clear as day to any outside observer what was happening. They’re so worried about the ghost of anti-semitism that they miss the fact they’ve become their own genocidal nightmare.
He’s extremely Jewish? Lol
I can’t back that up, no. Not really.
Most Jews I know are pro-palestine.
Don’t be a bigot.
That’s anecdotal. Polls of American Jews only show a marginal amount believe a genocide is happening while Israeli’s are even lower. So you’re anecdotal bias doesn’t mean you can call people a bigot over truth …
It’s very possible to be a bigot with statistics too.
For example, quoting a survey that says only 30% of Jews think isreal is committing a genocide, while leaving out the fact that 30% of ALL Americans feel that same way.
So their religion and culture is statistically irrelevant. And the fact that it’s being highlighted is the bigotry.

Jews are as dumb and evil as your typical American scum
That’s exactly what I’m saying, though I’m less of a dick apparently. They’re exactly the same as all other Americans. So pointing out their race is only to push some racist agenda.
Maybe I can help you connect the dots. See, I said all the Jews I know think it’s a genocide. Also, all the non Jews I know think it’s a genocide. I don’t surround myself with pro-genocide folks.
I used the same statistics as everyone else, and the same tactic as the bigot I replied to, but I put a positive spin instead of a negative one. And a bunch of y’all told on yourselves by getting mad.
Fuck… it’s a joke making fun of people who don’t realize that Israel ≠ all Jews
Get the stick out of your ass.
You need to work on your bit. A joke is funny if it is:
- Unexpected and
- You should have seen it coming
Up-front bigotry isn’t even a joke. Bigotry only seems like jokes when it’s the punch line, because stereotypes take the place of setup for a joke to establish something that you should have seen coming. They take the place of a callback to something said earlier or a reference to shared experience.
Jokes that rely on the situation of bigotry being expected are difficult and require much more effort or insight than “[identity] lol”. In other words: put your ass into your schtick.
The thing about jokes is that they are usually written in such a way as to be humorous or obviously satirical.
I know quite a few good Jewish comedians who could help you with your material.
