I know I just made two Seinfeld posts back to back but I thought people saying his wife funded pro-zionist counter protest thugs was just a joke. I finally googled it. I really should have known it was real.

    Jessica Seinfeld, cookbook author and wife to comedian Jerry Seinfeld, is funding a pro-Israel counterprotest at UCLA—where violence broke out Tuesday night after a mob attacked demonstrators inside a pro-Palestine encampment.

    A GoFundMe for the effort, which Seinfeld promoted in an Instagram story this week after contributing at least $5,000, has since made the majority of its donations anonymous. The fundraising page has raised more than $93,000 as of Wednesday and also changed its organizer name and description since launching over the weekend.

    I'm surprised his wife is old enough to have her own bank account

    Zionists need outside funding and to bring in lots of people from the outside to even try and come close to the power of the pro-Palestine protests.

    She's a fucking billionaire and gives only $5K?

    If I were an asshole Zionist doing violence I'd just up the gofundme to $10M and see if one of them fills it. $5K for the Seinfelds is like $0.25-0.50 to us ($50-100K/yr job. networth-wise most people is probably basically $0...). I could donate $1 to something and be doubling , ratio-wise, the Seinfelds contribution to whatever "cause." Embarrassing really. ($10M would be roughly equivalent to a $50K salary giving $500. $100K giving $1000. Much more respectable amounts of yearly income (overall wealth in Seinfeld's case since he doesn't work for a salary and kind of never has... a different discussion)
