This is the first I'm hearing that Biden has the hostages. It is pretty fucked up that he won't let them go ngl
All locked in a room while he tells them stories like the first time he drove a Camero.
Listen, Jack, ihm ahinth schm nh hstggs hmgmm tshe kllmhhhmmm Israel gets to do genocide ahhrgt
Sacha Baron-Cohen of all people did this?
You mean the celebrated comedian whose most famous schticks are the generic Muslim Middle Eastern dictator who is terrible in every way and the Central Asian anti-Semite who is sexually deranged and borderline uncivilized?
Why, it's almost as if this was inverted and a Muslim man from the Middle East played a grossly stereotyped depiction of an Israeli Jew for cheap laughs that there would be an immense outcry against what clearly amounts to open bigotry and racist caricature...
To his Credit, SBC also played a grossly stereotyped Israeli for laughs as Elan Morad
I think there's a discussion to be had about satirising the in-group vs satirising the out-group, especially when it comes to how privilege intersects with this stuff.
Obviously there's the whole both-sidesism thing and also how equal opportunity bigotry primarily serves the interests of the dominant groups.
I think the main joke about Elan morrad isn’t how racist Israelis are though- but it’s certainly a part of the setup.
the joke is that Americans can be conned into insane Islamophobia because they worship the Israeli “security” apparatus.
I think he was playing some 3D chess by “criticizing both sides,” the left for correctly believing that the IDF is a genocidal force, and the right for believing the same and praising it
Yeah but only because it made the Republicans buy into his schtick.
He also played a very funny gay Austrian in Bruno but everyone forgets that.
Imagine if SBC had better politics and he used that character and his brand of irreverence to get some real mask off reactions about the current situation.
Borat and What Is America had many scenes that explored the American zeitgeist in their respective eras. WIA had some funny moments like when he got some Republican politician to say dumb shit and got Dick Cheney to sign a water board jug. It’s offensive enough for liberals to seem like they’re not voting, but not radical enough to really “expose” anything.*
*Though one time he got some hotel manager to reveal that he can procure underage girls. They reported it to the FBI, but he likely reported one of their own agents.
Remember the end of the Chicago Seven when he did a revisionism stating that the USA system is the best and working within it is the only way to go?
when he did a revisionism
Aaron Sorkin wrote and directed that movie, I don't think you can pin that all on SBC
It wasn't Sacha Baron Cohen who signed it.
It was Colonel Erran Morad.
Reminder he exploited and ridiculed deeply impoverished people in rural Romania while making Borat.

The dude is a raging zionist, so he didn't take much convincing.
Brb gonna write a strongly worded letter to the king of Jordan about the overcomplication of German tax law.
if you take any kind of moral stand and find out the goop lady is a cosigner, maybe think about what you're doing
Wait, when did Hamas claim responsibility for the ICE facilities?
I think she's just not popular enough to make it beyond "and more".
They are in the Illuminati and thus know Biden is secretly the leader of Hamas
these liberals they have a week grasp of how hostage taking works. That or they think Biden runs Hamas
Critical support to Joe Biden in his war against Israel. Real dark brandon hours
i want to make a joke about like PFLP biden wearing a keffiyeh and hijacking a plane bound for tel aviv but it's actually insane that this fucking mummy is openly encouraging netanyahu to commit genocide and these stupid fucking Celebs are like "uhh sir mr president when are you going to tell Hamas to Stand Down sir" idk they gotta be cutting the adrenochrome with bleach or something
Can't decide if this or the celebs singing imagine in the beginning of COVID was dumber
That was tone deaf, but at least it wasn't trying to contain political content. Writing an open letter on behalf of the status quo to the president, and phrasing it like that is just so dumb.
True, though there is something so specially demonic and symbolically powerful about cars of celebrities singing amid mass death.
