Fucking Jerry Seinfeld, take a note of how to be fucking educated*.

(*I don't mean that you should hang out around high schools, mind you.)

Well yeah. Because all that stuff they teach you about "they hate Jews because they're crazy and they teach them as kids" is propaganda, designed to make you hate them. They hate being bombed and shot at and kicked out of their homes and having their land and stuff stolen, same as any people.

It's a short clip, I gotta watch the full thing. I love Jason Alexander (not his actual name, there's a funny story behind it he gives in another interview) and I was afraid of his opinions on this entire thing because of how fucking disgusting Jerry is ... I didn't want to lose respect for Jason. I'm glad to see this clip.
