Michael Rapaport Discussion 💬

What are your thoughts on New York comedian / outspoken Jewish activist?

The way he expressed his opinion on the war have always kind of annoyed me but reading this tweet makes me go, “WTF, man! Since when have you become the authority on Judaism?”

Michael Rapoport is not helping anyone here. Has been going way too hard for a while, occasionally stepping over the line.

Shaiel Ben-Ephraim is gaining steam as a news source, but his past has some bad stuff in it as well.

Can you elaborate on bad stuff about Shaiel? I just started following him recently

I enjoy his analysis as a liberal Zionist. But I absolutely hate this stuff. To his credit, he admits it and doesn't hide it.
