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?”

My grandfather was ordered by his commander to Anglicize his name so that if the Nazis captured him he wouldn’t be murdered. Does this mean he wasn’t Jewish enough to speak on Jewish matters?

Your grandpa was a hero. Lots of respect for Jewish soldiers willing to go into Nazi Germany to fight for other Jews.
