My, how times have changed.

48 years ago today, ABC aired a live broadcast gala celebration titled The Stars Salute Israel at 30.

Quote:

Performers included Anne Bancroft, Daniel Barenboim, Mikhail Baryshnikov, Debby Boone, Pat Boone, George Burns, Carol Burnett, Sammy Davis Jr., Kirk Douglas, Marvin Hamlisch, Kate Jackson, Gabe Kaplan, Gene Kelly, Alan King, Billie Jean King, Gelsey Kirkland, Barry Manilow, Paul Newman, Bernadette Peters, Flip Wilson and others. Sally Struthers sang "Happy Birthday Israel" accompanied by a group of children. She was followed by a short speech by the Vice President of the United States, Walter Mondale. Manilow performed "It's a Miracle". A comic skit featured Henry Winkler and Henry Fonda. Peters performed "Thank You for Being a Friend". Davis and Boone sang "This Land Is Mine". The ballerinas Galina and Valery Panov danced to the music of Star Wars by John Williams. The show concluded with Barbra Streisand accompanied by Zubin Mehta and the Los Angeles Philharmonic. Streisand performed "Tomorrow", "People" and "Happy Days Are Here Again". She then had a conversation via video link with the former Israeli Prime Minister Golda Meir.

One week ago I watched Spamalot in Fort Worth. There was a bit toward the end that makes the joke that any respectable military needs at least one Jew, with names beginning with Bette Midler and ending with George Santos.

Where there should have been roaring laughter there was muted giggles and uncomfortable fidgets as people consider whether they can laugh or should shake their head in displeasure.

Dems and their identity politics seek to ruin EVERYTHING, including Monty Python.

Antisemitism is on the rise again because the left are fascists and have the same beliefs as Hitler.

The point of digging up the old prime time live broadcast special was to contrast the rabid anti-Israeli sentiment in Hollywood today with the enthusiastic support for Israel 40 years ago. Anyone attending such an event today would never work in Hollywood again.

The irony is that Hollywood and entertainment in general is so disproportionately represented by Jewish people that it would make a laughing stock of the gerrymandering discussions. That said, most of them are only Jewish when it is convenient to be so.

It's on the rise because if you don't agree with Isreal you are automatically an antisemite. Because 80% of congress is bought by Aipac it makes the normal people question what's going on. It's on the rise because we know Epstien was a israeli spy raped little girls and Trump ran on releasing the files then told us it was a democratic hoax. Because our us Ambassador to Isreal told us the idf was more humane and better then the American soldier.

It's funny the Hitler reference when the Isreal first Americans seem like the ones using gestapo and Goebbels tactics.

Dems have moved on and replaced Judaism with Islam. Jews are no longer useful to them and therefore the enemy

They just go with the flow, or mimic the central tendency of the population.

If antisemitism suddenly becomes popular, they just adopt it as their new standard.

I'll make a new term that those libs should like… "transitory faux populism".

There are actors who on all sides (truly all sides, not both or this or that) who use social engineering, damn near automated with social media, complicit news outlets (on all sides) and now more AI influence to spin up bifurcations in the populace to create these popular uprisings amongst certain groups.

It is spread and amplified until it becomes a bit of a movement. Trumps actions in Iran created an opportunity to sow much discord on, you got it, ALL sides to create a narrative that Israel controls the US and Trump and conveniently is sets up well alongside previous faux populist gaslights around Epstein is Mossad, Palestinians are innocent victims of Semite Genocide, and the Gay Ayatollah is just a long line of Original Peaceful Persian Poets and one is required to be down with the OPPP if one was to stop the spread of Israel First.

If one applies critical thinking, none of it holds together. But there are lots of people who fall for this **** morning noon and night. And some of them are TexAgs f16 posters so we see it here as well.
