Sacha Baron Cohen’s Keynote Address at ADL’s 2019 Never Is Now Summit on Anti-Semitism and Hate
“I’ve searched my conscience, and I can’t for the life of me find any justification for this, and I simply cannot accept that there are on every story two equal and logical sides to an argument”
I… have to admit i was kind of gobsmacked to realize that’s the borat guy, but his point is eloquent and good so keep kicking ass, dude.
Despite being known best for his comedy characters, Sacha Baron Cohen is a graduate of Cambridge University, where he earned a history degree after writing his undergraduate thesis on the American civil rights movement. His mother’s family were German Jews and his father’s family were Ashkenazi Jews; he is also the grandson of a Holocaust survivor. He understands this issue all too well.
A lot of people seem to forget that comedy is derived from history and culture and without an extensive knowledge of both you can’t actually make good jokes. So many comedians are also stellar intellectuals; that’s why they’re funny.
Isn’t Zuckerberg….Jewish?
But he thinks it’s okay to leave holocaust denial bullshit on his stupid website?……why must he insist on being repulsive.
