“Everybody calls me like, ‘You see Dave on SNL?’ And I say yes, we’re very good friends. I always watch and send nice texts,” Stewart began. “‘He normalized antisemitism with the monologue.’ I don’t know if you’ve been on comment sections on most news articles, but it’s pretty normal. It’s incredibly normal. But the one thing I will say is I don’t believe that censorship and penalties are the way to end antisemitism or to gain understanding. I don’t believe in that.

I agree with Jon that we need to understand each other and have conversations to promote better dialogue and resolution. I wish he had said he was doing this difficult work with his friend Chappelle instead of blithely suggesting it was NBD

THANK YOU jonstewart 👏🏾 Because the ADL been moving like they the Mafia. They’re putting anyone they deem antisemitic thru a social and financial holocaust and that’s no better.

I totally get it..I was there...I pray his final words weren't directed at TheJews
