    I think it’s important to watch the clip that this headline of Mandy Patinkin is referencing to be able to appreciate the fuller context of this meme. Unfortunately, this meme is vague enough to confuse people comparing what Seinfeld said with what Patinkin said. Patkin also does an amazing throw back to Princess Bride to make his point too! https://youtu.be/dFjOb9DGS1w

      Wow, that’s just fucking dishonest for people to twist what he actually mean. Just because his perspective didn’t start from the people of gaza doesn’t mean he didn’t think the situation is fucked up and the israel government is fucking evil. People who twist his words have the ulterior motive of wanting the eradication of Israel.

      Edit: on second thought, the pic above doesn’t claim patinkin don’t care about the palestinians, but they word it in a way it feels like he just care about the israeli.

        The meme could be interpreted as contrasting the two. I read it as such at first, but started doubting as I read the comments.

      I just love Mandy for that shrillness he allows into his voice at the end. He’s passionate about this.

      This is the context I came to the comments for. Thank you. I knew Mandy was a solid human.
