“Claiming some Jewish ancestry, he [Dave Smith] has spent the 18 months since Oct. 7, 2023, being very unfunny indeed.

Specifically, he has decided to spend his time going around the podcast world sounding off about Israel.”

 

What is incorrect about what Murray said here?  He said he claimed Jewish ancestry which seems to be accurate if he has Jewish parents.  He claimed he spent the last 18 months being unfunny which is also a fact as if he is not doing a job as a comedian and acting instead as a pseudo journalist taking the side of the terrorists then he is clearly not being funny as he is not being a comedian when he does so.

 

What specifically did Murray say that was not accurate or true or offensive here?   You seem to be posting factual things that Murray has said and claiming what exactly?  Murray just stated a few perfectly reasonable facts about someone and you are claiming this is "disgraceful behavior"?   I know people of your ilk don't really like facts but do you have anything actually "disgraceful" he said or have you peaked already?

Yeh righty-o.

 

Let’s start with why Murray needs to make any statement at all about Dave Smith’s ancestry?

Perhaps start with hypocrite Smith. Then look back at your interpretations and claims that Murray is the hypocrite.

A mistake? quite a large one then, making such unsubstantiated claims over a video that never even had Murray in it and now proceed to claim the military expert was torn apart and I am being childish.

 

Take a peek at just some of his published work, John W. Spencer is a retired United States Army officer, researcher of urban warfare, and author. He currently serves as the chair of urban warfare studies. Been to Gaza a couple of times and you think he got hammered by a stand up comic

OK, IMO he got hammered but feel free to think whatever you want. I really could care less 🙂

I do feel free to think what I want, however its also backed up by facts that yes, you care not of but cared enough to respond to my post first.
