Actor Wallace Shawn sparked outrage from the Jewish community with his latest podcast episode, in which he compared Israel's actions to the Nazis, claiming they are 'democratically evil' and 'boast about it'. Shawn, known for his leftist views, has previously made divisive statements.
that Israel is “doing evil that is just as great as what the Nazis did.” His comments have sparked outrage from the Jewish community, but not surprise as he has been vocal in sharing his divisive views before.
Regarding the Nazi comparison, Shawn contended: “In some ways it’s worse, because they kind of boast about it. Hitler had the decency to try to keep it secret. For some reason, Hitler didn’t want people to know he was doing these things to the Jews. The Israelis are almost proud of it, and it’s demonically evil. And anybody who doesn’t recognize that it’s evil, I can’t, probably, communicate with that person. That might be temporary insanity.
Later, he added, “I can imagine that some Israelis who are today in support of what their country is doing in Gaza or in the West Bank, even some of them might in 10 years wake up and say, ‘Why did I justify that?’” After his segment on the Nazis, he said, “Of course, must consciously or unconsciously know that every single day they are making the hatred increase. And the hatred level is something we can’t imagine.”The Best Valentine’s Day Gifts for Men That Aren’t Power Tools or Boring Neckties, from a David Beckham-Approved Speaker to NFL Slippers.
