    The billionaire hedge fund manager … called the news website’s executive editor John Cook an anti-Zionist who targeted his wife for being Israeli.

    There it is, this is what Israeli influence looks like. We have to root it out of America so we aren’t beholden to a nation committing genocide.

    “You see when you’re a billionaire you get to attack everyone, but your own hypocrisy cannot be questioned. I mean, if we started really looking at the crimes billionaires commit every day, people might want things to change.”

    Said the crooked billionaire who makes everyone’s lives miserable and kills the planet because he wants an extra zero on his net wealth.

    The code of the road:

    • Don’t criticize Israel
    • Don’t criticize Billionaires
    • Continue subsidising them with weapons transfers and tax cuts.
    • Shut the fuck up pleb

      He doesn’t give a shit about Israel. He just used that as an avenue to attack the editor because his wife is Israeli.

      This guy is a billionaire hedge fund manager. If nuking Israel was better for his bottom line, he’d be all for it. Same with slaughtering every single Palestinian. He doesn’t care. If he cared, he wouldn’t be a billionaire hedge fund manager.

    that guy can’t possibly walk around in public feeling safe.

    not without some other people paid a lot to be near him a lot to make him feel safe.

    that must kinda suck.

      The reason we haven’t had a redo of the French revolution, despite having a more fucked up tax system and higher economic disparities, is because the massively rich wised up. They don’t go in public very much.

      Private parties, private clubs, etc. if they do anything in public, it’s a minimum of several hundred dollars per person so that normies can’t afford to even look that direction.

        That’s not why. It’s because of 2 things.

        1: the average person doesn’t agree with you about murdering a bunch of people

        2: mob rule is stupid and the French revolution gave rise to a literal emperor.
