“We should feel bad for everybody. All the families. All the children.” Excuse me Whoopi?!?! If that’s not an “All Lives Matter” comment I don’t know what is!!!! Is there no limit to idiotic hypocrisy in this world?!?!? Asking for a friend. 🤦🏽‍♀️

Karen Johnson’s satiric stage name is itself born of an antisemitic trope. Acting skill is no substitute for intelligence, clearly.

Yes, that is what the response to Whoopi Clod Goldberg should have been from the other hosts who didn’t have the guts, interest or decency to do so.

Bravo. So well expressed.

Whoopi Goldberg is a disgrace. A miserable human. She's not even funny anymore. Or just in her brutish, dehumanised way. She's particularly savage as she is aging badly.

Whitewashing Nazis by making everything the same also shows her basic lack of decency, masked in idiotic self-righteousness.

When the Democrats paint Jews as Nazis, then it makes sense that they offer no empathy for dead Israelis, any more than we mourned the death of actual Nazis at the end of WWII.

For too long, Jews have not fought back enough on that characterization, which seems to paint Jews as sub-human, war criminals.

Israel needs a much better propaganda and PR apparatus, capable of counting the negative onslaught of social-media disinformation.

In the United States, fake Jews need to stop performative siding against Israel to gather acceptance in various affinity groups. In the end, those Jews will still be ostracized from society, betrayed by their genetics/family tree.

No better than Kapos are they. Sell outs.

Our blood is cheap to the kapo- and nazis. I am disgusted with all who turn against ISRAEL.

The time has come to teach but one lesson to those wishing us to 'take a knee', submit to dragged out torture and experimentations unimaginable. We do not have to go about explaining our right to exist to barbaric fools on the march... the Orcs serving their master hypnotized by greed and coveting whilst they can NEVER have! No antisemite should enter JEWISH land. I have lived my life between two Holocausts and am old enough to be done with mortal enemies. If the countries that brought us to the ovens, if my kin slaughtered at Babi Yar have voice only through me, so be it.

One lesson will get through the blockheads who hate us....

'never mess with THE JEWS"

Yes we mourn and ...cursed be the enemies who have sullied the rest of the world with their foul atrocities. I WILL NEVER FORGIVE. ZACHOR.

"Before Sara could even sit with the enormity of what had happened, the show’s co-host Whoopi Goldberg shut the conversation down. Not gently. Not thoughtfully. With the sort of dismissive, curmudgeonly impatience that had become all too familiar throughout the war.

“We should feel bad for everybody,” she snapped. “All the families. All the children.” "

Perhaps Whoopi might have had a better understanding if Sara had responded, "So all lives matter, Whoopi, just like in 2020, am I right?"

Whoopi’s comment is the same as replying to”all lives matter” to someone proclaiming “black lives matter” after a tragic death in that community.

Until we collectively stand up to this “whataboutism” this atrocity will continue. The other side is so afraid of confronting barbarism, they will demand equal time for true evil.

I have to give Whoopi credit for one positive thing in my life, during the pandemic days , the View was on my T.V. Just because I was busy and I hadn't changed the channel. She started her give her vaccine speech, and that was it, I unplugged my T.V. and never turned it on again! I had a little bit of withdrawal ( from T.V., not from Whoopi). But I kept thinking about how peaceful it was at my grandparents house, ( they purposely had no T.V.). I love not having that "progaming" in the background any more. I read a lot more. But I have noticed many of the things I used to enjoy on substack are using IA too much, the articles are much longer, but I don't need to hear a point five different ways, please edit and I won't have to quit reading before the article is over. I really hate it when someone loses that passion to communicate and gives it up to IA.

thank you for this piece. so eloquent. so filled with love and empathy. maybe we should grieve for Whoopi who lives her life without empathy for others. lots of judgment. no understanding. so sad. i do not excuse her. i am glad that is not me.

Whoopi is filled with anger. her producers should retire her.

Her comments are what I would expect from the left leaning community of color. We were all expected to “do the work” and were shamed and vilified for our “micro-aggressions” in my case that included a preference for organic food, and misspelling Muslim for Moslem. Yea, looks like “the work” mattered only when we was workin’ for them. And what’s with her coopting the Jewish name “Goldberg”? Shall we discuss cultural appropriation, another left wing scold?

I did not mean you about the IA.
