It sounds like he is making an argument to the people committing the genocide and supporting it to show them why it is in their best interest not to do it. I did the same thing all of the time, fat lots of good does. Using moral arguments with some people and groups is a waste of time.

I know Seinfeld is just a piece of shit, but…
Isn’t Patinkin saying as much because he sees the genocide being committed in Gaza and thinks that it will hurt Jewish people worldwide to have such a heinous crime hanging over their shared culture? That he’s rightfully worried that the world will turn on Jewish people worldwide after seeing the horrors of what Netanyahu has done in Gaza?
A quote from Patinkin:
“How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?”
Huh, sounds like he understand the situation pretty well and isn’t peddling total bullshit like Seinfeld.

Yeah, I mean it can be both. Israel committing genocide is both wrong and makes the Jewish people less safe, as they have a country and its leaders creating more enemies. Not all Jewish people agree with Netanyahu or live in Israel.

Yeah, I watched him speak on the subject, in a similar clip, he ends up screaming about the atrocities being done and how truly awful it is.
