Editor’s note: Around 30% of VT’s editor’s and bureau chiefs (perhaps a bit more) are Jewish, all consider themselves anti-Zionists and VT itself had, long ago, after careful investigation, found itself duty bound to save America’s Jews from the false narrative and fakery of the ADL and other organizations that are just as bad as Facebook.
We include this anyway as it is news and we are neither the ADL nor Zuckstein, we don’t tell people how to think.  We aren’t Nazis.

Daily Beast: Sacha Baron Cohen accepted the International Leadership Award at the Anti-Defamation League’s Never is Now summit on anti-Semitism and hate Thursday. And the comedian and actor used his keynote speech to single out the one Jewish-American who he believes is doing the most to facilitate “hate and violence” in America: Facebook founder and CEO Mark Zuckerberg.

He began with a joke at the Trump administration’s expense. “Thank you, ADL, for this recognition and your work in fighting racism, hate and bigotry,” Baron Cohen said, according to his prepared remarks. “And to be clear, when I say ‘racism, hate and bigotry’ I’m not referring to the names of Stephen Miller’s Labradoodles.”

“At times, some critics have said my comedy risks reinforcing old stereotypes,” he admitted, defending himself by explaining, “as a comedian, I’ve tried to use my characters to get people to let down their guard and reveal what they actually believe, including their own prejudice.”



With all of this in mind, Baron Cohen turned to the rise of demagoguery, conspiracy theories and hate crimes around the world, and pointed to what he sees as the most logical explanation for this dangerous trend.

“All this hate and violence is being facilitated by a handful of internet companies that amount to the greatest propaganda machine in history,” he said.

And to him, no one bears more responsibility than the man who created Facebook. “It’s like we’re living in the Roman Empire, and Mark Zuckerberg is Caesar,” he said at one point. “At least that would explain his haircut.”

  1. Contrary to the “Editor’s Note”, the fact that this guy got an award from the f**king ADL, for me, discounts anything he has to say, whatsoever, but thanks for not telling me how to think, just the same.
