.@joerogan saying “the idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza” would make sense if Jews invented money and/or Italians had been massacred because of a conspiracy that they control the world through pizza. pic.twitter.com/odzZzFHIYG

I’m shocked to discover the clip below of @joerogan indulging in vile antisemitism by flippantly insisting ‘Jews love money like Italians love pizza’
Joe, do you realize you sound just like @IlhanMN and Kanye?!
Dont you realize that your words foment Jew-hatred?!
Shame on you! https://t.co/nfD7k3GOur pic.twitter.com/wQFvwoNldM

Joe Rogan telling his audience of tens of millions that Jews are into money in the same way Italians are into pizza actually is a bigger deal than you think.

Joe has gone rogue.
He’s saying that one thing that you’re definitely supposed to never, ever say.
Joe Rogan has been accused of “casually spouting antisemitism” on his hit podcast while trying to defend under-fire progressive Rep. Ilhan Omar from the same charge.
The UFC commentator was discussing how certain terms led to people getting canceled when he decried the Democratic “squad” member getting booted from the House Foreign Affairs Committee for her past anti-Semitic comments.
He highlighted Omar (D-Minn.) “apologizing for talking about it’s ‘all about the Benjamins,’” he said of the congresswoman’s 2019 message about American support for Israel.
In 2019, Rep. Omar again tweeted an anti-Semitic trope claiming “It’s all about the Benjamins baby,” in reference to American politicians’ support for Israel.

“You said that Israel ‘hypnotized the world.’ You said Israel is an ‘apartheid regime,’ that politicians with pro-Israel stances were ‘all about the Benjamins,’…compared the U.S. and Israel to Hamas and the Taliban.”

“It’s just about money — she’s just talking about money,” Rogan said on an episode of “The Joe Rogan Experience” posted on Spotify Saturday.
“That’s not an anti-Semitic statement, I don’t think that is,” Rogan insisted of the term widely denounced as a racist trope.
“Benjamins are money. The idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous. That’s like saying Italians aren’t into pizza. It’s f—ing stupid. It’s f—ing stupid,” he said.
Rogan then said that “whether you agree with her or not,” Omar had shared “a bold opinion.”
“And that opinion is not her own — there’s many people that have that opinion, and they should be represented,” he said.
However, he soon found himself under attack, with some critics even tagging Spotify to ask whether the streaming service was “happy” that its “multimillion-dollar podcaster” was “casually spouting antisemitism.”
At this point, I actually believe that Joe Rogan is not being censored by Spotify.
The Jews with all of these most powerful organizations were calling for Ye’s music to be pulled, and Spotify was like “yeah, nah – we ain’t doing that, actually.”
Joe Rogan will of course come up with some excuse for claiming Jews are obsessed with money.
But here’s @JoeRogan responding to someone praising Jewish resilience in spite of hate, how?
