Joe Rogan: ‘The idea that Jewish people are not into money is ridiculous’
2023-02-12
Everybody is into money. Also status. Sometimes power.
[IsraelTimes] Popular podcast host defends Rep. Ilhan Omar’s 2019 tweet saying pro-Israel votes in Congress were ‘all about the Benjamins,’ for which she has since apologized.

Jewish comedian David Baddiel responds, as reported by Newsweek:
Joe Rogan Slammed for Saying Jews Are 'Into Money'

Rogan's comment caught the attention of U.S.-born British comedian David Baddiel, who slammed the podcaster on Tuesday for peddling a "racist myth."

Sharing a snippet of the podcast on Twitter, Baddiel, the author of Jews Don't Count, wrote: "I actually want to stop banging the Jews Don't Count drum at some point but hard to do when a racist myth about Jews is just...said, breezily, on one of the biggest podcasts in the world and no-one gives a f***."

He continued: "For the hard of understanding, 'Jews are into money' is not like 'Italians are into pizza. Because unless my history lessons really missed something out, no-one has exterminated a large section of the entire Italian community because of their love for pepperoni."

"This is what Joe is saying, with a big grin," Baddiel added as he shared an illustration from the antisemitic Nazi propaganda children's book Der Giftpilz (The Poisonous Mushroom/Toadstool).

One part of the 1938 German book reads: "Money is the god of the Jews. He commits the greatest crimes to earn money. He won't rest until he can sit on a great sack of money, until he has become king of money."

Concluding his thread, Baddiel said, "Also, Joe Rogan has a 200 Million dollar deal with Spotify. And yet apparently it's Jews who are into money."

#3  People who think Rogan is some big thinker who is a friend of non-leftists are deluded.

#1  Goes back to the Church's ban on usury. How do you build or obtain capital if you ban the practice? Outside investment. Who do you blame for your financial problems? Outside investment.
