He used to crack me up as a kid. My favorite schtick was when he played his character, J. Schwartz New York (always staying at the Sherry Netherlands), which I haven’t been able to find on a film clip… 👍🏼🤣
@John Scanlon8833 Cohen's humor would be despised in Israel. It's gentle, forgiving, ironic and funny. It's about human beings. And it's Yiddish. Not Hebrew. Have you seen Israeli "comedy"? It's the farthest thing in the world from this clip.
As a journalist wrote, The Palestinians don’t have normal lives because when given the choice in 1948 between partition and war, they chose the latter. Conflict over land and resources may be the normal condition of mankind, but it is not normal for one society to wage war for decades, lose in war despite military, financial, and political support from larger powers and, because those larger powers incentivize more war, continue to make war. This isn’t normal. In fact, there is no example of anything like it in world history.
