In February, Friends actor David Schwimmer called on Musk to ban Kanye West from X after he made a series of antisemitic posts.
Schwimmer called on Musk, the owner of X, to remove West from the platform.
“This is so 2022,” said Schwimmer. “We can’t stop a deranged bigot from spewing hate-filled, ignorant bile… but we CAN stop giving him a megaphone, Mr Musk.”
Bold of Schwimmer to assume Musk in any way disagrees with Ye’s views.
Elon is not just holding the megaphone, he’s actively cranking up the volume dial.
I find it strange that David Schwimmer made a public plea for decency when it was about anti-semitism but not for any of the rest of the hateful shit projectile-blasted around that echo chamber.
He’s also rich and Jewish, probably doesn’t give a fuck about any injustice unless it’s antisemitism.
Edit: so it turns out he’s spoken out against injustice plenty of times before, when it wasn’t about Jews. He even lobbied to get more non-white people on Friends, such as his character’s Asian-American girlfriend. It’s not all disingenious with him, even though his support of Israel is regretful.
Like the wealthy asian celebrities decrying antisemitism and not stop Asian hate? Or the black celebrities campaigning to stop Asian hate, not BLM? How odd for someone to speak out against hate for their own group. Never happens! And how terrible that a person with power, who is like every other person with power, in that they don’t ever speak out, for finally using their platform. This place is antisemitic including your barely dog whistle comment that you wouldn’t make about any other ethnicity. Unless your history has hot takes about the Palestinian celebrities not speaking up for the Zapatistas, of course. Because your comment wasn’t just bc Jews, right?
He’s also pro-Israel and at this point in time, I reckon that zionists are morally on a similar level to nazis, and David Schwimmer does support them. Or at least he was at an ADL event recently and I don’t think I’ve heard him say genocide is bad?
However, the comment a couple of levels up is incorrect. Upon just a little bit of research, I’ve discovered Schwimmer has also attended BLM protests, and has spoken out against violence against women as well. Which means he does actually care about injustice and I’m gonna have to add a disclaimer to my previous comment.
Anyway, my comment in its original form was meant as mostly anti-rich-celebrity. To be clear, I’m anti-zionist too, but not antisemitic and never meant to come across that way. My thought process was that anyone living in America who truly cares about injustice in general should be worried about injustice against black people and latinos first and foremost, other ethnicities and religions second, so anyone who only wakes up when it’s injustice against Jews, is probably either a bit self-centered, or outright zionist. Well, David Schwimmer clearly didn’t JUST wake up, he’s been woke for a long time now. To be clear, I mean that as a good thing.
Yeah, see my edit. While he’s spoken out in defense of Israel, he does also have a track record of opposing injustice where he sees it even if it doesn’t affect him or people in his own ethnic, religious or other groups.

He just wants to be in the news cycle again.

Unless he’s puling a Seinfeld when I wasn’t looking, I’ll reserve that judgement for another day.
