    What a piece of shit. And this guy was running US foreign policy? Wow. Saudis must be regretting paying this man $40m a year to manage their billions.

      Didn’t they give him a 99 year lease on a Manhattan building? I remember reading something about a $2 billion dollar value between nepo baby and the Saudis…

      Jared Kushner is a fucking slumlord and a losing one at that; I don’t think for two seconds anyone is expecting him to successfully “manage” anything but his in-laws. Which is what the cash is for, regardless of what they want to call it. If his father-in-law weren’t Donald Trump they wouldn’t even know his name.

    …" but from Israel’s perspective I would do my best to move the people out and then clean it up,” Kushner said. “But I don’t think that Israel has stated that they don’t want the people to move back there afterwards.”

    Masoud replied that there was “a lot to talk about there”.>

    Yea, no shit.

      He doesn’t have principles, just as Trump doesn’t. With them it’s just whatever the most self-serving move is in the moment, every moment.

    Remember, Lex Fridman platformed Jared Kushner and Tucker Carlson in front of his millions of listeners for them to spew their right wing propaganda. Lex is a fucking hack, and a wolf in sheep’s clothing.

      He also platformed a Palestinian in a powerful interview. We don’t need to be so afraid of words. People can think for themselves.

        I’m not afraid of words. I am expressing my own displeasure with Lex Fridman by using words right now. If you don’t agree with my opinion then that is your prerogative, but what I said was factually accurate. You won’t find that same factual accuracy in either of those interviews, and that is the fucking problem.

          An interview isn’t meant to be factual like a news report. The whole point is to hear someone’s perspective. Friedman’s project is to expose his listeners to a broad spectrum of views. That’s an honorable goal.

            I see, you are one of those people who’s mind is so open, your brain has fallen out. Makes perfect sense now.

    Maybe we should banish him to the desert instead after leveling his home and selling it to property developers, see how he feels about the concept then.

      He’d still be left better off than Palestinians, even ignoring any assets he has that aren’t tied to his home, because he wasn’t bombed while en route to the suggested safe zone.

      Yeah, while we can criticize Biden for going along with Israel’s attacks on Palestinians, it’s pure fantasy to imagine Trump and his associates would be any less enthusiastic. All the signs are that they’d be even more enthusiastic, plus they have the support of the crazy evangelicals who want to bring about the Rapture.

        If you accept bribes to look the other way, you do that always.

        I mean, it’s just that for a few decades the poorer side of most conflicts was both usually plain worse and usually unable to negotiate (say, DPRK vs South Korea …).

        It was very convenient to hide the mechanism where Israel, Saudi Arabia and Turkey are on the “good” side.

      Biden is actually doing the genocide. Kushner is just flapping his lips. If we were talking about Americans starving instead of Palestinians, no one would be making excuses for Biden. But it’s brown people overseas, so it’s just an unpleasant fact we need to make peace with.

    Almost comical how comicbook villain he is.

    It’s like a troll tried to craft the most annoying inflammatory statement they could

      This is close to Lex Luthor’s plot in the 78 Superman movie.

      I remember people telling me that Captain Planet had unrealistic villains.

    So could his properties in NYC. I wonder how he’d feel about Netanyahu bombing his penthouse and seizing his own real estate.

    And if he doesn’t like that, we just need to remind him of the great value inherent to those properties.

      Eh, they do? I’ve never met such IRL (I live in Moscow, if something). On the Web it’s hard to tell how many are trolls or have nothing to do to fill the void inside except to write aggressive bullshit.
