I think it’s important to watch the clip that this headline of Mandy Patinkin is referencing to be able to appreciate the fuller context of this meme. Unfortunately, this meme is vague enough to confuse people comparing what Seinfeld said with what Patinkin said. Patkin also does an amazing throw back to Princess Bride to make his point too! https://youtu.be/dFjOb9DGS1w
I just love Mandy for that shrillness he allows into his voice at the end. He’s passionate about this.
Wow, that’s just fucking dishonest for people to twist what he actually mean. Just because his perspective didn’t start from the people of gaza doesn’t mean he didn’t think the situation is fucked up and the israel government is fucking evil. People who twist his words have the ulterior motive of wanting the eradication of Israel.
Edit: on second thought, the pic above doesn’t claim patinkin don’t care about the palestinians, but they word it in a way it feels like he just care about the israeli.
This is the context I came to the comments for. Thank you. I knew Mandy was a solid human.
I know Seinfeld is just a piece of shit, but…
Isn’t Patinkin saying as much because he sees the genocide being committed in Gaza and thinks that it will hurt Jewish people worldwide to have such a heinous crime hanging over their shared culture? That he’s rightfully worried that the world will turn on Jewish people worldwide after seeing the horrors of what Netanyahu has done in Gaza?
A quote from Patinkin:
“How could it be done to you and your ancestors, and you turn around and do it to someone else?”
Huh, sounds like he understand the situation pretty well and isn’t peddling total bullshit like Seinfeld.
It sounds like he is making an argument to the people committing the genocide and supporting it to show them why it is in their best interest not to do it. Using moral arguments with some people and groups is a waste of time.
They already Trust the people convincing them to do it.
Yeah, I watched him speak on the subject, in a similar clip, he ends up screaming about the atrocities being done and how truly awful it is.
Thank dog, I thought I was going to have to not watch Inigo Montoya again.
Yeah, I mean it can be both. Israel committing genocide is both wrong and makes the Jewish people less safe, as they have a country and its leaders creating more enemies in their name. Not all Jewish people agree with Netanyahu or live in Israel.
Jesus fucking Christ. What a cretin Seinfeld is.
Based Inigo Montoyo, at least.
In a July 2025 New York Times interview with his wife Grody, Patinkin was critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s policies during the Gaza War, arguing that his actions are “endangering the Jewish population all over the world” and that “to watch what is happening, for the Jewish people to allow this to happen to children and civilians of all ages in Gaza, for whatever reason, is unconscionable and unthinkable.”[64][65][66]
Can’t express my relief that he’s a good guy. Having a complicated relationship with The Princess Bride would break me tbh
Inconceivable!
You could just enjoy the movie regardless of what one actor might think?
Is that how it works for you? The Thriller album is still a bop for me but I’d never call it an uncomplicated enjoyment. Just an example.
No. Not on this.
Seinfeld used to be my favorite show alongside the simpsons. Luckily Larry David has not come out of the closet as a total piece of shit. He was the one that wrote almost the entire Seinfeld series.
Wild that George and Elaine are the best humans of those four when they were arguably the worst in the show. Fuck Jerry, fuck Michael Richards, and even though he’s otherwise been ok fuck Larry for the crytpo shilling
I’ve posted this elsewhere, I don’t think Richards is a piece of shit like Seinfeld.
The Michael Richards incident was a literal one time event, albeit a terrible one. There were zero instances before and zero instances after that suggest Richards is racist. Everything since then Michaels has done suggests he’s exceedingly remorseful over it.
I am not excusing it in the least, but I don’t think it’s even close to fair to compare him to someone currently supporting the genocide in Palestine.
Richards just did a bad thing once trying to shut down a heckler and it backfired hard. People just don’t want to ever forgive.
Is it even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no. Is it something a non-racist person would ever even think to say? Also hell no.
So you excuse Seinfeld here, but still hold Richards 100% accountable?
Nah, they are saying Seinfeld is excusing a genocide.
Also a hell no. In fact what are you talking about? What did I say that you feel implied that?
Is it [Seinfeld’s comments] even close to publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.
It looks to me like what they’re referring to is Michael Richards tirade being uncomparable to Jerry’s comments that were supporting the genocide. That’s how I read it, anyway.
But I mean he (Richards) was talking about lynching the guy at the Laugh Factory, so even as far as racism goes, that’s pretty fucking up there.
Okay, I suppose I was too vague.
Is it [Richard’s comments] even close to [ being as bad as] publicly supporting a genocide? Hell no.
I’m saying Richards may be a better person than Seinfeld, but I wouldn’t excuse his words or actions because they’re not something a non-racist would ever even think to do or say.
Hope that is clear now.
Larry David introduced RFK Jr and his wife (Cheryl Hines, also from cye)
I have words. Jerry is a piece of shit. Mandy is a treasure.
hes the guy that left criminal MINDS show, because it became too glorified for violence.
Want to point out Seinfeld is currently on tour and basically trying to get free press to sell tickets.
He doesn’t care about anything but his shit ton of money. Fuck him.
His money and underage women
seriously what is the deal with dumb celebrities?
Well you see, when you’re insulated from horrors, you might not be aware that they are horrors.
Like how vaccines have insulated most of us from the horrors of disease, and consequently there are a shit-ton of people who don’t take disease precautions seriously. Just had a guy at the hardware store give me a dirty look, presumably because I was masking.
Rich enough to outrun consequences.

The elephant graveyard is a Joe Rogan channel.
A clueless and amoral Ashkenazi/European “Jew” supports the genocidal ethnostate his forefathers fought so hard to build and his tribe is currently murdering innocents to maintain? Woah!
OMG you can have good and bad jews? is that a thing?
Good Jew: Jesus, from Nazareth.
Bad Jew: Jared, from Subway.
You can have good and bad people, for sure. I don’t see why those categories couldn’t each include any/every religion.
I never saw the appeal of Seinfeld. Joseph Goebbels was just a little bit funnier.
