Rob Schneider Says the U.S. ‘Must Restore the Military Draft’ Amid Iran War: ‘These Freedoms That We Cherish Do Not Come Without Cost’ (variety.com)

So this non-serving ass clown wants OTHER people to sign up for a draft to protect his “unparalleled freedoms and opportunities” while he sits back and enjoys them. Says our freedoms are the envy of the world. My brother, have you ever even left the country? Because nothing says “unparalleled freedom” like going bankrupt from a hospital visit, watching your kids do active shooter drills, and needing a draft to staff a military that already has the biggest budget on the planet. But sure, the whole world is just green with envy. Absolutely seething. They’re over there with their universal healthcare and paid parental leave just WISHING they could be us.

Of course he's jewish, but the real question is "is he a zionist". What the world needs to realize is that zionism is more dangerous and a much much bigger threat to the world than radical islam. And it shouldn't be considered racist to say that. Starting a war in Iran should be considered racist.

of course he's Jewish

His mother was Phillipino Catholic. You guys are like a bad Hogans heros episode.

Right, nothing wrong in being jewish. However, are there any zionists who are not jewish, and how to make a difference?

Lots of evangelicals in the US south are zionists...

If you are supportive of the Amerisrael War, then you're a Zionist, no matter what your religion is.

It isn't about religion, no matter what they claim, that's just an excuse. It is about National Sovereignty, and America and Israel don't want to acknowledge Iran's. If you shuffled the religious beliefs of those three countries, we'd still be in the same situation.
