Joe Slater: Au contraire, I am Pope of All the Jews (*) and my spicy takes shall govern us all. For example, I have decreed that blueberry bagels are apikorsus, so shall it be, Amen. (*) No point in being Rabbi of All the Jews, nobody listens to rabbis.

I wish more people could distinguish between “Jews are generally the most reliable source for distinguishing when critique of Israeli governance and policy veers into antisemitism, although there’s intra-communal debate that should be taken into account” and “let Big Jew tell you who’s a Nazi.”

It's me, I'm Big Jew.

I'm not even Jewish (just grew up near New York) and I agree. Before I got a masters in Rabbinic Literature, though, I would have called them heresy.

Ahem, I believe Ben Shapiro is Pope of the Jews. Only he can determines who amongst us is truly apikorsim

SCHISMATIC! But if Shapiro is willing to move to Avignon and e.g. eat his loathsome blueberry bagels there, there may be room to compromise.
