Judy Gold shocked by 'brazen' antisemitism during two NYC shows this weekend

A veteran New York standup tells Page Six she’s “shocked [by] how brazen” antisemites have become at the city’s comedy clubs.

Judy Gold was left “stunned” when she encountered Jew-hating hecklers at two different comedy clubs over the weekend.

Gold, 63, was performing at the New York Comedy Club on Friday night when a vile audience member shouted “You’re a Jew” as a slur.

Gold, who has been performing stand-up for over 40 years, says she has encountered plenty of annoying audience members, but nothing like this.
...
Gold said she’s “shocked” by “how brazen” racists have become, remembering that the last time she heard anything like that was decades ago.

“The last time it happened was 30 plus years ago in Marietta, Georgia,” she told us. “Someone yelled out, ‘Jews have all the money,’ and I said, ‘Yeah, that’s why I’m doing this gig in Marietta, Georgia.”

I'm glad the club gave the racist moron of the antisemitic grade the boot, a proportional consequence. Gold does not deserve being a target for racists, though as anti-Trump, she should reflect a bit on which party has been embracing antisemites for at least 2 or 3 decades and has gotten antisemites into Congress ... not to mention Mayor of NYC (what are the Las Vegas odds that Gold sheepleishly voted for Mamdani?).

If I'm stuck with a weird ultra-hybrid language like English, I'm going to have fun with it!

Lunatic Worker Torches Enough Toilet Paper for 50M People Over Wages, Puts 20 Folks Out of Work

There was a great example of the male version of a disgruntled virtue-signaling mah-roon in action the other night. Whose self-absorbed protest movement imperiled the lives of his twenty fellow warehouse laborers and the 175 firefighters who had to respond to handle the results of his pyro tantrum.

29-year-old Chamel Abdulkarim worked for the warehouse contracting company NFI Industries, which is a third-party logistics provider for paper goods giant Kimberly-Clark. Abdulkarim was employed at the company's massive distribution center in Ontario, California. The volume of goods handled there is simply staggering, as the 1.2M sqft 'tissue paper' facility contains enough product to handle the needs of 50 million people.

In his own words posted to social media, it appears Mr. Abdulkarim was unimpressed with both his working conditions and what he got paid to be there.

So he decided he would stage a fiery protest during work hours - in a paper goods warehouse - ranting about his poor, sucky life as he proceeded to light off reams of toilet paper.

The 1.2 million square feet warehouse has been flattened, and 20 other workers' jobs were also incinerated. Brilliant!
