I'm surprised more outlets aren't picking it up since WWE is usually pretty on top of spreading these stories when they happen to various places.

There is definitely a huge difference between MJF taking ownership of his Jewish identity wanting to overcome antisemitism as a beloved face, and WWE having an Italian American essentially do brownface. At least Shawn Daivari is an actual Iranian-American, so that made things slightly better. But still.
I even see where he's coming from in pushing this angle now of all times. He wants to use this angle as a means to confront antisemitism in the most public way possible. But feelings are still too raw from current events.

Because Vince McMahon doesn’t know how to do subtlety. I’m sure he thought it was brilliant storytelling. i'm not saying you're wrong but without these last few months, declaring MJF is subtle would've been f***ing hilarious lmao. Won’t argue with you there! Dude’s actually been a bit “too much” at times for me.

One of the absolute worst parts of all of this is the unavoidable fact that we're going to have to hear the likes of Jim Cornette, Bully Ray, and Disco Inferno's thoughts on the Israel-Hamas War now.

One of the more annoying things about this is WWE Stan Troll accounts using this as a way to act like they not only always cared about anti-semitism and the ongoing issues, but as a way to say AEW should be cancelled forever by Turner
There is one thing stuff like this tells me and it is that some people legit have no lives of their own and it's truly pathetic lol

So how soon before Phil Muschnick discusses this and now starts targeting AEW?
The worst part of this controversy is that this was supposed to be MJFs year, winning the world title AND his first film role (he's playing Lance Von Erich in The Iron Claw,,a minor role but still a role in a film that's being released nationwide), instead, now he's mired in controversy.

My MSN homepage when I log onto my computer at work just has a bad habit of hitting me with the "55-year-old WCW veteran ROASTS AEW for its stance on Hamas" type articles, and it's inevitably some nonsense Disco said on his podcast. I was mostly just making light of the absurdity of all of this.

My heart just hurts for so many f***ing people right now. that's really what it comes down to for me and especially because all signs point to this somehow getting a million times worse. my apprehension and discomfort is only rooted a little in the week past, it is fully ingrained in the inevitable months forward.

I will give MJF this. He said he'd get wrestling fans to have a conversation, and I mean, we're 12 pages into evidence he's not off-base on that.
Now, whether or not it's going to go to a good place, the answers are less immediately obvious.

I'm gonna be 100% honest, as a small town British guy who's closest connection to the Jewish community is enjoying a Bagel for lunch now and then, I didn't even realise it was a Jewish thing. I just thought it was Juice referencing knocking people out and Max cutting the segment short because they were running over.

It's really sad how tribalism has turned this into a WWE vs AEW thing, by both sides, on Twitter.
As for Cornette, Brian Last will absolutely educate Jim on this if he's confused. I'll bet my house on that.

I think most people watching know about the connection because Max has told the story about being beaten with quarters as a kids
