Adam Friedland is a 38-year-old failed Jewish comedian from Brooklyn.
Some on the left love him because he has a podcast where he both tells jokes and espouses far-left views. He was a BernieBro in 2016 and 2020.
He's everything you'd expect out of a millennial left wing cuck, from the effeminate looks, whiny mannerisms, and overly emotional takes.
Now he's getting attention from Jew haters everywhere -- but especially those on the left -- for literally crying on camera regarding how Israel has ruined Judaism for him.

This is resonating with leftists because it's supposedly a complaint coming from the inside (a fellow Jew), yet is couched in a lot of "I'm proud to be Jewish" rhetoric. This is exactly what leftists have been trying to project for a long time. "We don't hate Jews at all, we just hate the cruel Israeli government! See! That guy's a Jew and he totally gets it!"
Except it's all bullshit.
Friedland has built an identity around being a Jew who hates Israel and loves Palestine. He claims it spawned from being 19 years old and spending a year in Israel, and noticing the stark differences in living conditions between Israelis and Palestinians. His view of the situation is simplistic and naive, but let's put that aside for the moment.
For whatever the reason, he has been anti-Israel and pro-Palestine for a long time. This wasn't something that fired up in him because he saw a "genocide" occurring post-10/7/23. For quite some time, Friedland has blindly taken up for the Palestinian cause, being willfully blind to any wrongdoing on that side of the fence.
He likes to say what a lot of self-hating Jews claim. "After the horrors our people endured during WWII, where there was an attempt to exterminate all Jews, how can you sit back and support a similar genocide where it's the Jews doing the exterminating?"
It's nonsense propaganda. Israel is not exterminating or committing genocide. They were the ones attacked, where civilians were specifically targeted -- many of whom were women and children. They also had hundreds of hostages taken. When Israel went after those who perpetrated it, the cowards hid among the civilian population as human shields, and knew it was a win-win. Either they'd get away with what they did, or Israel would kill civilians as collateral damage, and this could be exploited for propaganda.
Many of the hostages are still held. Many responsible for the attack are still hiding among civilians, often at schools and hospitals, to where the most hated sort of collateral damage would occur. Hamas has openly stated (long before 10/7/23) that they want all Jews dead, and they want full control of Israel.
This is not a genocide. It is self-defense.
Brownshirt Jews like Adam Friedland are traitors, and are spreading Hamas propaganda.
He has the nerve to bring up "what he was taught" as a kid regarding the holocaust. What we were taught involved knowing when enemies of the Jews directly express the desire to wipe them off the face of the earth, you take swift and decisive action when they try. You don't sit there and make excuses for them, and assume they're just good and misunderstood people who want to live in peace.
Fuck Adam Friedland. He should go live in Gaza himself.
