Ben Cohen of Ben & Jerry's goes on Tucker Carlson and says, 'I love Jesus Christ'

16. And a major transphobe (2nd generation)

I don't know why Ben Cohen went on that show. His main hobby horse seems to be eliminating DoD spending as much as possible, especially the immense funds going to assist the Netanyahu government committing genocide. Seems like he was duped by the stated aims of DOGE -- more than that, it's hard to get anything recent, given how X is structured. Sometimes people get obsessed and want to go anywhere that will publicize their message. And as stated elsewhere, the fringes of otherwise progressive segments of society have a tendency to stray into discourse identical to hyper-conservatives -- the "horseshoe" pattern.

But that's a different topic than what I took as the main point of the article (and originally, this thread), posted without any other comment or perspective by the DU member. The article reads like an insinuation that because Ben Cohen wants Israel to stop trying to eliminate Palestinians, and mentioned his love of Jesus (not worship, as he made clear), that Cohen isn't really Jewish. I and some others questioned that dogma, which is clearly false, according to the lived experience and public witness of Jews living in the US.
