Let's talk about this picture.... logically [View all]

So it seems this picture is a pretty hot ticket this morning with some folks saying that it's filled with Jewish hate but people are missing something that's right there out in the open staring them in the face.

Let's take a look.





"Stephen A Schwarzman Building".
So just who is Stephen Schwarzman?
He's a right wing billionaire who's donated 10s of millions of dollars to Israel. He's an extremist and the CEO of Blackstone. Oh but it gets even better and I firmly believe this is why this specific building was targeted by pro-Palestinian activists.

Stephen Allen Schwarzman (born February 14, 1947) is an American billionaire businessman. He is the chairman and CEO of the Blackstone Group, a global private equity firm he established in 1985 with Peter G. Peterson. Schwarzman was briefly chairman of President Donald Trump's Strategic and Policy Forum.


Oh oh....Trump? Well well ...

In September 2011, Schwarzman was listed as a member of the international advisory board of the Russian Direct Investment Fund


Oh oh....a Putin connection too?

Schwarzman is a Republican who favors lower taxes, lower government spending, and women's rights.
He raised $100,000 for George W. Bush's political endeavors.In 2020, Schwarzman donated $15 million to the Senate Leadership Fund, a super-PAC tied to Mitch McConnell.

In August 2010, Schwarzman compared the Obama administration's plan to raise the tax rate on carried interest to a war and Hitler's invasion of Poland in 1939, stating, "It's a war. It's like when Hitler invaded Poland in 1939." https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stephen_A._Schwarzman]


This guy's a complete train wreck.
And it's easy to understand why this building was targeted.
