    “Abolish billionaires” doesn’t mean “kill anyone you want as long as you catch a couple of billionaires in the explosion.” In fact, it doesn’t mean “kill billionaires”. It means tax them until they’re not billionaires.

    This is gross.

      Even “eat the rich” simply means “tax them until they pay their fair share” instead of cannibalism.

      Torres is a Zionist, he doesn’t actually believe what he’s saying here, he’s trying to use a smug “gotcha” against the left.

    Glad to hear Israel is helping rid us of toxic billionaires. Now do Bill Ackman, Daniel Lubetzky, Daniel Loeb, Joseph Sitt, Len Blavatnik, Elon Musk

    I’m trying to verify these numbers and I’m not finding much.

    The closest I can find to a source is that these were claims from Moshe Elad in articles in Tablet Magazine and Algemeier.

    In Mashal’s case, he was the treasurer of Hamas at the time and Elad seems to be just attributing the entirety of the organization’s assets to him personally.

    I’d be really interested to see if anyone else can find more concrete proof of this claim than I could.
