    Only an anti-Semite would call a Jew born in 1933 “evil” because he uses his self-made fortune to advocate for Israeli security against enemies that call for that state’s destruction (and deny its legitimacy even to have existed in the first place) all while openly developing nuclear weapons.

      Nah, I’m a Jew and the grandson of Holocaust survivors and I have lived in Israel - including time in the West Bank and Gaza - before I saw the light. Adelson is evil. And this article doesn’t even go far enough. Adelson didn’t just start a newspaper to get his viewpoint out, he made it a free paper and in the process destroyed the rest of the media industry in Israel. Fuck him and fuck you for overusing the “anti-semite” label, in particular against a dude named Moskowitz. Fucking moron.

      Yes! I keep hearing the music of that Most Evil true-crime tv show that used to come on Investigate/Discover or whatever it’s called: A Scale exists for determining who is the most evil . . .

      He was actually born on Erie St which is squarely in Mattapan near Franklin Park. Not sure why the biographical details for him always say Dorchester. Most of Blue Hill avenue was a heavily Jewish neighborhood until the post red lining white flight started.

      Erie St is right on the edge of Dot, no?
      Just up from Geneva Ave?

      Maybe the line was different back in whenever. Or his part of Erie St got bulldozed to put in the train.

    In case the article isn’t sufficiently clear, this guy is probably the single biggest cause on earth for the ridiculousness of American policy in the Middle East. Not just the entirety of the Republicans but half the Democrats feel they have no choice but to buy into the “we must unblinkingly support literally every single thing Israel does no matter what” mandate because his money and political activism has warped the issue and our politics around it. As long as we have that as our primary goal in the region, and it appears we do and are going to continue to, we will inevitably and inexorably get drawn into every single conflict in the region, none of which we can do anything to actually solve.

      Naw, Cheney/Bush sr. are worse. You can disagree with American policy towards Israel, but it’s nowhere near the clusterfuck that was the Iraq/Afghan war.

      That’s what I’m saying though. We wouldn’t have had the drumbeat and march towards war we had in 2003 if we didn’t have our entire worldview and outlook towards the region warped well beyond reason by decades of “Israel is the bulwark in a clash of civilizations (between Muslims and non-Muslims)” rhetoric. Who do you think has been bankrolling the organizations that push this stuff? Cheney may have been a particularly heartless and evil bastard, but he didn’t turn the party into neoconservatives. Nowadays Republican presidential candidates pretty much make up their foreign policy to whatever they think will make Adelson the happiest so he’ll give them money.

    As a former direct employee to this guy I can attest to his high level of evilness. He is human scum.

    first for his inhumane political views and agenda.

    his own ‘security’ team SUED him (google it). The SAME guy your security for is the same guy your own team SUED.

    all vendors know how your boss works. he doesnt pay his bills and makes vendors take him to court to have him pay his bills.

    EPT (executive protection team). You guys/gals are asshats and you know already know it. take your $85k salary and shut your mouth.

      Adelson is also Exhibit A when it comes to “crony capitalism.” He has said he will do “whatever it takes” to eliminate online gambling, including poker, in the U.S. He claims it’s because he wants to protect children and all that, but it’s so obviously because he thinks online gambling is a threat to his B&M gaming empire.

      For a long time, the Wire Act was interpreted by the Department of Justice to make all online gambling illegal, when it was specifically written to outlaw sports betting over communications wires. No other forms of gambling were mentioned or even implied. In late 2011, the DoJ clarified its stance on the Wire Act, saying it did only apply to sports betting and that other forms of internet gambling were ok. That spurred on individual states, including Nevada, New Jersey, and Delaware, to legalize and regulate online gambling within their borders.

      Adelson hated this turn of events, so he and his lackeys penned a new bill called the Restoration of America’s Wire Act (RAWA), which aims to reverse the latest ruling, setting the interpretation of the Wire Act to the previous, completely incorrect one. It would make all online gambling illegal in the U.S. and would shut down the online gambling industries in the three states that have legalized it. It would be a huge slap in the face to states’ rights.

      I mean, for fuck’s sake, RAWA would actually turn a blatantly WRONG interpretation of a law into a new law.

      Adelson has gotten this bill introduced in both the Senate (via Lindsey Graham) and the House (via Jason Chaffetz) because he can. Those and other Republican politicians want so badly to reach into Adelson’s pocket that they’ll do whatever he wants. Why do we think Marco Rubio is in favor of RAWA?

      It’s a bullshit bill, one which doesn’t have much support from either side of the aisle, but it is still alive because Adelson has the money to make it so.
