Yes, some jokes are silly and that's why they're funny. Although jokes can be harmful, I don't think that this one was.

Are jokes productive for discussion or discourse? Not necessarily, but I'm not so precious that I'm going to downvote someone for making one.

I mean what's more likely here, a guy made a joke and a load of sensitive Lemmings downvoted them or a guy was literally comparing people that support Palestine with bigots?

I endorse the use of /s so that we can avoid this type of debate, but whenever you mention it you get a load of complaints.
