"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.

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.

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

For real? I always took it more literally?

Ew, no. Billionaires are obviously the least tasty of humans.

They have plenty of time and money, so they can afford to work out. They'll be super tough.

The worst part is that their assets are going to simply be bestowed on whoever whatever entity it was willed, and the accumulation itself is the problem, so even the actual supposed benefit is zero. Killing billionaires only makes the actual disparity more inefficient, you have to break up that wealth in a real way for it to be good at all.

Depends on who is saying it, a Liberal or a Socialist.

It's always projection.

Same energy as "Castro's net worth is the GDP of Cuba."

I’m not cheering for Israel on fucking anything. Ever.

What in the blue applesauce fuck is this guy trying to say? That's some Newsmax worthy logic right there. Fuck that guy.

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.

Yeah this seemed like obvious made up rage bait to me. Typical FOX

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

Any billionaire died on 9/11?
