" In 2025, politically incorrect #comedy is not the kind of speech that’s being suppressed; no comedian is in danger of going to jail—or even taken off Netflix—for racist or homophobic material. Suggesting that Charlie Kirk’s killer voted for Trump? That’s another story."

"The Riyadh Court Jester Parade won’t mean much to the careers of most of these comics. No one’s going to lose a Hollywood deal for [a] movie or a show, and with Saudi money in Hollywood, some might come home to new deals. All they lost is any credibility on lecturing anyone else on right and wrong ever again."

"A lot of ppl were saying that Israel had no right to participate in the Eurovision contest because they're not European. That was wrong. If you said Israel has no right to participate in the Eurovision contest, shame on you, because Israel itself was a Euro vision. (That joke dates back to 1881...)" - Palestinian-American writer/comic #SammyObeid
