Who Actually Wrote the Celebrity Letter

Tim speculates about which NGO or UN subcommittee actually drafted the celebrity ceasefire letter, and jokes that his own motive for wanting the war to stop is so he can start a Christian Crusade.
- Tim on Thomas Friedman: he says dumb things most of the time, but he's right that occupying Gaza is a mistake like Iraq and Afghanistan.
- After 9/11 we destabilized a lot of countries, and repeating that error in Gaza would be a big mistake.
- Who actually wrote that letter all the celebrities signed to Biden about the conflict?
- It's probably UNICEF or some UN subcommittee behind the famous names on the statement.
- Celebrities have become anti-influencers—their support for causes now triggers an opposite reaction because it reads as disingenuous and self-serving.
- The letter is just four paragraphs saying we want it to stop, we're famous, nothing more—no actual policy substance.
- Tim contrasts his position: he wants de-escalation, not bloodshed or a Christian crusade against anyone.
- He's arguing from the opposite direction—for nukes and killing, which is satire on the emptiness of celebrity activism.
