See what the Rabbi did there with the wordplay!? Bill Clinton was a fan, that’s for sure.

I think we can all agree peace in the Middle East would be pretty chill, and as the Rabbi indicated, more needs to be done in Israel and the Gaza Strip to achieve that. Also, can’t forget the REAL reason everyone is here today, and that’s the Champ.
RIP Muhammad Ali, you were the fucking Greatest.
