Comedian Larry David drew criticism from democratic socialists after writing a satirical essay mocking the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), its anti-Israel positions and political correctness, while a California political activist mocked those who took offense at the "Curb Your Enthusiasm" creator's humor.David's October 17 essay in Air Mail, titled "The View from Here," imagined the longtime Hollywood liberal joining the DSA and successfully proposing 12 increasingly over-the-top additions to the socialist organization's manifesto.His targets included immigration, policing, reparations, religious identity and restrictions on offensive comedy.Among the most provocative proposals was David's imagined solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, which involved transferring all of Israel's territory to Palestinians and relocating Israelis to a remote Pacific island.Larry David proposed relocating Israelis to a remote Pacific island and renaming Jewish Americans the "Bagel People" in his satirical essay targeting the socialist organization.
