Comedian Amy Schumer said she believes that Jewish people get far more scrutiny than Hamas and its supporters in the public discourse these days.
Comedian Amy Schumer said in a new interview that Hamas has escaped the intense scrutiny Jewish people have gotten in the wake of Israel's war in Gaza. The actress and self-proclaimed 'proud Jewish woman' told Hollywood outlet Variety that she believes Jewish people get way more heat in the 'public discourse' than the terror group in Gaza does. She also claimed that simply standing up for Israel is taken as a 'slight' to Palestinians by many in society.
So I’d recommend people read a book — ‘Israel: A Simple Guide to the Most Misunderstood Country on Earth’ by Noa Tishby. Or anything — Jewish people wrote everything down.' Schumer, who is starring in Jerry Seinfeld’s upcoming Netflix comedy 'Unfrosted,' told the outlet she believes that even speaking up for Israel’s interests is offensive to pro-Palestinians.
