DUBAI: US comedian-actress Amy Schumer has clarified her stance on Israel’s ongoing war against Gaza after receiving backlash for her social media posts about the conflict.
Speaking to Variety, Schumer said that while she supports the Jewish people, she does not agree with Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“I don’t agree with anything that Netanyahu is doing, and neither do the Israelis I know,” she said. “Of course, what’s going on in Gaza is sickening, horrifying and unthinkable. And I don’t think it’s OK to hate anyone because they were born Jewish.
