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. “It’s gotten to this place,” Schumer added, “where you can’t speak up for other Jews without people feeling like it’s a slight to the conditions in Gaza.” Since the events of Oct. 7, Schumer has used her official Instagram page to campaign on behalf of Israel’s operation and call for the release of hostages held in Gaza. She is also among more than 700 Hollywood figures, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Gal Gadot and Jerry Seinfeld, who have signed an open letter from the Creative Community for Peace in support of Israel.
