Comedians Sarah Silverman and Amy Schumer are finding themselves at the center of a social media storm after posting pro-Israel messages on their Instagrams.
The two funnywomen, known for their sharp wit and unapologetic humor, took a more serious tone as they shared their support for Israel amid the ongoing conflict in the Middle East.
While Silverman’s post emphasized the need for peace and empathy on all sides, Schumer’s message leaned towards a more direct show of support for the Jewish state. Both posts, however, ignited a heated debate among their followers, with some praising their stance, while others criticized them for not taking a stronger position against Israel’s actions.
The controversial posts have added fuel to an already contentious global discussion, with celebrities using their platforms to weigh in on complex political issues. As the situation continues to evolve, it’s clear that these entertainers are unafraid to use their voices, even if it means facing backlash from their fans.

On her Instagram story, Silverman posted a post from the user @elianaeatz. According to the article, many people believe that Israel’s decision to shut off Gaza’s access to water and power is cruel. Israel’s response was rather straightforward: “Release the hostages, and we’ll turn it back on.” Politicians (cough cough AOC) accuse Israel of being heartless, rather than begging with Hamas to free CIVILIAN captives, including BABIES and TODDLERS.
