Sarah Silverman fights antisemitism and antisemitic violence by reminding people that not all Jews are the evil Zionist kind

When actress-comedienne Sarah Silverman learned about the apparent attack on a group of Jews dining outside in Los Angeles, she wanted to make one thing abundantly clear: antisemitism is always wrong, full stop.

We kid, of course. This is how she reacted:

Shorter Sarah Silverman: It’s wrong to beat up Jews because not all of them are the icky Zionist kind.

But if you are proudly Zionist, or heaven forbid, wave an Israeli flag, it’s ok to get beaten up waiting in line for salmon sushi roll?

And doing so to Israeli or Pro-Israeli Jews is fine? 😳

Guess so!

Sarah, you have used your voice to shine a light on issues affecting Jews, but you are also complicit in normalising the antisemitsm that has led to this. When you use your platform to say things like you don't have a problem with BDS, you allow this to happen.

as a Jew in the diaspora who loves Israel (and criticizes its mistakes, like with any other country), I do consider myself part of am israel and don't think we should try to minimize our connection because of bigots

This is a bold strategy, Sarah. And it’s always worked out so well.

Translation: "I'm a GOOD Jew! Don't hit ME, hit those bad Zionists over there!"

And you are not a Jew, the real Jews don't need your Jew-haters “allies” keep crying to the Jew Haters in your beloved left, “I am sure” they will come to your help. @JoeSilverman7 @LouisvilleGun @dflenick @DreyfusShawn https://t.co/AeYIaggXhC

Sarah Silverman seems to believe that if she disavows Israel hard enough, she’ll be left alone.
