Progressive comedian Sarah Silverman defended U.S. funding for Israel’s Iron Dome defense system and questioned why prominent Israel critics in the Democratic “Squad” never mention that the Palestinians are led by Hamas, a terrorist organization that hates and wants to kill Jews.
On a the latest episode of ” The Sarah Silverman Podcast, ” the comedian commented on the recent controversy in Congress over U.S. funding for the Iron Dome missile defense system in Israel. Progressive Democrats in the House of Representatives objected to nearly $1 billion in funding for the Iron Dome as part of a larger continuing resolution to fund the government and avert a shutdown. Democrats were forced to strip the Iron Dome funding from the continuing resolution and pass it as a standalone bill . Silverman questioned why lawmakers like Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez (D-N.Y.), who wanted to defund the Iron Dome, fail to mention that Israel’s defense system protects residents of the tiny country from rocket attacks fired by Hamas militants from the Gaza strip.
“None of them talk about Hamas. No one in the squad is bringing up Hamas, it’s so bizarre,” said Silverman. “Yes, the occupation is not right. There cannot be justice in a place where there are people who have no freedom of movement. But they elected Hamas!”
She continued: “Why do none of them even mention Hamas — a group that until just a few years ago had a mission statement that said ‘kill all Jews.’ A group that just congratulated the Taliban for taking over Afghanistan. No, Israel is not good for Palestine, but you are kidding yourself if you think Hamas is good for Palestine.”
Warning: Explicit Language
Silverman lamented that the situation is “not simple” before addressing the Squad directly.
“Please do not defund the Iron Dome. I know that it’s not — but just, just talking to the Squad here, you know, my family lives there,” she said, becoming emotional.

“It just seems to prove the point that I didn’t think existed, which is, people really only like Jews if they’re suffering. Dead Jews get a lot of honor.”

They’re Trying to Shut Us Down
Over the last several months, I’ve lost count of how many times the powers-that-be have tried to shut us down. They’ve sent hackers at us, forcing us to take extreme measures on web security. They sent attorneys after us, but thankfully we’re not easily intimidated by baseless accusations or threats. They’ve even gone so far as to make physical threats. Those can actually be a bit worrisome but Remington has me covered.
For us to continue to deliver the truth that Americans need to read and hear, we ask you, our amazing audience, for financial assistance. We have a Giving Fuel page to help us pay the bills. It’s brand new so don’t be discouraged by the lack of donations there. It’s a funny reality that the fewer the donations that have been made, the less likely people are willing to donate to it. One would think this is counterintuitive, but sometimes people are skeptical because they think that perhaps there’s a reason others haven’t been donating. In our situation, we’re just getting started so please don’t be shy if you have the means to help.
Thank you and God bless!
