Pro-Israel but anti Israel's right wing government
Q: You have been criticized, mostly on Twitter, for being anti-Semitic. I know you've defended yourself by claiming your Jewish heritage, but do you not believe it's possible to discriminate your own culture?
Do you believe you're comments are excusable because of your background as a comedian?A: For one Jew to call another Jew anti-Semitic is a tired, insulting, overused propagandist device, a generally groundless way to discredit
ANYONE who dares to question the warlike policies of Israel's Right Wing Government, but mostly to discredit the wonderful Israeli socialists who built Israel. I stand with millions of Jews, worldwide, who also do not wish to march in lockstep with the
Netanyahu regime. Where there are two Jews, there are THREE opinions. I'm pretty traditional in that sense, don't you think?

Self-determination and right of return for Palestinians
Peace will begin in Israel and Palestine with people speaking to each other, intelligently, about solutions. Self-determination and the right of return is needed for Palestinians who have had their land stolen from them.
The US government must reject war support for Israel, the Wall must come down and people must begin their own discussions in order to work out their differences.
