I had never heard about his support for Israel so just did some reading and only found a few things from Oct 2023 after the Hamas attack. Although I think it’s evil to support an apartheid state, I think there’s a big difference between voicing support in October 2023 and supporting them now and in their genocide. I wonder what he thinks now
He had a segment where he posed as an IDF soldier and got Congress members to support and even promote ‘kinderguardians,’ real guns for toddlers to promote ‘fighting terrorism’
I’ll be honest. After the initial Hamas attack I also thought Israeli response was acceptable. I didn’t know much of anything beyond Zionist propaganda. I learned the truth and now I can say with absolute certainty and conviction that Israel is an aggressor in more than just the Palestinian conflict(which is a genocide). It’s hard to know you’re in a propaganda bubble when the edge is on the other side of the world. But now that I know it’s there, it’s absolutely influencing my decisions in elections. I voted against an AIPAC candidate in the Democratic primary entirely because of their campaign funding sources.

Yea, from what I’ve seen from his work, he is very critical on a lot of sensitive topics and doesn’t pull punches when it comes to his Jewish side.
But to be fair, he makes fun of Judaism, can’t recall many Israel jokes.

But that’s the closest I can think of
Maybe this scene from Bruno?

Voicing support for them related to Oct 2023 still points to some significant ignorance of the pre-existing war.
I agree
