Jewish comedian Sarah Silverman once again came under fire for her views on Israel after posting controversial comments on social media that belittled the boycott, divestment and sanctions (BDS) movement.
Silverman shared her views on the anti-Israel movement through a podcast segment on her Instagram account, which has a following of some 2 million people.
In the controversial segment, she said: "I agree, a hundred percent that criticizing Israel is not anti-Semitism. We criticize the US all the time, I don't hate the US. I love it. It is not anti-Semitism to criticize a government I'm fine with BDS as long as it's clear that you are boycotting a government and not a people.
"When that gets muddy that's when it's scary, a little scary as a Jew. Listen, people like their Jews suffering. When Jews aren't suffering, when God forbid they're thriving, people don't like that. It's why we are so conditioned to complain."
.The post, which included a subtitled video of her podcast, got hundreds of thousands of views
