Amy Schumer is clapping back at her haters! And it’s… not going well for her.
The comedian has been incredibly outspoken in support of Israel amid its war with Hamas, which began on October 7 when the terrorist group in control of the Gaza Strip invaded the country, killing thousands and kidnapping hundreds of innocent civilians, including some Americans.
In the weeks that have followed, celebrities of all kinds have spoken out. Some have called for an apocalyptic retaliation, some for peace on both sides; all have been attacked for their opinions, and Amy is no exception. After criticizing calls for a cease-fire (wanting, instead, for Hamas to unequivocally surrender), the I Feel Pretty star clarified her stance on Monday, saying that she is a “proud Jewish Woman” who has “lost so many friends these last few weeks,” adding on Instagram:
The 42-year-old also shared a throwback video of Martin Luther King Jr. condemning antisemitism and speaking in support of Israel, which caught the attention of Bernice King. MLK’s daughter actually responded to the clip on X (Twitter) — and she DID NOT like the Trainwreck star’s take on her dad’s stance at all!

She argued:
Not a good look to invoke King to justify your own opinion at all, but especially bad when they say, “you know nothing of my work.”
Amy already apologized earlier this week for posting “something that was hurtful” to the Gaza people, reiterating that she is against Hamas, not Gazans. And this is just a small sample of what she’s been posting lately — she’s been on a roll and things have been getting VERY heated!
By Wednesday, she was forced to clarify — but mostly she tried to clap back! In
