Amy Schumer accuses BLM and LGBTQ of abandoning Jews, and her fellow leftists LOSE IT

October 17, 2023 | | Print Article

Comedian and actress Amy Schumer became the target of the left’s anger after she dared to call out Black Lives Matter and LGBTQ activists for abandoning Jews.

The 42-year-old outspoken leftist found herself on the receiving end of backlash from the woke mob when she shared a meme in the wake of the Hamas terrorist attacks on Israel, seeming to call attention to the hypocrisy of those who boldly advocate for causes but are silent in the face of antisemitism.

“First they came for LGBTQ and I stood up, because Love is Love. Then they came for immigrants and I stood up, because families belong together. Then they came for the black community and I stood up because Black Lives Matter,” read the meme Schumer shared on Instagram

“Then they came for me, but I stood alone, because I am a Jew,” the graphic read.

Leftists came unglued and a screenshot of Schumer’s Instagram was recirculated on X, formerly Twitter, where it was viewed and shared repeatedly. One tweet shockingly boasts more than 27 million views.

Schumer joined hundreds of entertainment industry figures to sign an open letter last week condemning the Hamas attacks and voicing their support for Israel. The letter by the nonprofit organization Creative Community For Peace called for leaders to “speak out forcefully against Hamas and do whatever is in their power to urge the terrorist organization to return the innocent hostages to their families.”

“This is terrorism. This is evil. There is no justification or rationalization for Hamas’ actions,” added the letter, which was signed by Schumer – who is a second cousin of U.S. Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer – as well as Gal Gadot, Mayim Bialik and Jerry Seinfeld, among others.

Schumer, who has been an outspoken critic of former President Donald Trump as well as openly endorsing many leftist causes, was hammered on social media after her pro-Israel stance.

“This unhealthy hater who is only famous because of her family, and isn’t a damn bit funny, hasn’t stood up for any of those people and pushed for mandates and is worse than the 1930s Germany guy with a mustache,” tweeted journalist Erin Elizabeth. “I hope she disappears from the earth shortly. Permanently.”

Others joined the pile-up on Schumer:

But amid the backlash from the woke left, there were a handful on social media who spoke of their agreement with Schumer.
