Jon Lovitz Criticizes Bernie Sanders and the Squad for Their Stance on Israel

Comedic actor and Israel supporter Jon Lovitz criticized Sen. Bernie Sanders and members of the Democratic "Squad" for their opposition to Israel, calling Sanders a "self-loathing Jew" and accusing the Squad of being "horribly antisemitic." Lovitz mocked Sanders for his wealth and described the Squad's promotion of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement as wanting to give money to Hamas instead. He also criticized Rep. Rashida Tlaib for spreading false information about Israel bombing a Gaza hospital and Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez for her climate change stance. Lovitz argued that the divide among liberals on the Israel-Hamas conflict stems from jealousy, fear, and misinformation. He defended Israel's actions and called for the removal of Hamas to establish a democratic government in Gaza.
