"Palestinians Deserve to be Dead" Joan Rivers Says in Aggressive Gaza Rant Caught on Camera
Controversial 'American comedian' Joan Rivers has caused outrage after she was recorded saying Palestinians who have lost their lives in the Gaza conflict "deserve to be dead".
Speaking to a TMZ journalist on camera, the 81-year-old said: "You started it. You’re dead, you deserve to be dead."
The Gaza conflict has cost the lives of 1,886 Palestinians – including more than 400 children – and displaced over 520,000 Palestinians, according to the latest UN figures.
When told of the rising death toll among the Palestinian population, Rivers said "good", adding: "Who cares?
"They were told to get out. They didn’t get out. You don’t get out, you are an idiot.
"At least the ones that were killed were the ones with low IQs." Watch video below:
In the wake of a huge backlash, Rivers quickly back-tracked, attempting to explain the comments by saying they were "totally taken out of context".
"What I said and stand behind is, war is hell and unfortunately civilians are victims of political conflicts," said the outspoken celebrity, who frequently makes light of her Jewish background and heritage in her shows and on-stage material.
"We, the United States, certainly know this as 69 years later we still feel the guilt of Hiroshima and Nagasaki… Along with every other sane person in this world, I am praying for peace."
In 2013, Rivers came under heavy criticism for repeatedly mocking Adele’s weight and refusing to apologise.
A year later, Rivers said the victims of the Ariel Castro kidnapping – who were beaten, starved and repeatedly raped over a two-year period – "shouldn’t complain… one of them has a book deal"

Wtf does Hiroshima have to do with Palestine?
ReplyDeleteDifferent time, totally different scenario and players involved. Deflecting and avoiding the question. They started it huh? What world does she live in, because it certainly isn't this one.
Typical Jew, you think this woman is unique? this is how most Jews think inside, they just keep quiet and polite usually. If someone said these vile comments about Jews their career would be over she would be sacked and banned from every TV station in USA, look what happened to that Duck Dynasty guy, but she is a Jew and a Woman so she can get away with any amount of racist bigotry and genocidal language that she likes, and they said if women ruled the world their would be no wars, HAHA
