Sarah Silverman is a stand-up comic who makes much, in her routines, of being Jewish. It’s part of, it’s a major part of, it’s far too much a part of, her shtick; what isn’t about being Jewish is about sex. I find her treatment of both topics distinctly unfunny. She is critical of Israel in an offhand, careless sort of way; she repeats what she’s heard elsewhere, without looking into the matter herself. Lots of people she knows “support BDS” (Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions) so, in her ditzy way, she does, too. She does not understand the real intent of that sinister movement. And she knows nothing, it is clear, about the history and travails of modern Israel. A report on her latest podcast vaporings about Israel and BDS is here: “Jewish Comedian Sarah Silverman Explains Why She’s ‘Not Against BDS,’ Accuses Israel of Occupation in New Podcast Episode,” by Shiryn Ghermezian, Algemeiner, January 11, 2021:
Sarah Silverman supports the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions movement as long as it protests Israel’s government and its “occupation,” and not the country’s citizens, she said Thursday.
During the Jan. 7 episode of “The Sarah Silverman Podcast,” the show’s host, 50, told her listeners, “I’m fine with BDS, as long as it’s clear that you are boycotting a government and not a people. When that line gets muddy, that’s when it’s a little scary as a Jew.”
But if the Israelis overwhelmingly support the building of settlements in Judea and Samaria (a.k.a. the West Bank), and they do, believing them to be built on land that belongs to Israel as a matter of international law (see the Palestine Mandate, especially Articles 4 and 6, and the Mandate maps), and recognize that those settlements – a half-million Israelis now live in them – help solidify Israel’s hold on territory that both belongs to it by right and, at least in part, is necessary for the nation’s defense. Those who “boycott the government” are, pace Silverman, also boycotting the majority of Israelis who support the settlement policies of successive governments, including the present one.
Silverman, who lists her Twitter location as the “state of Palestine,” [now that’s not exactly a good sign] then citied the boycott movement against the South African apartheid in the 1980s, saying, “I think divesting from South Africa made a real difference in ending apartheid. I’m not against BDS. I’m against ‘Jews are pro-occupation.’ It’s absurd. Not all Jews are for the occupation.”
In the context of discussing the “boycott” of Israel that Silverman supports, to mention the boycott movement against South African apartheid is to obliquely suggest that Israel itself may practice apartheid. This is flatly untrue. In Israel, Arabs serve in the Knesset, sit on the Supreme Court, go abroad as ambassadors for their country. Jews and Arabs study in the same universities, work in factories and offices together, are treated in, and provide care in, the same hospitals, play on the same sports teams and in the same orchestras. The only difference is that Israeli Arabs may serve in the IDF if they so wish, but unlike Jews, they are not required to do so.
As for BDS, it is not the innocent movement that Silverman imagines it to be. Its co-founder and leader, Omar Barghouti, has openly declared that he works for the dismemberment of the Jewish state, to be replaced by an Arab-run “Palestine.” His words: “We oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine.” Silverman ought to read what critics of BDS have to say about the group. David Schwimmenthal of the American Jewish Congress, for example, has these observations:
The German Bundestag, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, and former British Foreign Secretary Jeremy Hunt are among a growing number of political players to recognize the BDS movement’s bigoted nature.
And yet, not everybody seems to understand that when the world’s only Jewish state is singled out for de-legitimisation and worse, we are dealing with the latest mutation of the world’s perhaps oldest hatred.
Some of the difficulties of recognising BDS for what it really is stem from the fact that the movement has been skillful in obscuring its motivations and intentions behind the misuse of human rights language and the distortion of such lofty concepts as “justice” and “peace.”
But their ultimate goal is far from a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict through a two-state solution. Occasionally, they drop their mask and admit that their real objective is the end of Israel as we know it: “We oppose a Jewish state in any part of Palestine,” BDS co-founder and leader Omar Barghouti freely admits.
BDS claims that it advocates for only non-violent steps, most importantly the “return” of millions of descendants of Palestinian refugees into Israel proper. But let’s not be confused. First, the end result of such a policy would be the same–the dissolution of the world’s only Jewish state. And second, anyone with even a rudimentary understanding of the Middle East knows that if the BDS movement’s dream ever came true, it would quickly turn into a nightmare for the Jewish population. In a majority Palestinian state–which given current societal trends would most likely be under an Islamist leadership such as Hamas–the fate of the Jews would be anything but peaceful. This is a region where minorities are either massacred, oppressed or driven out. Those who therefore claim that Jews could live in security and dignity in a majority Palestinian state are just hiding their cynical intentions behind fanciful language of so-called justice.
The question whether BDS or anti-Zionism is antisemitic is doubly absurd. How could the call for the dismantling of the world’s only Jewish state not be antisemitic? And second, even if one could create some artificial distinction between denying Jewish individual rights (antisemitic) and rejecting their collective rights (supposedly kosher), we are still talking about politicide. BDS ultimately seeks the de-facto dismemberment of a UN Member State. Irrespective of whether that state in question is Jewish or say, Irish, to call for its end cannot possibly be considered a “legitimate political position.”
That should provide a salutary corrective for Sarah Silverman, with her dreamy misinformation about BDS, and make her think again about lending her support to that movement.
She noted that there are “myriad” Jewish-led organizations that “fight the occupation everyday” and said, “I hope for a peaceful end to [the] occupation. Unfortunately, Israel and the Palestinian Authority, and Hamas, also have to want an end to the occupation … It ain’t just Israel that benefits from the occupation in various ways. And that seems to be a well kept secret.”
So there are many Jewish organizations that “fight the occupation every day.” Yes, of course there are: J Street, Jewish Voices for Peace, and so on and so dismally forth. But being “Jewish” does not exempt them from charges of ignorance, illogical, bad faith. There are far more Jewish organizations whose members know the history of modern Israel, recognize the sinister nature of the BDS movement, and reject the impermissible use of that loaded word “occupation” and fight BDS and its willing collaborators, like ditzy Sarah Silverman, every day.
When Silverman uses the word “occupation” she reveals that she has no understanding of modern Israel’s history. Its founding document is the League of Nation’s Mandate for Palestine (1922). In that document, the international community of that time recognized that the Jews, just like the Arabs, deserved to have a state of their own. Lands that were formerly part of the Ottoman Empire were assigned by the League of Nations to different mandates, by which the Mandatory Authority would prepare their peoples for statehood. Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and (somewhat more complicatedly) Jordan, all became, under the guidance of French and British Mandatories, independent states. The Mandate for Palestine was set up for the sole purpose of creating the Jewish National Home, which would then become the Jewish state of Israel. The Mandatory for Palestine, Great Britain, was to “facilitate Jewish immigration” and “encourage…close settlement by Jews on the land.” (Article 6 of the Mandate for Palestine). Which land, Sarah Silverman might ask? Oh, the land that was set aside for the Palestine Mandate. That territory extended from the Golan in the north to the Red Sea in the south, and from the Jordan River in the east to the Mediterranean in the west. That was all supposed to be included in the Jewish National Home. But after the 1948-1949 war, large parts of Judea and Samaria were held by the Jordanians, who continued to hold that land until the Six-Day War in 1967. Jordan was never more than the “military occupier” of the West Bank. When Israel won the territory in 1967, it could at long last exercise its right under international law (the Mandates system was a recognized part of international law) and take lawful possession of the West Bank.There was no Jewish “occupation” of land that had always been assigned to the Jewish National Home.
It would not take more than a few hours for Sarah Silverman to read, and make sense of, a half-dozen of the most devastating critiques of the BDS, its unsavory aims and methods, in attempting – “peacefully” — to snuff out the life of the one Jewish stare. The BDS movement has failed to make a dent in Israel’s economy, which goes from strength to strength, but it has won another victory. It has helped to blacken the image of Israel and of Jews, so grotesquely depicted as persecutors of the Palestinians, and “stealers of their land.” Reading those detailed criticisms of the BDS Movement would constitute Homework Assignment #1 for Sarah Silverman.
Homework Assignment #2 should be equally enlightening for Ms. Silverman. She should study the history of modern Israel, beginning with the First Zionist Congress of 1897. Then she might study the early Zionists who arrived in Ottoman Palestine, where they bought land, often at greatly inflated prices, from absentee landlords in Beirut and Constantinople.. It’s important for Silverman to understand that the Zionist settlers did not seize, but always paid for land, often at very high prices. In 1941, Jews were paying as much for scarcely arable land in Mandatory Palestine as was then being asked for the richest farmland in the world, in Iowa.
Sarah should then study — this above all else — the Mandate for Palestine, especially the Preamble, and Articles 4 and 6 that called for the holder of the Mandate, Great Britain, to “facilitate Jewish immigration” and “encourage close settlement by Jews on the land.” She should also understand that the Arabs acquired four independent nations – Lebanon, Syria, Iraq, and Jordan – through the Mandates system. The Arab people are more richly endowed with states (there are now 22 of them, possessing more than five million square miles of land) than any other people on earth. Meanwhile tiny Israel – scarcely visible on world maps — consists of only 8,500 square miles, or about 1/600 the land area that the Arabs possess. Study, Sarah, that map of Mandatory Palestine, and compare it to a map of the entire Arab world. And while Israel, until just a few years ago, had no natural resources to speak of – now it has discovered undersea natural gas fields – the 22 Arab states have been, and remain, collectively more richly endowed with fossil fuels than any place on earth. The Arab oil states have already received, since 1973 alone, some 30 trillion dollars from the sale of oil and gas, in what must surely be the greatest transfer of wealth in human history. All this constitutes Homework Assignment #2.
Homework Assignment #3 for Sarah Silverman is about refugees. She should find out – she surely does not know – the conditions under which Arabs left Mandatory Palestine, and then Israel, just before and during the 1948 war. Is she aware of how many were urged to leave by Arabs broadcasting from abroad, who assured the Arabs in Palestine that they should leave, get out of the way of the invading Arab armies and when the fighting ended, as it soon would, with an Arab victory, those Arabs who had left could then return to their homes and also seize whatever land and property the massacred or fleeing Jews would have left behind. In this atmosphere, approximately 700,000 Arabs left, only to discover later that the five Arab armies that had attacked the nascent Jewish state had not been victorious.
Silverman should find out about the efforts by some Jews, including Shabtai Levy, the Mayor of Haifa, to convince Arabs in 1948 not to flee. Then she should investigate that too-rarely discussed other group of refugees – the 900,000 Jews who were forced to flee Arab lands in the wake of the 1948 war, leaving behind many billions of dollars in abandoned property. Let Silverman learn when, and why, both the Arabs in Israel, and the “Arab refugees”elsewhere began – after the Six-Day War – to be referred to quite deliberately as the “Palestinian people.” Hint: Sarah, start by googling “Zuheir Mohsen” and “Palestinian people” for more. You’re welcome.
Homework Assignment #4: Sarah Silverman should be asked to do a little research, to see if she can discover why, out of all the hundreds of millions of refugees created around the world since World War II, it is that only one group – the Arabs of Palestine – have been allowed to pass on to their progeny, as an inherited trait , their status as “refugees,” thus making the roll of refugees entitled to UN economic and political support ever-lengthening. We now must endure the spectacle of the great-grandchildren of Arabs who left Palestine in 1948, who are considered to be, and receive generous benefits as, “Palestinian refugees.” There is no end to this.
On Saturday, Silverman shared on Instagram a short clip of her talking about Israel and the BDS movement from the Jan. 7 podcast episode. In the episode she also said “I agree 100 percent that criticizing Israel is not antisemitism” and claimed that “people like their Jews suffering.”
She agrees “100 percent that criticizing Israel is not antisemitism” is idiotic. It depends on the nature of the criticism. Is it rooted in fact, or does it consist of sinister maligning of the Jewish state and, by extension, of Jews. A great deal of criticism of Israel is antisemitic. See the remarks on Israel by Rashida Tlaib, Ilhan Omar, Louis Farrakhan, Jimmy Carter, Mahmoud Abbas, Khaled Meshaal, Ayatollah Khamenei. See what Omar Barghouti, who leads the BDS movement that Sarah Silverman has no quarrel with, has to say about Israel’s right to exist (Hint: it has no such right). Silverman ought to have said something else: “Criticism of Israel is not always antisemitic. But let’s not be deaf and blind – it very often is.”
This is serious, Sarah Silverman. You have, I gather, a large following.They listen to you. They know you are Jewish, and if you support BDS that movement must be okay. If you want to talk about Israel, Sarah, get your facts straight. You know: see above. The Mandate for Palestine. Read it. Study those Mandate maps. Find out when and why Judea and Samaria became the “West Bank.” Find out when the Arabs who left or stayed in “Palestine” in 1948-49 were renamed, nearly 20 years later, “the Palestinian people.” Learn why the “Palestinian refugees” are treated differently from every other group of refugees. Just complete the homework assignments that have been given to you above. They will open your eyes. You have some free time, while sheltering in place.
Sarah, perhaps you’ve heard the remark “Whereof we do not know, thereof we should not speak.” The man who said that wasn’t a stand-up comic but still, it’s a remark worth heeding. Try, Sarah. Please. Try to take it in.
Mike says
HUGH FITZGERALD do you really think she even knows what BDS is all about
I don’t think so
besides I also think she may just be a smoke screen
the left cancer culture would through her under the bus in a heart beat
mortimer says
Agree. Sarah Silverman is generally unconcerned about anti-Semitism, because she lives in America. So, she hasn’t had to think much about it. She has no theory about how to respond to anti-Semitism. I call that ‘shallowness’.
The response to anti-Semitism is very complex, and truly simplistic ideas such as hers are shallow and even counter-productive and don’t defend Jews at all. Quite the opposite!
mortimer says
Sarah Silverman is similar to a lot of people who are shallow about anti-Semitism. They refuse to think the matter through … they espouse a simplistic view.
Sarah Silverman is ok with making life impossible for Jews to live in Israel. She doesn’t live there.
Sarah Silverman live in the US, so she’s isolated from the daily, grinding reality of anti-Semitism faced by Jews who live outside the US. She doesn’t seem to care for Israel at all and wouldn’t cry if Israel was annihilated tomorrow … she doesn’t live there.
Sarah Silverman won’t change her view or study the case in favor of Israel’s nationhood. Her mind is closed. I think Hugh Fitzgerald knows that.
Sarah Silverma won’t read his words, and she will likely not bother to read anything similar. Thinking independently would put her out of sync with the Globalist mob.
Sarah Silverman is a Globalist/Leftist. Presumably, there won’t be Jews or any other nationalities in the future Globalist Utopia. Then her Jewish-style comedy will become obsolete.
Sarah Silverman’s comedy is a toast to the extinction of the identity that inspires her wit.
roberta says
She loves vulgar, her (very few fans) love vulgar. It is just part of being democrat, leftist, or whatever they are.
Being decent can take some work. Vulgar is easy, anybody can do it.
katherine says
A specialist in BDS – nah, more likely she meant BDSM from the way her jokes go.
Hoosierdaddy says
She’s just another useful idiot, aving the way for The New World Disorder. When (not if) The Islamist gain dominance, she and her fellow progressives will be the first to be beheaded.
Michael Copeland says
That homework list would be useful to a great many others, particularly politicians. Most, though, are too busy to do all the reading. A short potted guide would be good.
Does anyone care to compose one?
Don McKellar says
She uses her background and heritage when its useful for her career, just like her sexuality. Otherwise it is just baggage as far as she’s concerned. If somebody has a background and heritage they don’t care about and they put it behind them, that’s just fine. But exploiting it like what she is doing, and then trashing those who still embrace it by peddling this hateful, likely wilful ignorance, is pretty rotten.
Oren says
Israel occupying palestinian lands is completely fake news. The land was taken in A defensive war, where jordan and egypt invaded legal Israeli land, and the palestinian muslim people had not been invented yet by the western leftist media.
The american media and tech companies enable violence and terrorism against the Jews of Israel by permitting the false and fake version of history about the Jewish people of Israel. In G-d I trust.
RichardL says
Amen
mortimer says
Reply to Oren: The INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY of NATIONS granted the land to the future Jewish state. The ‘League of Nations’ agreed that the ‘Mandate for Palestine’ would conclude in the creation of Jewish Homeland.
Israel is a legitimate state authorized by most of the world’s nations. Many Arab leaders in that time were also in favor of Israel.
RichardL says
as Daniel Greenfield just pointed out, Biden has made a BDS terrorist Senior Director of Intelligence at the NSA. They will come JW and everyone posting here with a vengeance. Biden’s handlers (they have his son’s moral and his real corruption hanging over him) think they can destroy America
Wellington says
Useful idiot, made all the worse precisely because she is Jewish.
Larger picture: All part of the rot which is Leftism. Just as faithfully believing in Islam’s many heinous and stupid positions (examples being death for apostasy and the puerile conception of the afterlife) is evidence of mental illness, so is it the case with Leftism which is replete with moronic self-hatred and a whole host of stupid ideas (e.g., there are not two genders but 19—-or 37—or 52—or 100).
For mankind to operate optimally, highly fallacious ideologies such as Marxism, Nazism, Islam and Leftism must be seen for the pernicious nonsense which they surely are. Not there yet. Not even close to being there yet. Damn.

gravenimage says
Sarah Silverman is an idiot–but your idea that all Jews make bad moral decisions is grotesque. And blaming Jews for their own victimization is really sick.

Hey nordic be-ach…maybe you should take a VERY close look at yourself and re-think about how morally corrupt you are.

Sarah Silverman, Dozy Bint
……………..
Does she realize that BDS calls for the utter destruction of Israel? Probably not–but she’s not likely to find out, either…
Westman says
Yes. A problem with Leftists like Silverman is cowardliness. Those who speak most loudly against their culture and nation are the same who would not risk their lives to preserve them.
Can anyone envision Silverman in an IDF uniform, fighting for Israel’s survival? Or, in a US uniform, fighting against Islamic terrorists?
That is how leftists destroy nations – demanding rights, privileges, and power while being completely unwilling to defend them with their own lives. They would rather pay tax money to a professional military than serve at any risk to themselves. In no way are money and lives equal or equivalent. Most of today’s “comedians” are simply greasing the downhill skids that were provided by America’s retrograde academics – poisoning the youth with oikophobia.
James Lincoln says
Westman,
Correct on all points.
Just wondering what would happen if the vast majority of military age US citizens reached the point where they believed that their country’s culture and laws WERE NOT even worth defending…

HISTORY OF ISRAEL-WATER
Read what Churchill says about “irrigation and electrification of Palestine” and read the article about “WATER”.
Winston Churchill on Palestine
‘The scattered Jews should have a national centre, and where else but in Palestine?’
In March 1921, twenty six years before the The United Nations General Assembly voted to partition Palestine, Mr. Winston Churchill visited Palestine and met a delegation of Muslim leaders. They protested that the ultimate objective of political Zionism was to give the natural resources of Palestine to the Jews. They pointed out that the Arabs had occupied Palestine for over a thousand years. They asked Churchill to use his influence to correct what they considered a great injustice.
‘You ask me to repudiate the Balfour Declaration and to stop (Jewish) immigration. This is not in my power … and it is not my wish … It is manifestly right that the scattered Jews should have a national centre, and a national home to be re-united, and where else but in Palestine, with which for three thousand years they have been intimately and profoundly associated?
We think it will be good for the world, good for the Jews, good for the British Empire, but also good for the Arabs who dwell in Palestine…they shall share in the benefits and progress of Zionism.
I am told the Arabs would have done it for themselves. Who is going to believe that? Left to themselves, the Arabs of Palestine would not in a thousand years have taken effective steps toward the irrigation and electrification of Palestine. They would have been quite content to dwell–a handful of philosophic people– in the sun-scorched plains, letting the waters of the Jordan continue to flow unbridled and unharnessed into the Dead Sea.’
He said a lot more. I’m also reading a chapter from”Eleanor: The Years Alone”: by Joseph P. Lash: “The United Nations and a Jewish Homeland”. Like Churchill, in her early years, Eleanor bought into some of the Jewish stereotypes but started changing her tune once she saw the realities on the ground. Same with her husband. (Though he was never the advocate for Israel like she was.) Especially when it came to the rabid Jew haters like Ibn Saud. When President Roosevelt met with him to discuss a homeland for the Jews he mentioned what the Jewish settlers had done for Palestine through irrigation and the planting of trees, Ibn Saud’s answer was, “My people don’t like trees; they are desert dwellers. And we have water enough without irrigation!” Every time he mentioned the Jews Ibn Saud “would shrink and give me some answer as this–‘I am too old to understand new ideas’ ”. In other words he would never give up his hatred of the Jews. Eleanor Roosevelt also said on this point, “The Arabs may not like the idea of having the Jews in the Negev for instance, but I imagine the Jews are the only people who would be energetic enough to develop it.” This was shortly before Israel was voted a member of the United Nations and after all the Arab countries attempted to exterminate the Jews after “the Arab boast that they would erase the new state in ten days, accompanied by an Arab exodus from the cities in order to facilitate the task of driving the Jews into the sea. But the Arab armies were soon in retreat”.

Mark Twain wrote:
On Jews:
If the statistics are right, the Jews constitute but one per cent of the human race. It suggests a nebulous dim puff of star dust lost in the blaze of the Milky Way. Properly the Jew ought hardly to be heard of; but he is heard of. He is as prominent on the planet as any other people, and his commercial importance is extravagantly out of proportion to the smallness of his bulk. His contributions to the world’s list of great names in literature, science, art, music, finance, medicine . . . are also way out of proportion to the weakness of his numbers. He has made a marvelous fight in this world, in all the ages; and has done it with his hands tied behind him. He could be vain of himself, and be excused for it. The Egyptian, the Babylonian and the Persian rose, filled the planet with sound and splendour, then faded to dream-stuff and passed away; the Greek and the Roman followed, and made a vast noise, and they are gone; other peoples have sprung up and held their torch high for a time, but it burned out, and they sit in twilight now, or have vanished. The Jew saw them all beat them all, and is now what he always was, exhibiting no decadence, no infirmities of age, no weakening of parts, no slowing of his energies, no dulling of his alert and aggressive mind. All things are mortal but the Jew; all other forces pass, but he remains. What is the secret of his immortality?
– September 1897 (Quoted in The National Jewish Post & Observer, June 6, 1984)
On Palestine:
“ …[a] desolate country whose soil is rich enough, but is given over wholly to weeds-a silent mournful expanse….A desolation is here that not even imagination can grace with the pomp of life and action….We never saw a human being on the whole route….There was hardly a tree or a shrub anywhere. Even the olive and the cactus, those fast friends of the worthless soil, had almost deserted the country.”

Sarah Silverman will say and do whatever she has to for work. She has minimal talent and must kiss up to whatever the left serves as the “ism-de jour.” She is a sad example of someone that has sold out so many times she doesn’t know what she believes.
OLD GUY says
Don’t know her, haven’t seen her, won’t see her and don’t care. As a comic her words should not mean much other than a laugh. Unfortunately her words can plant seeds of ideas and opinions in members of the audience. The more people hear those seeds the deeper they are planted. Freedom of speech is sometimes hard to live with, but I support her right to make jokes or comments on anything she wants to. In her case the market will either support her as a comedian or not.
jirtu says
“Dozy” is a perfect descriptive for Silverman but “bint” is wrong. The word means “girl” in Arabic but was used by the British military in the last century to describe Egyptian women as stupid, ignorant, uneducated, and immoral. In British mouths, it became a racist word.
