Amy Schumer Accused of Harassment by Asia Jackson Over Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Views

Schumer's controversial posts supporting Israel amidst conflict with Gaza prompts backlash, with Asia Jackson claiming harassment after the comedian sent her disparaging and accusatory direct messages.

Amy Schumer has faced significant backlash due to her controversial social media posts regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with her posts rationalizing Israel’s actions and dehumanizing Gazans, according to criticism.
Schumer's controversial stance on the conflict led to a heated private social media exchange with actress Asia Jackson, who accused Schumer of harassment and reinforcing harmful stereotypes about Gazan people.
Schumer, after being criticized by Jackson, attacked her in private messages, labeling her antisemitic and claiming she was uneducated about the history of Jewish people.
Schumer's posts were contrasted with the careful approach taken by models and Palestinian descendants, Gigi and Bella Hadid, highlighting the stark difference in perceived acceptability of their statements and the backlash they faced versus Schumer's ongoing career.
Schumer’s final social media post in response to the criticism acknowledged the 'lot of pain' everyone is in presently, but controversially ended with, 'You hate Jews. You don’t know why. I still love you.'
