Former Saturday Night Live<\/em> cast member Jon Lovitz took aim at Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-VT) and far-left Squad members over their position on the ongoing war between Israel and the Palestinian terror organization Hamas.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In an interview with Fox News<\/a>, Lovitz assailed Sanders as \u201cself-loathing Jew,\u201d and poked fun the Vermont lawmaker\u2019s self-labeling himself a \u201cDemocratic Socialist\u201d instead of a \u201ccommunist.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s like asking me, \u2018Are you Christian?\u2019 \u2018No, no, I\u2019m a Jew for Jesus.\u2019 Well, that\u2019s what it is,\u201d Lovitz said. \u201cYou know the difference between a communist and a Democratic Socialist? A Democratic Socialist is somebody you vote for, and then they take all your money and give back what they think you need. A communist \u2014 they just appoint themselves. There\u2019s no election and they do the exact same thing. That\u2019s the only difference.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd [Sanders is] saying, you know, we shouldn\u2019t have money for, you know, fund Israel, you know, and the Squad, those people\u2026 It\u2019s no secret they\u2019re horribly antisemitic,\u201d the actor and comedian added.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lovitz then criticized how segments of the Democrat Party have shifted away from its pro-Israel position and embraced radical causes such as the anti-Israel Boycott, Divest and Sanction (BDS) movement.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey go, \u2018Let\u2019s give all that money away from Israel, give it to Hamas.\u2019 That\u2019s what they would say. That\u2019s what they want,\u201d Lovitz lamented. \u201cWhat\u2019s that, Ilhan Omar? She wants to [not] give money to Israel for military aid. They\u2019re our ally! They\u2019re a democracy! Just go \u2014 all right. You\u2019re against giving money to a Democratic ally, correct? You\u2019re against that. But we\u2019re giving money to Ukraine.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Critic<\/em> star also signled out Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) for amplifying Hamas propaganda accusing the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) of killing hundreds of people in an air raid on on al-Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201c\u2018Free Palestine. I\u2019m not antisemitic,\u2019 but that means you want to get rid of Israel. She\u2019s in her office \u2014 in her office, there\u2019s pictures of it. She\u2019s got a map and a post-it over Israel, it says \u2018Palestine.\u2019 I mean, she\u2019s Palestinian. I get it\u2026 but she\u2019s spreading lies,\u201d he said. \u201cShe said that Israel bombed the hospital and killed 500 Palestinians. And then after they proved that Israel did not fire the bomb and the United States proved it and the bomb hit the parking lot, not the hospital, and the bomb was fired by jihad terrorists, and they have video of it where it\u2019s coming from, not from Israel, from Gaza and turning around and hitting the parking lot. She\u2019s never taken the tweet down or said I made a mistake. So how can you listen to anything she says?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This isn\u2019t the first time Lovitz has taken Tlaib to task for spreading Hamas\u2019s lies. Last month, the former \u201cSaturday Night Live\u201dcast member slammed<\/a> the Michican Democrat for failing to own up to her false tweets about the hospital bombing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cRep Talib, why not admit Israel DID NOT DROP THE BOMB on the hospital. You want to co-exist w\/ Israel? How about denouncing Hamas & getting a government in power who wants that too!\u201d he wrote on X.com.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This war is about Hamas, not Palestinians and their rights. And Hamas would gladly kill all the Jewish people that protested in the Rotunda. Protesting about a bomb Israel didn\u2019t drop!\u201d he wrote in another tweet.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
