Rabbi-turned-comedian, and winner of a special Tony Award, Jackie Mason recently shared his two cents about recent comments made by celebrities that seemed to be against Israel.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, Mason said in a pre-recorded radio segment on Aaron Klein Investigative Radio that there is prolific anti-semitism in Israel. Of such people, he said, "They come from these kinds of anti-Semitic backgrounds where a Jew is the most disgusting thing in the world to them."

"The ironic thing is that it's Jewish people who own these Hollywood studios ... And they all hire these people and they depend on them for a living. Every penny they made is made from Jews and they hate every Jew just by nature." Klein asked him to comment on some recent criticizers of Israel due to the conflict in Gaza, including Selena Gomez, Penelope Cruz, and Rhianna.
