TikTok Is A Cesspool Of Pro-Terrorist Propaganda
Over the span of two weeks, anti-Israel content outpaced pro-Israel content in the U.S. by more than two times.Over the span of two weeks, anti-Israel content outpaced pro-Israel content in the U.S. by more than two times.'You hate Jews': Amy Schumer refuses to back down over outrage from fans because she defends Israel
Comedian Amy Schumer will not apologize for defending Israel.
In the weeks since Hamas' barbaric attack on Israel, Schumer has posted numerous pro-Israel messages to social media. She has brought attention to hostages, warned against a ceasefire knowing one would only reward Hamas, and refused to make equivalencies between Israel and Hamas while still mourning the Palestinian civilians whom Hamas uses as human shields.
Schumer's position is not surprising. She is Jewish and a descendant of Auschwitz survivors. But she is quickly learning that anti-Semitism infects far-left progressive circles because her messages supportive of Israel have drawn personal attacks against her.
On Wednesday, Schumer finally responded to that criticism.
"Couple things," she began. "What I want is EVERY HOSTAGE BACK. I want safety and freedom from Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis. I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well. Everyone. Just like you. I want peace.
"You will never see me wishing harm on anyone. Saying I'm Islamophobic or that I like genocide is crazy," she added.
Schumer then addressed specific attacks against her.
"When you say I'm rich please add in 'SELF MADE,'" she said, "I come come [sic] being dirt poor."
"Senator Chuck Schumer is my dads 2nd cousin once removed. I didn't meet him until I was 25. I have never been given any money to support a cause other than tampons. I've never stolen a joke," she continued. "People calling me a failed comic. I'm the most successful female comedian of all time. I'm ugly/fat okay Sorry you aren't attracted to me. I found someone who is. I hope you find someone too."
Schumer ended with a zinger to anyone who hates Israel and Jews.
"We are in a lot of pain. What hurts the most is that we all actually love each other. You hate Jews. You don't know why. I still love you," she concluded.
Earlier this week, Schumer revealed that she has lost friends for supporting Israel.
"I'm sad to have lost so many friends these last few weeks but feel powerful and free knowing I stand for the truth and will fight for it always," Schumer said. "I'm a proud Jewish woman and have every right to be. Head high. Spirits high. Love to my fellow brothers and sisters."
Schumer has faced attacks not only from no-name social media users, but even a senior-level aide to Los Angeles City Councilmember Hugo Soto-Martínez (D) personally attacked Schumer with fat jokes and Holocaust references. That aide, Josh Androsky, later resigned.

’Life And Beth’ Accidentally Underscores The Failures Of Feminism
'Life and Beth' is a testament to the necessity of values Amy Schumer doesn’t quite seem to know she holds.
Hollywood's Time's Up charities spent donations on large salaries, paid little to help victims: report
The "Time's Up" organization, which is backed by several Hollywood actresses, spent a large amount of its donations on salaries, but relatively very little on legal costs to assist victims in court, according to public records.
The Time's Up legal defense fund was founded on Jan. 1, 2018, after receiving major donations from Hollywood A-listers. The organization was formed as a way to fight legal battles of victims of sexual harassment during the #MeToo movement.
The organization that started as a legal fund to fight systemic sexual harassment in Hollywood, now has a mission where "every person — across race, ethnicity, religion, sexuality, gender identity, and income level — to be safe on the job and have equal opportunity for economic success and security."
The Time's Up Foundation and Time's Up Now Inc. raised $3,670,219 in 2018, but spent $1,407,032 on salaries and only $312,001, less than 10%, on the Time's Up Legal Defense Fund for victims of sexual harassment, according to the New York Post.
Charity Navigator, a charity watchdog group website that rates charities for effectiveness, said charities "spending less than a third of their budget on program expenses are simply not living up to their missions." Time's Up spent 38% on salaries.
Time's Up Now, the lobbying arm of the organization, spent $157,155 on conferences at the Ojai Valley Inn, a "premier Southern California luxury resort and award-winning spa." An additional $58,395 was spent on travel.
Time's Up Now spent $288,007 on advertising, and $940,328 on legal costs. Tax filings show $112,435 went to Rally, a public relations company, and $719,522 was given to "Arnold & Porter Kaye Scholer, a multinational law firm with a powerful lobbying arm on Capitol Hill," according to the New York Post.
Former president of the WNBA, Lisa Borders, was hired as the CEO of Time's Up in 2018, but left the organization four months later after her 36-year-old son was accused of sexual misconduct. Borders was supplied with a $342,308 salary.
Time's Up Marketing Director Rachel Terrace received a salary of $ 295,000 in 2018, while Treasurer Rebecca Goldman received a salary of $ 255,327.
Members of the "Governing Board of Directors" include former senior advisor to Barack Obama Valerie Jarrett, actress-turned-Democratic activist Ashley Judd, actress and host of the 2020 Democratic National Convention Eva Longoria, CNN pundit Ana Navarro, and Jussie Smollett's sister, Jurnee Smollett.
The Time's Up organization also features a "Global Leadership Board," which includes actresses Rosanna Arquette, Jessica Chastain, Laura Dern, America Ferrera, Brie Larson, Alyssa Milano, Janelle Monáe, Julianne Moore, Natalie Portman, Amy Schumer, Kerry Washington, and Reese Witherspoon.
Actress Rose McGowan criticized Time's Up on multiple occasions, and called the organization a "lie."
"The thing is is that, the intentions are good, but I know the people behind it," McGowan said of Time's Up during an appearance on "The View" in January 2018. "It's for CAA agents who needed good PR. And I hope that they, desperately, help these women."
