1. i wouldnt pay a shekel to see her...disgusting
JL   (05.30.11)
and a top parrot for obama
2. Finally some good news for a change :^)
Nick Sporek ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.30.11)
3. for once i actually hope the pali groups succeed in boycott
(05.30.11)
please, keep her away from here!
4. go back home sara
michelle ,   usa and israel   (05.30.11)
she is always in the left left liberal group- one of those self hating jews. anti israel, pro palestinian peace b.c its just so humanitarian... blah blah go back home we dont need you in israel.
5. If only....
Ben ,   Israel   (05.30.11)
If only Israeli media (paparazzi) could leave celebrities alone upon arriving in Israel they would like to comeback, guaranteed. But "they" dont, and "they" wont...
6. Welcome Sarah!
Yakov ,   Tel Aviv   (05.30.11)
A warm welcome to a talented and intelligent woman. I have seen her perform before, and I sure will now. She is amazing! I wonder if she is single?
7. Why make politics from comedy? A shunda!
ST ,   Jerusalem, Israel   (05.30.11)
She did what many American Jews thought would be best for the country and supported a presidential nominee that seemed to CARE about the people. Moreover, her "support for Obama" was largely to get young Jews to care about voting- not just for Obama. Put your politics aside on this one and instead commend her for being a self-made outspoken shana maidel. An American Jew that REMEMBERS her ties to Israel- isn't that what's important?
8. Sarah Silverman is absolutely hilarious
Baruch ,   Paris, France   (05.30.11)
Sarah Silverman is absolutely hilarious and anyone who remains straight-faced when she performs must be totally humourless. Kol hakavod Saraleh!
9. #4: Michelle - think again
Josh ,   Tel-Aviv   (05.30.11)
You have no clue what you are talking about. Sarah Silverman is not 'anti Israel' or a 'self-hating Jew'. Her sister moved to Israel with her family (aliyah), adopted two Ethiopian children, and live in Jerusalem. Now Sarah is coming to do a show in Israel - in support of Israel. Get a grip!
10. Remember
Marty ,   Toronto Canada   (05.30.11)
Just remember she produced a video on You Tube called "Get Your Bubbie to Vote for Obama" which she called the "Great Schlep" - so we all know where her sentiments are.
11. She's as funny as cancer
Babishka ,   USA/Mea Shearim   (05.30.11)
All you devoted fans of Sarah Silverman should watch the video she made of herself at a nursing home, making fun of a bunch of old people with Alzheimer's. I hope she comes to entertain you when you're sick and dying. You'll die laughing!
12. This is what Love&Hate looks like: to be that funny you have
tom ,   tel aviv   (05.30.11)
to pretty intelligent and she is, to be of her political persuasion... it's like... just the opposite of smart?! Not the first, not the last. But all in all: she is hilarious and that's what counts
13. #4, if she hates Israel, why oh why
Carl ,   Nassau County, USA   (05.31.11)
If Sarah hates Israel, why is she coming to support Israel? You right wingers make absolutely no sense.
14. #10 I agree. Silverman helped elect Obama.
Sue ,   Los Angeles   (05.31.11)
When it looked like Jews in Florida and other states were going to vote for McCain, Silverman organized an agressive campaign to change their minds. If it weren't for her, Obama would have lost Florida - and the election. I will never watch any show with her in it... ever! Even if the tickets were free.
15. To #8 You french also think Jerry Lewis
jason white ,   afula,israel   (05.31.11)
is funny.So much for your opinion of humor.
16. Sara Silverman is vulgarity personified
Arn ,   Yehud, Israel   (05.31.11)
This is the slut who made a video with Matt Damon which she sends to her ex Jimmy Kimmel (and the rest of the world) singing "I f****d Matt Damon" - a refrain repeated 50 times! She is an absolutely horrible person who thrives on a culture of crass vulgarity with pretensions as humor.
17. To #1-Not Only Is She Duisgusting But She Got 0-bama Elected
Erin Hunt ,   Rockville, Md.   (05.31.11)
Please Israel, please do not let this leftist, Gaza-Flotilla-Supporting, 0-bama-Election-$upporting YACHNA b*tch into your beautiful country. She makes us ALL look bad w/ her slutty, very dirty woman stage "shows" which she then roundaboutly defers to her Jewish sense of humor. It is not a sense of humor when it is pure evil and negative. Her material lacks heart and depth because of this lack of self respect and frankly, lack of G-d, which is vacant from her family for generations (like a lot of us, unfortunately).
18. i make a prediction
michelle ,   usa and israel   (05.31.11)
she will come back from israel (possibly visiting the poor poor refugees and giving them her ok for statehood- after all how can they not have it without all the celebrities endorsements first...) then shell go back to the talk show circuits and use israel for more of the crap she dribbles out and calls comedy. and yes i have seen her on numerous interviews and heard her bad mouth her ex... she is truly a vulgar and self hating person. the bubbe obama thing was unbelievable!
19. Sarah Silverman is my favourite
Tomek ,   Poland   (05.31.11)
Zionist comedienne. She might be crude but she always delivers her jokes with innocence of a little girl. I admire the contrast between her beautiful face and her potty mouth.
20. Sarah Silverman is unfortunately SCHIZOPHRENIA as stage show
A. Servi ,   NYC   (05.31.11)
We should actually feel sorry for her and hope she gets some real help soon. She does much damage to Judaism and Jewish people everywhere by agreeing with stereotypes about us and promoting them in her sick comedy. There is a fine line where parody and comedy crossover into blatant anti Jewish hate speech. It doesn't belong anywhere, least of which IS Israel.
21. Sarah Dont Pay No Attention....
Bridgitte ,   NYC- ISrael   (05.31.11)
To these rude comments, only crazy ppl write on these talkbacks - I am hoping to sell one of my kids to get the cash to see you in TA - wanna hang post show?
22. Sarah Traitorman
Tel Aviv Daromi ,   Tel Aviv, Israel   (05.31.11)
She's working for the "other side." I hope the Israeli government is keeping tabs on this loser. In fact, Sara, don't come to Israel, no one needs you here, even Jimmy Kimmel couldn't take your nasty vulgar mouth and your sick ideas. How about you do a "reverse schlep" and schlep yourself back to your "Amerika" where you belong. Don't come here and sully up our beautiful land with your self-hating negativity. You have absolutely nothing to be proud of. You only bring our people down. Take a hike, sister.
23. Don't go.
David M.   (05.31.11)
She is not funny, vulgar and superficially Jewish.To top it all she is a propaganda mouthpiece for Obama.
24. She is crude and anti-Israe
Steve ,   UK   (05.31.11)
She has made lewd attacks against Israel in her "humor" show. He humor is gross and infantile
25. Sarah
(05.31.11)
I once read that she said that she is only culturally a Jew, not religously. By the way one of her sisters made aliyah and is a "rabbi"!
26. Silverman Should start her visit to Israel at Yad Vashm
OnTheOtheSide ,   USA   (06.01.11)
Hope you all bring rotten eggs, that about all she deserves. This stupid woman has come to fame not by intellect but by dancing of the ashes of the holocaust victims. SAVE YOUR MONEY< DO NOT WASTE IT ON THIS loser. Her audience in the USA are the Jew haters.
27. So, which comedian is not?
C McCoy ,   Canada   (06.01.11)
You know, good taste in comedians used to be, back when I was a kid, back when dinosaurs roamed the earth LOL. In those days, there was one TV channel Canadian Broadcasting Corporation and they enforced standards of good taste. But hey, we're talking 50 years ago now, all comedians nowadays are rude, crude and lewd. Is she any worse than any of the others? Now before you jump all over me, what I would say is once I discovered the news had more humor value in it than TV comedy, I switched, that was about 1980.
28. High Profile Manic Jews
ManicJewishDamage ,   Jerusalem Israel   (06.01.11)
Unfortunately it is our fate to have to suffer the public displays of manic disorders of high profile Jews that contribute to anti semitism the media and the world love them.
