Several women interrupted Chelsea Handler\u2019s comedy show in Richmond, Virginia, on Friday night in a coordinated effort to protest the Jewish comedian\u2019s support for Israel since the start of the Israel-Hamas war.<\/span><\/p>\n

The incident took place at Handler\u2019s show\u00a0Little Big Bit**h<\/em>\u00a0at the Altria Theater. In\u00a0a video<\/a>\u00a0that was shared on social media, one female audience member at the show stood up and shouted at Handler, \u201cMurder. Mass Murder.\u201d The pro-Israel comedian first replied, \u201cI can\u2019t hear you,\u201d before adding, \u201cOh, honey, please. This is not what this night is for.\u201d She then asked security guards to remove the protester from the audience.<\/span><\/p>\n

Female demonstrators in the audience also yelled \u201cPalestinian babies \u2014 you\u2019re a genocide supporter\u201d and \u201cFree Palestine.\u201d Some audience members who got frustrated by the show\u2019s interruption helped authorities identify the protesters and were told by one of the activists, \u201cYou guys should be this angry about genocide, not people standing up.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cBe angry about genocide and people dying \u2014 children are dying with our tax dollars,\u201d shouted the same protester, referring to the US providing aid to Israel amid its war against Hamas terrorists controlling the Gaza Strip following the Oct. 7 terrorist attacks. After an audience member answered, \u201cThey should die,\u201d the female protester replied, \u201cThey should die? Say that on camera.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

One protester was arrested by police and can be seen in the video being escorted away from the show in handcuffs. Handler also told the protesters, \u201cDo you know that I\u2019ve been on tour for a year and a half and this is the only city two people stand up? You guys really owe me an apology.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

The protesters appeared to be associated with the organization Here 4 The Kids, which\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in an Instagram post that the demonstrators on Friday night \u201cforced other white people to confront our American complicity in GENOCIDE, begging them to no longer remain silent after 195 days of massacre.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThese are protestors who are AGAINST the indiscriminate slaughter of human beings,\u201d the organization added, before telling Handler: \u201cYOU owe Palestinians an apology. YOU owe every single orphaned Palestinian child AN APOLOGY. YOU owe HUMANITY an apology. Demand a Free Palestine.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Handler\u00a0said<\/a>\u00a0in 2022 that she stands with the Jewish community in its fight against antisemitism and in February of this year filmed\u00a0a video<\/a>\u00a0with Israeli activist Noa Tishby to address misinformation being spread about Israel during the ongoing war in Gaza. She said in the clip that she is \u201cpro-Palestinian and anti-Hamas, and it is OK to question Israel\u2019s policies and still be pro-Israel.\u201d She also called Israel \u201cour greatest defense in the Middle East for all of Western democracy and Western values.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Although Handler has been critical of Israel over the years, she\u00a0joined hundreds of celebrities in signing on\u00a0open letter<\/a>\u00a0in October that thanked US President Joe Biden for supporting Israel after it launched a war targeting Hamas terrorists in Gaza. The open letter also called on Biden to \u201cnot rest until all hostages are released.\u201d Days after the Oct. 7 attacks, Handler, condemned Hamas and its \u201cbarbarism\u201d in a\u00a0statement<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n
