Joan Rivers: 'Palestinians deserve to be dead'
The comedian surpasses herself as she makes a very controversial statement When told by a TMZ reporter than almost 2,000 Palestinians have been killed in the conflict, she raised her hands in mock shock ( scroll down to watch the film ). “Oh my God! Tell that to the people in Hiroshima,” she says on film. “Good. Good. When you declare war, you declare war. They started it. We now don't count who's dead. You're dead, you deserve to be dead. Don’t you dare make me feel bad about that.” “They were told to get out. They didn’t get out. You don’t get out, you are an idiot. At least the ones that were killed were the ones with low IQs.” She went onto describe Gaza’s Hamas government as “terrorists”. “They were re-elected by a lot of very stupid people who don’t even own a pencil,” she said.
