Comedian <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/michael-rapaport" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Michael Rapaport</a> blasted “Saturday Night Live” for remaining silent about the Israeli hostages who remain in captivity nearly 500 days after the October 7 Hamas terrorist attack.
In a video <a href="https://x.com/MichaelRapaport/status/1882811333458194626">posted</a> to X on Friday, the 54-year-old actor pointed out how “SNL” hasn’t been afraid to tackle things like the accusations of physical abuse by women against Sean &#8220;Diddy&#8221; Combs, but have yet to mention the words &#8220;Jews,&#8221; &#8220;hostages,&#8221; &#8220;Israel,&#8221; or &#8220;kidnapped.&#8221;
Rapaport talked about how Dave Chappelle hosted the <a href="https://www.nbcnews.com/news/us-news/dave-chappelle-donald-trump-snl-monologue-rcna188333">show</a> the weekend ahead of President Donald Trump’s inauguration and called on Trump to “not forget your humanity, and please have empathy for displaced people, whether they’re in the Palisades or Palestine.”
“And I was thinking, Dave Chappelle, you did not mention, &#8216;or if they are being held hostage in Palestine,'&#8221; Rapaport said. “But ‘Saturday Night Live’ you pride yourself on being this anti-establishment, punk rock, cutting edge, rock and roll, against the man, establishment of comedy.”
“This is the second time in 470-plus days you’ve had one of your hosts mention or say something about free Palestine … but not one time in 470-plus days, not one of you motherf***ers says Israel, Jewish or the word hostages,” he added.

He captioned the clip, “I’m gonna predict now that weak ass [nbcsnl] will spoof Elon [Musk]as a N [Nazi]-word, but won’t mention the word Jews,Israel,Hostages or Kidnapped.”
In a later <a href="https://x.com/MichaelRapaport/status/1882791162496606448">clip</a>, Rapaport went on a profanity-laced rant where he called out New York Democrat <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/netanyahu-defends-musk-after-aoc-leftist-media-smear-him-as-a-nazi" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez</a>, who took to social media after Trump’s inauguration to falsely claim Musk did some kind of Nazi salute during one of the inauguration events.

“You are upset about Elon Musk, [but] you’re not upset about the fact that seven Americans are still being held hostage,” the actor blasted, pointing out how AOC went to Columbia University “yucking it up” with protestors who called to “globalize the Intifada.”
“And you’re worried about Elon Musk, you f***ing clown…” he added, telling AOC if she&#8217;s really worried about Jews, she should go back to Columbia university and “chastise the motherf***ers who are saying &#8216;globalize the Intifada,&#8217; which means kill f***ing Jews. Start violence against f***ing Jews.”
“You’re yucking it up up there, AOC, and you got nothing to say. You’re freaked out about Elon Musk,” Rapaport continued, telling AOC if she’s really worried about Jewish people, she should say things like, “Free the hostages,&#8221; or she should &#8220;condemn Hamas.”
The comments come following the release of the first three hostages under Israel and Hamas’ hostage and ceasefire deal. Three Israeli women — Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher, and Emily Damari — arrived home on Sunday safely after 471 days in captivity, as previously <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/breaking-3-israeli-hostages-freed-after-nearly-500-days">reported</a>.
