He ended his post with, “God bless America. #IstandwithIsrael.”In a separate message, Lovitz shared a news article with a headline citing confessions by Hamas members about atrocities committed during the October 7 attacks. Addressing Oliver directly, he added, “Please talk about this on your next show.”The post John Oliver episode criticizing Netanyahu blocked from viewers in Israel appeared first on World Israel News.
