Amy Schumer believes she's the most successful female comedian of all time.
The standup comic and actor posted a series of text-based pictures to her Instagram clarifying her stance on the Israel vs Palestine conflict.
She has been very vocal about her concern for Israelis since Hamas launched a terror attack on the country earlier this month.
Her feed is full of updates, messages of support to the Jewish community and condemnation of Hamas.

It has sparked a war of words in her comments section and she's decided to take on her haters.
In her latest post, she said: "Couple things. What I want is EVERY HOSTAGE BACK I want safety and freedom from Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis.
"I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well. Everyone. Just like you. I want peace. You will never see me wishing harm on anyone.
"Saying I'm Islamophobic or that I like genocide is crazy. So here you go by popular demand. Comments on. Please keep the below in mind."
Then she went in on several comments that she has seen over the past few weeks and addressed their concerns.
"When you say I'm rich please add in 'SELF MADE' | come come being dirt poor," she said.
"Senator Chuck Schumer is my dads 2nd cousin once removed. I didn't meet him until | was 25.
"I have never been given any money to support a cause other than tampons.
"I've never stolen a joke.
"People calling me a failed comic. I'm the most successful female comedian of all time.
"I'm ugly/fat okay Sorry you aren't attracted to me. I found someone who is. I hope you find someone too.
"We are all in a lot of pain. What hurts the most is that we all actually love each other. You hate Jews. You don't know why. I still love you."
It's difficult to work out what she means by the 'most successful female comedian of all time'.
If she's referring to net worth, then she's off by a pretty big margin.
Celebrity Net Worth has valued the comedian at roughly $45 million, however Ellen DeGeneres, who got her start as a standup comic, has a net worth of $500 million.
If she's meaning success in the industry, it's hard to compare to the likes of Tina Fey, Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones and other popular female comics, because what determines who is more successful than the other.
