Actress, comedian and podcast host Amanda Seales has been sharing daily with her 2.2 million Instagram followers messages, photos and videos criticizing Israel and the country’s ongoing military campaign against Hamas terrorists controlling the Gaza Strip.
From 2017 to 2021, Seales starred in the HBO comedy series Insecure. She had an HBO stand-up comedy special titled I Be Knowin, was a former co-host of the syndicated daytime talk show The Real and hosted NBCs Bring the Funny. She has a weekly podcast called Small Doses and a book by the same name.
In her Instagram Stories this week alone, Seales posted an image of a tweet claiming that Israel is “asserting white superiority” over the Palestinians and shared a video of children at a pro-Palestinian rally chanting “Free, Free, Free Palestine” and “From the river, Palestine will be free.” The slogan has been widely interpreted as a call for Israel, which is located between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean Sea, to be eradicated and replaced by “Palestine.”

She also shared on her Instagram Story messages that call for a boycott of Israel and lambast the United States for aiding Israel amid its war against Hamas. She additionally reposted a video showing a compilation of images taken at a pro-Palestinian rally where protesters held signs that read, “boycott Israel,” “Free Palestine” and “End Israel state terror.” Other banners at the rally accused Israel of colonialism and genocide.
Speaking into the camera in a video she shared on her Instagram Story on Tuesday, Seales said, “The Israel state was created to have a transfer of white supremacy, you don’t see that? You don’t see the absolute racism they enact not just towards Palestinains but towards Black people? Like, them people racist.” She additionally said Israel supporters are part of a “cult of colonialism that believe yeah, we have the right to take,” and that any support they show for the Black community in America is “from a supremacy standpoint.” She then warned her fans, “be careful of people whose generosity only extends from their dominance.”
On Wednesday, she reposted a video commentary about the recent congressional testimonies given by top American college presidents about antisemitism at their universities. The commentator in the clip called US Rep. Elise Stefanik (R-NY), who grilled the university presidents, a “known antisemite” and blasted her for asking questions about the genocide of Jews.
Seales, who also advocates for a ceasefire between Israel and Hamas, shared in a permanent post on her Instagram page a video in which Israel is described as “a white supremacist state.” She also called it “disappointing” that musician Ziggy Marley, the son of reggae icon Bob Marley, expressed support for Israel and called for Gaza to be “free from Hamas.”
The comedian is set to perform in New York City’s Minetta Lane Theatre from Dec. 14-16 for an event titled “In Love and Struggle,” which “brings together a group of visionary Black women and nonbinary people for a series of unforgettable evenings filled with storytelling, music, comedy, and monologues.”
The Minette Lane Theatre did not immediately respond to The Algemeiner‘s request for comment about Seales’ social media activity.

The Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces said on Sunday that five of its members had been killed during an attack by Islamic State militants on a checkpoint in eastern Syria’s Deir el-Zor on July 31.
The SDF was the main fighting force allied to the United States in Syria during fighting that defeated Islamic State in 2019 after the group declared a caliphate across swathes of Syria and Iraq.
The Islamic State has been trying to stage a comeback in the Middle East, the West and Asia. Deir el-Zor city was captured by Islamic State in 2014, but the Syrian army retook it in 2017.

Armed Groups Attack Security Force Personnel in Syria’s Sweida, Killing One, State TV Reports

Armed groups attacked personnel from Syria’s internal security forces in Sweida, killing one member and wounding others, and fired shells at several villages in the violence-hit southern province, state-run Ekhbariya TV reported on Sunday.
The report cited a security source as saying the armed groups had violated the ceasefire agreed in the predominantly Druze region, where factional bloodshed killed hundreds of people last month.
Violence in Sweida erupted on July 13 between tribal fighters and Druze factions. Government forces were sent to quell the fighting, but the bloodshed worsened, and Israel carried out strikes on Syrian troops in the name of the Druze.
The Druze are a minority offshoot of Islam with followers in Syria, Lebanon and Israel. Sweida province is predominantly Druze but is also home to Sunni tribes, and the communities have had long-standing tensions over land and other resources.
A US-brokered truce ended the fighting, which had raged in Sweida city and surrounding towns for nearly a week. Syria said it would investigate the clashes, setting up a committee to investigate the attacks.
The Sweida bloodshed last month was a major test for interim President Ahmed al-Sharaa, after a wave of sectarian violence in March that killed hundreds of Alawite citizens in the coastal region.
