Joan Rivers is known for not holding back and when it came to talking about the Israeli-Gaza conflict she was no different.




After a TMZ reporter told her that almost 2,000 Palestinians were killed in conflict, Rivers didn't seem to have much sympathy.




“Oh my God! Tell that to the people in Hiroshima,” she said. "“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.”




The comedian even went as far as to call the decease Palestinians dumb.




“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 said.




In addition she called Gaza's Hamas government "terrorists."




Although her statements were made on tape, Rivers claims her words were taken out of context. As a result, she wrote a message on her official Facebook page.




“I am both saddened and disappointed that my statement about the tragedy of civilian casualties was totally taken out of context,” she wrote. “What I said and stand behind is, war is hell and unfortunately civilians are victims of political conflicts. We, The United States, certainly know this as 69 years later we still feel the guilt of Hiroshima and Nagasaki...The media, as usual, has decided to only quote the most out of context and inflammatory non sequitur rather than giving an accurate account of what my intentions were behind the statement.”
