So this is my interpretation, SBC I don't know his politics or how he sides with Israel. He creates caricatures and puts them into real world situations to see how others react to it. SS was trying to be edgy but went full racist instead. She should be judged for that. I also don't know her stance on Israel.

The third guy I don't even recognize them. I don't support any of these people, I don't find Silverman funny, and Cohen can be grating at times.

For context: Sasha Baron Cohen a Zionist Jew who staged anti-black and and Muslim-hatred content in his movies while lying that that it was all real. He even framed a Palestinian grocer as a terrorist in his movie Bruno and settled a lawsuit over that.

Palestinian grocer settles $115 million lawsuit against Sacha Baron Cohen

JERUSALEM (JTA) — A Palestinian grocer who sued actor Sacha Baron Cohen for $115 million over his portrayal as a terrorist in the film "Bruno" has settled his slander lawsuit.

Ayman Abu Aita filed the lawsuit in the United States in late 2009 against the movie’s producers and Cohen. His attorney would not discuss the terms of the settlement, which was settled last week, according to reports.

In the movie, Ayman Abu Aita, a Christian peace activist, escorted Cohen’s alter-ego Bruno, a gay fashion journalist trying to make peace in the Middle East, to a Lebanese refugee camp. Abu Aita was identified in a caption as "Terrorist group leader, Al Aqsa Martyrs Brigade."
