“They said, ‘Well, Saudi Arabia killed a journalist,’ and rest in peace, Jamal Khashoggi. I’m sorry that he got murdered in such a heinous fashion. And also, look, bro, Israel’s killed 240 journalists in the last three months, so I didn’t know y’all were still counting.”

see Dave Chapelle does know how to be funny, shame he's backed himself into a corner, but it's deliberate and he's benefitting significantly

I didn’t find that funny at all, just Dave using real tragedy to gain attention and money once again
