Roseanne Barr does not apologize, does not regret, and continues to speak her mind even more strongly. After the 70-year-old Jewish comedian ironically claimed that "no one died in the Holocaust" and that "six million Jews should die now because they are the source of all the trouble in the world" — and was accused of anti-Semitism for that — Roseanne was interviewed earlier this week on Piers Morgan Uncensored, explaining to the experienced British journalist exactly what she meant.

Along the way, she also addressed the volatile political situation in Israel, stating that a civil war was taking place between the Jews.
"Has our world gone crazy, Roseanne?" asked Morgan in an interview, adding: "When I look at the reactions to what you say or do, when I look at the rage with which people treat jokes, humor, sarcasm and irony, I am terrified to find that the essence of comedy, for example, is erased from our lives."

Barr's answer was unequivocal: "Yes, the world has gone crazy. You really have to be anxious, Pierce. Anyone with a sense and a measure of humanity should also be anxious. They turn stupidity into weapons, and people have sunk to such a low level that they can't handle satire because the media feeds them around the clock," Roseanne clarified, once again clarifying the essence of her "anti-Semitic" statement: "I meant exactly the opposite. The fact that it went over everyone's head is not my fault."

At this point in the interview, Morgan asked Roseanne why she supposedly didn't understand her humor. Her response was surprising – and quite topical – "It's because I'm a marked target. For 6,000 years there has been a civil war between Jews. It has now reached its peak, and I have been singled out by Jews on the other side of the political spectrum," she concluded, and there is no doubt that along the way she also caused a new scandal.
