Amy Schumer believes she's the greatest female comedian in history.

The actor and stand-up comedian clarified her position on the Israel-Palestine issue on Instagram with a series of text-based images.

Since Hamas carried out a terror strike on the nation earlier this month, she has been outspoken about her worry for Israelis.

Her account is flooded with updates, pro-Israel sentiments, and criticism of Hamas.

She's decided to take on those who dislike her after it started a verbal battle in her comments section.

In her latest post, she said: "Couple things. What I want is EVERY HOSTAGE BACK I want safety and freedom from Hamas for Palestinians and Israelis.”

"I want safety for Jewish people and Muslims as well. Everyone. Just like you. I want peace. You will never see me wishing harm on anyone.”

"Saying I'm Islamophobic or that I like genocide is crazy. So here you go by popular demand. Comments on. Please keep the below in mind."

Determining her meaning as the "most successful female comedian of all time" is a challenging task.

If she's talking about one's financial value, then her estimate is significantly inaccurate.

While Ellen DeGeneres, who began her career as a stand-up comedian, has a net worth of $500 million, the comedian is estimated by Celebrity Net Worth to be worth only $45 million.

It's difficult to compare her to well-known female comics like Tina Fey, Wanda Sykes, Sarah Silverman, Leslie Jones, and others if success in the industry is what makes one greater than the other.
