Loads of people feel like that about Palestine.
The other two things were clearly jokes, maybe in bad taste for some, but still jokes.
Ricky Gervais and Jimmy Carr, two of the most loved and successful comics in the UK (in the world with Gervais) tell jokes about rape, abortion and child abuse.
The people who take issue with Katie Hopkins are 'professional complainers' who love to pretend to be offended, especially when it's being offended on behalf of someone else.
