“There was an incident on the New York subway and a bunch of people got on, protesters or whatever, and said, ‘All the Zionists, get off.’ When the head of the Brooklyn Museum, who was Jewish, but the Brooklyn Museum had nothing to do with Israel or taking positions on Israel — her house is smeared in red paint. That’s antisemitism. And a lot of the slogans that people use either are or slide into antisemitism.”
“The one that bothers me the most is genocide,” Schumer added. “Genocide is described as a country or some group tries to wipe out a whole race of people, a whole nationality of people. So if Israel was not provoked and just invaded Gaza and shot at random Palestinians, Gazans, that would be genocide. That’s not what happened. In fact, the opposite happened. And Hamas is much closer to genocidal than Israel.
Schumer also sharply criticized the UN for using the term “genocide” when describing the war in Gaza. “The U.N. has been anti-Israel, antisemitically against Israel. [Daniel Patrick] Moynihan was my idol. He became famous when in 1976 [it was 1975] they tried to pass a resolution, Zionism is racism.
It’s really funny how Palestine really is turning out to be a litmus test for people who are progressive vs. ‘moderates’ who wind up throwing the working class under the bis
Thanks for clearing that up, Schumer.
Damn, he is licking israel shoes while trump kicking him at the same time.

Edit: Apologies, it seems spoiler tags may not be hiding the images. I removed them.
These are nothing compared to the many many videos out there. To call this anything but a genoclde is DelusionaI and lgnorant. My fuckin bIood is boiling!
I feel for the people of Palestine and their lonely struggle. I hope the ongoing genocide against them somehow ceases soon.
I have no words for those who deny the genocide.
Hey, through your comment you’re doing something which at least brings the struggle to light.
I’m Palestinian, and your comment kinda also provides a reason why every Palestinian citizen supports Hamas openly. In the lonely struggle of having most of the world’s governments supporting the opposition, any organisation that fights for your right to exist is going to be your heroes.
If Hamas hadn’t performed their operation, then the huge increase in people who used the operation as a reason to look into it and ended up as supporters of Palestine wouldn’t have happened.
This does not mean that I’m okay with people dying on either side, but that it gave Israel’s insane propaganda team an opportunity to shoot themselves in the foot by having their military show their true intentions
There is No War in Ba Sing Se Don’t believe your lying eyes
Dude, just have a look at the wall.
Broken clock moment
He can easily spot a genocide when the out-group is doing it.
Y’know, while you were writing a book on anti-Semitism you could’ve easily wrote that it’s okay [for Jewish people at least] to criticize Israel.
If I ask an individual named Chuck Schumer, then I’ll get his answer, his opinion. Being oppressed by abusive and exploitative leaders is a valid struggle.
Your point is not very clear, or I’m having a brain fart. Do you mind rephrasing?
Agreed. I think I’m smelling toast.
How much wood would a woodchuck chuck?
Approximately 320kg per day, I am informed.
That’s a lot of dick for a 70 year old. Thanks for the stats though ;)
