“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.

    So he’s a holocaust denier. He’s damned lucky he’s in the US where such vile racist hate speech is protected by free speech laws. But he’s unfit to lead anything and should be shunned by society.

      You should still post links to the images. Not enough people get exposed to the hard truth that is going on in Gaza. I’m one of those.

    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…

    “… and Palestinians aren’t actually people.”

    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

    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

      I would say that “Fascist” and even "Nazi "are pretty appropriate words for Genocide deniers.

        Back in the day calling someone a Nazi was a playground insult, it was like if you called someone a poopyhead. Now it’s an accurate description

      I appreciate the sentiment but maybe put his hand down for the lower one.

      That’s a small (and if we can do anything about it, shrinking) part of the Venn diagram.

    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.
