    Sad how many people don’t seem to get not persecuting people based on their race/religion/orientation, does not mean blindly protecting people who are doing terrible things.

    Judge people not by the color of their skin but by the content of their character. Which to be quite frank, Netanyahu’s character does not appear very good.

      Back in the day, Einstein and several other prominent Jews called herut (the political party that became Likud) Nazis. What’s happening now shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone. And that was back on 1948… when actual Nazism was a fresh wound

      (There’s a signed letter that was sent as an op ed to the New York Times.)

        Like how abused children often become child abusers themselves…

          Deeply conservative religious folks are frequently fascist.

          It comes with the notion that their religion is the right one, and everyone else’s is wrong, and of course its entirely appropriate to kill them for it.

          Zionist’s are on par with the worst zealots of any other religion on that score.

    This is the best summary I could come up with:


    After comedian Amy Schumer posted a video featuring clips of Martin Luther King Jr. speaking in support of Israel and denouncing antisemitism, his daughter Bernice King felt compelled to clarify what her father’s stance would be on the war between Israel and Hamas.

    “Amy: Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I,” Bernice King wrote in a thread on the social media platform X.

    I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released and for us to work for true peace, which includes justice."

    Schumer has been extremely vocal in her support of Israel, often posting information about the war and calling for the release of hostages.

    In an Oct. 25 post on X, she praised Sen. Chuck Schumer, a distant relative, for “pushing a very fair bill that gives Israel the money she needs to defend herself and provide ample funds to protect innocent civilians in Gaza.”

    In response to Amy Schumer’s tweet, Bernice King shared a different clip of her father talking about “moral power” and withdrawing from the Vietnam War.
