Donald Trump: "Schumer is a Palestinian as far as I am concerned. He has become a Palestinian. He used to be Jewish. He is not Jewish anymore. He is a Palestinian."

Chuck Schumer is a piece of shit, but to draw a parallel between him and a people we are genociding currently certianly sets a dangerous precident that was identified by the "first they came for" poem.
Well, if an individual can determine the religion of another just by saying so..........Trump is a Satanist. He used to be a fake christian but now he is a Satanist. He is not christian anymore.
Trump being antisemitic is not a surprise, but how much more brazen does he need to be before people with influence care enough to say something about it?
As much as I dislike Schumer right now. Trump is beyond words in his wretched pathetic use of words that show how evil his heart is right now. No one with an ounce of decency should bow to this man.
Push back. Don’t wait for instructions. RESIST

All those nice church-goin’ folks back home love this stuff. Absolutely love it. There will be lots of knowing grins and chuckles about it after Wednesday night Bible study tonight.
I am no longer surprised by anything Trump says, but I continue to be shocked that his supporters are okay with it. He is the only president in history who has ever talked like this. He is a petulant child and, as an American, I am embarrassed that he is our duly elected leader.
This is the third time he has said basically this about white ppl he disagrees with. I will always be baffled by people who thought Trump would be better for Palestinians.
He just can't hide it "Jews and holocaust tragedy is used as cover for antisemitic and zionistic progaganda." - what has been ongoing already for many years.
Settle down: this was never implied. I understand that pre-Israel, Palestinians and Jews lived side-by-side, but were distinct. Being a Jew is primarily a question of ancestry, not a question of faith. I don't know if that's also the case for Palestinians. Would you mind clarifying?
A Jewish person who lives in Palestine would be a “Palestinian Jew”, there are, presumably, some families of Jewish people who lived in the region prior to 1948. Also I suppose a settler who has been there for more than a generation might consider their kids Palestinian and Jewish.
The Jewish people who lived in Palestine prior to the formation of the state of Israel were Palestinian Jews. Their religion was Judaism, their national identity was Palestinian.
This is where it is a bit fuzzy for me. Elsewhere, I provided the example of Turkey, where Turks and Kurds are the dominant people. Though they are both Turkish nationally, they clearly maintain their separate national identities. I think it's the same for Palestinians and Jews.
Yes you can, it's a religion, you can forsaken your religion. But I think Trump is not talking about religion but race, and Jews are not a race, Nazis think so tho.
Like all religions it's made up has nothing absolute / measurable defining it and is malleable.
And like with others, there are different interpretations, nothing is sacred, God doesn't exist or care, all its rules and requirements are a smokescreen.
I agree with your point. Of course a person can apostatize from Judaism but it doesn't necessarily exclude one from Jewish identity. Trumps comment that Schumer is now a Palestinian was meant as a racial slur. He was referring to the ethnoreligious aspect of Judaism. The shared ethnic identity.
With all die respect I doubt there is any point in arguing about any of this stuff.
Furthermore I don't think Trump is intelligent enough to take literally any of this into consideration.
I agree with your point that "Jewish" isn't a race, but it's also not correct to claim that being a Jew means believing in the religion of Judaism. Jewish-ness is to be part of a community, the Jewish community. One can be an atheist and still be a Jew, ie identify with and be accepted as a member 1
Who says? If they still identify as being a Jew and are accepted as a Jew by the wider Jewish community (which I suspect they would be), they'd still be a Jew. Being a Jew doesn't require one to have a specific belief about the existence or lack thereof of a deity.
Make no mistake. This is 100% on Republicans and we will be boisterous in letting Trump, Musk, Speaker Johnson, all #GOP & corporate media know that they own this.
If I was the Irish PM, (who had already been insulted by the Orange nitwit) I’d have walked out at this point and told this fascist to shut the feck up.
Not unique. Extremists longing for the second coming have this logic: Don't want jewish people where they are. They killed christ. Want them in Palestine to kill muslims. Preferrably with nukes so they can get armageddon.
For clarity's sake, does this mean that Jews are defined as those who support Zionism, while Palestinians are those who do not? Does this classification make evangelicals Jewish? Do Americans exist as a distinct group, or are they further divided into American Jews and American Palestinians?
It means he read a tweet by Laura Loomer, a hardcore reactionary/ultrazionist, in which she called Schumer a race traitor for criticizing Benjamin Netanyahu. He doesn't have a coherent idea of what he's saying beyond that idea being in his head.
Hits differently when you’re saying it to an international audience from the oval - in front of the Taoiseach (Ireland, for obvious historic relatability- is sympathetic to Palestinians)
Jane Elliot separated her 3rd graders by eye color when MLKjr was assassinated & they couldn't understand why he was murdered. Discrimination started immediately. Within a day 2 boys got in a fistfight because one called the other "Blue Eyes". Trump is like a third grader, so he does the same shit.
Hey GOP. You control all three branches. Pass your own damn bill. If you can’t, compromise and dial back the shitcrazy authoritarianism. That’s politics. @peters.senate.gov @slotkin.senate.gov vote no.
No. They are too busy being afraid that their company will be bought by a right wing billionaire like CNN was. They are trying to hang on to their jobs as long as they can.
I love that a genocidaire like @schumer.senate.gov is getting this treatment. Trump's going to prosecute him and Chuck will be over here authorizing his members to approve of Trump noms and budget asks.
Trump's grandfather fled Germany to avoid the German draft. Trump's real name is Drumpf. And since he exchanged his American identity for Russian, he's a Russian dummkauf.
And Schumer's position isn't that much different from the ADL's either. If the ADL and Israel aren't getting the hint about what is to come, I'm not sure they ever will.
There are both Muslim and Christian Palestinians. It only matters that they are Palestinians. It is vile how badly they have been treated and dehumanized for 75+ years by the west.
We don't know this yet, thankfully. And, like, I don't care about Schumer personally but if we're talking about antisemitism here we should probably keep the focus on that.
Except we're not talking about anti-semitism. We're talking about Israel's policies on Gaza, and about how any criticism of Israel or its policies is called anti-semitism by the terrorists who support the war criminals in Israel.
the OP is about Trump suggesting Schumer isn't "really" Jewish because of his politics. Which is naked textbook antisemitism. I'm just saying we have the whole rest of this website to bitch about Schumer but this is about Trump being despicable.
Only if being anti-Palestinian is antisemitic. Trump says Schumer is Palestinian because he considers that an insult. Clearly the offended group in that statement are Palestinians rather than Jews.
I'm not saying Trump is antisemitic because of his stance on Israel lol. I'm saying he's indulging in ancient gutter bigotry like the piece of shit he is.
Obviously it's ANTI-ARAB racism too! Since "Palestinian" to him is an insult. But he's using it to smear a prominent Jew as some kind of race-traitor or something.
It's also not true that any criticism of Israel is called anti-semitic. Anyone is free to criticize any government without labeling its people one way or another. Same as I'd hope the world would not assume all Americans are like Trump.
If I had a dollar from everyone who's said that criticizing Israel is anti-semitic I could buy a new car. A palestinian had his green card revoked and deportation started because his protests against Israel are now offically considered by the government to be terrorist acts against jews.
The US government shouldn't be policing speech unless it's inciting violence. Criticizing Israel's government isn't anti-semitic by itself, but the outcome one seeks could well be.
I wrote a longer article that might help tease out why something is or isn't anti-semitic:
See, this is what I was suggesting we NOT do on this particular post? But here we are. Anyway. (That post remains unconfirmed and nobody seems to know who the guy is despite sharing it breathlessly. Could be true. I dunno. Anyway, I'm out.)
Nah, it's pretty hard to be sympathetic with someone refusing to put a fight and be the fuckin leader he is paid to be and dragging us all down with him.
Fuck antisemitism but fuck the DNC and fuck Chuck too.
The remarkable thing about this insanity is that even after 10yrs of it, 100s of journalists still have no idea, whatsoever, of how they should go about dealing with it...
media of today is acting identical to the mainstream media in the 20s and 30s doing everything they can to normalize fascism and discredit people with real concerns as "chicken littles" msm are proudly ignoring the lessons of history and it will lead to the deaths of tens of millions
All kinds of parallels/consequences
A cornucopia of diabolical intent being entertaind, casually appreciated, or purposefully adhered to by media moguls & their underlings
I just don't think most individual reporters are doing this with that intent
But they do like being judges at the fishing derby
World : "Trump is a Fascist as far as we are concerned. He has become a Fascist. He used to be just a dumb prick. He is not just a dumb prick anymore. He is a Fascist."
1) Trump thinks all Palestinians are evil, which is fucked up.
2) Schumer should stop trying to be the "sane one" against this fucked up madness, and whip the entire Dem senate into voting against any and all measures of the spending bill.
The Felon believes everyone is evil or worthless unless he can grift from them or they have the same lack of values as himself! Long past time for Dems to get pissed & stay pissed until things change! Unprecedented times call for unprecedented action! Going high is what got us where we are today!
Schumer can’t help but be the sane one, he’s just not cut out for fighting and couldn’t pull it off credibly. Dems need to dump him and put someone like Murphy out front.
Re: point #1 - I'm wondering when the FTNYT is going to send its Cletus safari reporters to Dearborn to ask all of those single issue Trump voters about this.
So now people not only have to be the right type of patriot, and the right type of Christian...but now we have to be the right type of Jew. And as if there was something wrong and illegal for being Palestinian. But hey...MAGA are the freedom champs...right?🙄
"A Palestinian as far as I'm concerned"? He says it like it's an insult, so did they ask him what exactly he thinks is so bad about being a Palestinian?
Karl Lueger (1844-1910) was mayor of Vienna, and an outspoken antisemite. Asked to explain the fact that many of his friends were Jews, Lueger famously replied, "I decide who is a Jew."
It was today, but in June, he wasn't very sure 🙄 /s
“They don’t have the backing. Even Schumer, he’s become like a Palestinian. Chuck Schumer. Jewish. Always strong for Israel. He’s become like a Palestinian,” Trump said.
Took him quite a while to fully transition to Palestinian.
No doubt there are kids in school being transitioned to Palestinian in their lunch break ..... without the parents even knowing.
That'll be the reason for closing down the Dept of Education.
Honestly, I can't keep up.
It isn't a clue to anything other than the ageold nature of antisemitism. Find something you hate, blame Jews for it. As true on right as left. You fight it by treating everyone as human beings.
Yes. But here in the UK is just as common on the left in terms of separating "good" and "bad". The answer is to listen rather than pick those who suit one's political opinion. But I agree this is appallingly antisemitic.
This is who over 70 million fellow Americans voted for… twice! Let that sink in. It's time to make a choice. You can either do nothing and let them take it, or you can stand up and fight back.
I disagree.. After the debacle of his 1st term any eligible voter who did not vote, voted for him. They're as much to blame for this sh!tsshow as the ones wearing the red hats.
He's always got to come up with a name to call people just like he's out on the playground at his elementary school. 🙄
He's hoping one of his enemies can be called Anna just so he can call her Anna banana 🤣
Mr Trumps behavior on Fox News was not presidential. A real leader will make his point without name calling or insults.You are speaking to the world or at least whoever watch’s Fox. Act professional and tell the truth. Our children could be watching and I know you care about what they are learning.
Okay, sure.
Trump is a Russian as far as I'm concerned. He has become a Russian. He may have been American at some point, hard to tell. He's not American anymore.
He's a Russian.
Me: Trump is a very large arschloch, as far as I am concerned. He has become a very large arschloch. He used to be an asshole. He is not an asshole anymore. He is a very very large arschloch."
PrezNit Cheats At Golf is a fascist as far as I'm concerned. He has become a fascist. He used to try and be a narcissistic sociopath devoid of any sort of human empathy. But now he's a fascist.

Criticizing a far right, fascist government who practices colonialism = Antisemitic
Glad to know how far we've fallen as a people and still falling
As a side note, what’s with all these “sit-down chats” with the press? Is he too infirm to stand up for very long?
Just like pastors do.
openly he says "you are only what *I* say you are"
fuck him.

It will be interesting to see if ANYONE on the right steps up to Trump on this issue.
But I seriously doubt it. Spines are in short supply with those on the right.
And like with others, there are different interpretations, nothing is sacred, God doesn't exist or care, all its rules and requirements are a smokescreen.
Furthermore I don't think Trump is intelligent enough to take literally any of this into consideration.
See? It’s easy. And when you’re stupid they let you do it.
Trump, the antisemite, now will determine who is and isn’t a Jew apparently. I’m sure the media will normalize this shit too.
Just trying to stay consistent with whatever this admin is doing.
What's not nonsense though is that SCHUMER IS A FASCIST COLLABORATOR.
He has no religion or faith. He just uses them and they use him in return.
This is who conservatives are.
Who would have thought?
(Also, just acknowledging the absurdity of modern Nazis weaponizing accusations of antisemitism. This world is truly astonishing.)
There I fixed it.
This Nazi is telling a Jew he’s not a Jew???
I’m Jewish. The repulsive gall of this piece of shit just gets bigger every day.
25th Amendment!
Number 45 we read the bill this bill has more billions of dollars in cuts another Mike Johnson lie.
Keep on whining Number 45 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂.
QED
Condemning Israel's actions in Gaza is not anti-Semitism but Trumps words here are.
It's also not true that any criticism of Israel is called anti-semitic. Anyone is free to criticize any government without labeling its people one way or another. Same as I'd hope the world would not assume all Americans are like Trump.

Oh, by whom? 🙄
AOC challenge Schumer now!
So they habitually perpetuate it.
Their mission, paradigm, and focus are fubar.
Their metaphorical methods of political phishing, aside, they mostly just want us coming to the same fishing 🕳

That should be a clue as to what's happening here.
It's extremely common for gentiles on the right to call out "fake Jew", not something the left is nearly as cozy with.
But the majority didn't vote FOR him, don't forget that.
But somehow Trump didn’t inspire them enough to over come that laziness and actively vote FOR him.
I’ll take that as a positive and working motivating them in the future 😂
Chuck is reportedly whipping to pass the CR, so he's probably safe for now, but this is terrifying.
Keep it up Donald, you're gonna swing all democratic countries into full Free Palestine fighters.
