247. "Palestinian" isn't a slur, but do we only care because it's linked to Trump's antisemitism?
from The UPstander's Podcast with Dr. Omekongo · host Dr. Omekongo Dibinga
Given that most Palestinians are Muslim, Trump has managed to be Islamophobic and antisemitic at the same time. It was #antisemitic to say that #chuckschumer is not Jewish and that goes back at least to Nazi Germany. The fact of the matter is that #trump has done this before. He called Biden a "bad Palestinian" during the debate and no one outside of the #freepalestine community seemed to care. Both aspects of what he did are problematic and both need to be called out. #upstander STAY CONNECTED: Instagram | http://www.instagram.com/omekongo Twitter | http://www.twitter.com/omekongo Facebook | http://www.facebook.com/omekongo Website | http://www.omekongo.com Learn more about your ad choices.
