'I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released…' King wrote after Schumer shared a video of MLK.
Since Hamas’ deadly attack on Israel on October 7th, Israel has retaliated by incessantly bombing and killing Gazan civilians, while blocking much-needed aid from getting to the Gaza Strip. Celebrities have met this humanitarian crisis the way they often do: with an overblown perception of themselves as political thought leaders. Comedian Amy Schumer, in particular, has taken to social to share a torrent of information with her followers .
I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released… The “Triple Evils” King mentions are racism, poverty, and war. King continued her thread by sharing a clip of her father vocalizing his support of the United States pulling out of Vietnam, furthering her point that he was consistent in his beliefs against the abuses of colonial military power.
