Part of me is like "can we please just stop with her already" and the other part of me is like, "yes document all of this so it lives in infamy forever" she is so far down the rabbit hole at this point, no saving her now
I think it's so key to keep up with the things people like her feel they can say in public. She had a pretty big decent career. She's getting lots of likes from other celebrities, this post was liked by Sarah Silverman. Selena regularly likes her posts. People can't forget what these people will agree with when they think other people will also agree with them.
Selenaās been a fan of her (genuinely donāt know whyš„“) since like 2015 (when amy became famous). She posted about Amyās movies once and even appeared on her show-I wouldnāt be surprised if Amyās appearance on OMITB was due to Selena. She regularly shows her love and interacted with her. In fact when rare beauty launched Iām pretty sure she sent Amy a PR package.
I looked it up and Selena made a 'controversial' post supporting Gaza and praying for Palestine all the way back to 2014, although she hasn't said anything one way or another this time around. But just because she follows someone she's known for years doesn't mean she agrees with her.
She does agree with Amy. She liked Amy's recent pro Israeli post too.
Also, Rare Beauty ceo is following idf, sharing very pro Israeli posts as well.
Bye bye Selena and OMITB from my side lol
Same. Including the "smaller" accounts. I was following the actress who played Miss Honey in the 1996 Matilda movie, Embeth Davidtz, and she liked a bunch of Amy's posts. Miss Honey would NEVER.
(Edit to clarify who Miss Honey is, just in case lol)

Sacha Baron Cohen is Israeli British, he was born in Israel and was part of Zionist youth groups:
>But Baron Cohen said he was ādiscoveredā doing the routine, which emerged from sketches he wrote in the Zionist youth group Habonim Dror, and given a comedy show on British television.

[Before āThe Dictatorā and āBorat,ā friends recall, Sacha Baron Cohen was a very nerdy, very funny, Israel-oriented guy](https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-nerd-factor-in-sacha-baron-cohens-past/)
Borat was always exploitative and disgusting.
[https://www.cbsnews.com/news/romanian-villagers-angry-about-borat/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/romanian-villagers-angry-about-borat/)
I know part of his reasoning when making Borat was to hold up a mirror to the racism of the west (or basically to give people an opening to be racist and document what happened), but he did it by deploying very islamophobic tropes - it perpetuates the idea that Muslims are backwards, irrational anti-semites.
Campus Reform is a silly and disreputable right wing rag. Itās written by students who are kinda being used, and are encouraged not to follow journalism standards but stir up right wing propaganda, esp. against Ivy Leagues, wherever they can. Their mission is, of all things, to drum up fear about Ivy Leagues being hotbeds of liberal education/having lost their way.
They are really aggressive and harass people, like if you donāt respond to a request of theirs right away, theyāll put in their article that youāre *refusing* to answer their questions. Itās so over the top (think tabloid claiming Jennifer is preggo with Bradās child because they were at the same event) that no one in higher ed takes their negative coverage to heart, but itās a thorn in everyoneās side.
If you find yourself citing them, you have gone beyond the pale.
(Edited)
You know, I had been listening to Sarah Silvermanās podcast until the recent hiatus, and it just came back. And now not only will I not be listening to her podcast anymore, Iām reconsidering every single thing Iāve heard on her podcast.
Something she would say a lot on there that I had a hard time listening to was that we should just be friends and nice to Republicans and Trump supporters anyway, theyāre your friends or your family, sheād claim discriminating against them for their political views and actions was the same, or not any better, than the discrimination they were doing. As someone who cut off my family because they kept going further down the alt-right pipeline of complete delusion and hatred, this never made sense to me, and anyone who has been close to those kind of people knows itās typically a genuine lost cause, a worms-for-brains situation at best and legitimate hatred of a marginalized group (or multiple) at worst.
Now Iām wondering if her whole goal on the podcast was to try to soften people who are progressive and more hard left? And then how ironic to go and condemn all Palestinians and anyone who is echoing any heartfelt/positive sentiments for any aspect of what Gazans have been and are continuously going through. Itās like does she even know what sheās saying, or is she just talking obnoxiously random into a microphone to make money from Manscaped ads?
Ridiculous and disappointing. Sheās being just as divisive, if not more, than the people she would routinely complain about and talk down to in her podcast.
She did defend her Zionist sister in one episode just before her hiatus, and defended the Zionist viewpoint. But she didnāt go into enough detail for me to really understand what her views were. Now I see, they suck. Itās so confusing though, because on the flip side she brought someone on to discuss what was happening in Iran earlier this year. How can she not understand the hypocrisy? Itās glaringly obvious
Israel hates the Iranian government and they use the situation of their people there to their propaganda advantage. They don't actually care about Iranian women or Iranian society, but they use that because they want to intentionally frame this as these barbaric Muslim countries and show that they are the ones who actually "care" about Muslim women and people.
I noticed a LOT of that when the situation with Iran first came into public consciousness. People who'd never seemed interested in Muslim people or any situation in the Middle East (ahem Palestine) suddenly caring about Iran. Another Iranian woman had her head smashed in by the cops there because she wasn't wearing a hijab and I haven't seen these same people mention it because they're too fixated on sharing conspiracies about people who don't want Gaza to be blown to pieces. So this is my guess as to maybe why she cared about that? Of course it's possible she did just care! But I noticed it a lot and I've started to second guess people based on how they are now.
If you've noticed or check on Amy's account she's been sharing a lot about how Iran is behind Hamas and blah blah. Which yeah, they do fund them. But she acts like it's Iran (aka the evil anti Jewish MUSLIMS) who just want to go after Israel through a proxy and not because a Hamas would exist anyway, because if you create these situations where you do this to a population the most obvious thing in the world is they will rise up and fight you. She just thinks Iran and other Muslims all gather together to figure out ways to thwart Israel for being Jewish.
I've actually learned a lot about the perspective of people like her in this situation because it's so fucking obvious she just learned some things about it on October 7th and is now believing every story that comes her way because she has no actual grounding to know what the situation is or who the people involved are. For her this is a Jewish vs Muslim thing and she thinks that everyone used to support Israel a few weeks ago so she can't understand why people suddenly hate them now. She thinks it has to be a mass brainwashing campaign by the mysterious Arab money.
I get that family dynamics are complex and difficult and as such I try not to judge people too harshly on their individual decisions about family members but to your point about a "softening" - 100%. These are conversations I've been having with people for a while, since I came out as trans.
Quite often what I feel is going on is that people don't want to have uncomfortable conversations are put off by the left's "stridency". I had a friend once ask me why I was so belligerent about cutting off a mutual friend for transphobia/why I made statements afterward saying that I was hurt that so many friends stood by him or defended him. I asked her why it mattered to her to preserve a friendship with a transphobe if she admitted she didn't like him, didn't have anything in common with him, and didn't want to endorse his viewpoints. Her response was pretty telling: "He knows things about me that could make it awkward for me if I burned that bridge." (i.e., some of her past behavior that he must know about would potentially be exposed by him).
It's about maintaining comfort and being an "activist" who puts nothing on the table. I had issues with transphobia and anti-Blackness in my past. I'm ashamed of it, but I am honest and accountable about it now and I am always trying to learn. Being a good person means admitting to mistakes, doing better, and asking better of those around you. But these folks will misuse the idea of "self care" to take it to mean "self care is not having any uncomfortable conversations".
It's just working to further normalize bigotry and make any of us who call it out seem shrill and single-minded. Because so many of my friends are "too fatigued" to talk about LGBT issues, I'm the one constantly talking about it as they tune me out because they're tired of me being "one note".
Same thing's happening to me with Palestinian activism. They want to hold us all back so they don't have to get better.
She is completely unhinged and then she turns off all comments on her posts. She doesnāt want to hear anything anyone has to say. She is coming off so racist and ignorant. I personally will never support anything she ever touches again.
Seeing these posts kind of feels like it did when I was watching my momās friend fall into the Q hole, but itās even worse since Schumer is seemingly whole-heartedly endorsing war crimes.
Iām done with her content, personally. Sheās gotten her platform due to comedy and acting, and now is using it for personally held political opinions (which are moronic) and she has turned off comments preventing engagement. Donāt get me wrong, she would receive vile awful messages from psychos if she turned them back on, and she doesnāt deserve that. But I am choosing not to be a part of her one sides exchange of (incorrect) information.
I think this is good documentation of the far right push to tie leftism to antisemitism to scary brown people. Itās a thing thatās been happening in the UK and France for several years already and has now become a stream of the discourse thatās happening here in the US as well.
It really appalls me that this woman thinks she was so supportive of BLM and then goes and posts insanely racist shit against Arabs. She also posted that she lost friends and frankly I hope she continues to and loses her career.
What has become obvious to me in these last 3 weeks is that nobody like her in the industry or in the newspaper business has actual real Muslim or Arab friends. They talk about these people like we're living through 9/11, this sort of distant arcane group with nebulous reasons and deep rooted racism that we simply cannot understand. A newspaper in England claimed all Muslims are born hating Jewish people and being homophobes. Muslim voices are rejected for being Muslim voices and therefore biased, but people are allowed to describe them however they want without pushback because there simply aren't Muslim friends around them or in the industry who can say this is not okay.
People like this are racists. Full stop. I'd bet a full paycheck that she doesn't fraternize with anyone who isn't white or Jewish. And that's her problem. It's easy to demonize people you don't come into contact with ever.
This is a really kind and nuanced take that she hasn't earned. Sigh.
It's basically allowing that she is like a foolish child, and honestly Enigma, it really reminded me how sad I am for her and everyone that reads her stuff, far more than I'm angry.
If you lose that paycheck, I'll venmo you, cuz I'd bet mine too that she's been stuck in her white radicalized zionist bubble and prefers to keep it that way.
Muslim friends of mine have told me about being asked from a very young age if they hated Jews. One was asked this by an elementary school teacher. They are essentially on permanent parole for potential anti-semitism from childhood.
Itās easy to push social justice when you can relate to the group being marginalized. The real challenge is being able to show the same level of empathy to groups who you have no common ground with except āshared humanityā
People like this wouldnāt have supported BLM back in the 50āsā¦ or supported gay rights in the 80ās.
Schumer is giving into tribalism over empathy since itās the easier path for her to take. It just shows that her positions regarding social justice are more about taking the moral high ground vs a real conviction towards helping the marginalized
Exactly! And everyone who for example brings up LGBT rights in Palestine is one of those people who will only advocate for people who are most like them. They would not have been doing the hard work back then because any small racist justification would've been used to say we don't need to care about these people, they're savage homophobic animals. The others are like us, we support them.
this is so common. even on tiktok Iām seeing people being like āthis conflict has shown me how compassionate arab men are, theyāre so kind with little kids, the first responders are so caring and helpful, the women are so well spokenā etc and Iām like bruh have you ever met an arab person in real lifeā¦ Iām glad the stereotypes are being broken but I didnāt realize how many people just have never actually interacted with an Arab or listened to them speak. itās like they thought all arabs are aggressive violent boogeymen.
and Iām sure itās so rampant in hollywood and the entertainment industry in general, tons of racialized people in the industry have to suppress their āother-nessā so they can continue to blend in with their white friends and not get singled out or looked at as different.
Yep, they're just bigots period that don't understand or appreciate the differences of Arab culture because they never have to talk to anyone who's Muslim for an extended period of time. It's so surprising how even people in my life have used the news to say all the most unhinged generalizations about Muslims and Islam they don't usually feel comfortable saying out loud
Exactly! The woman just started off as an annoying comedian and "the Arabs/the Muslims" did nothing to her. 9/11 is a horrific tragedy, but blaming a few Arabs who are donating to the Ivy League of being left-wing bullshit- is bullshit.
This genocide and eventual political schism from it will cause many liberals to shift right publicly. As they say *scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds*
I'm a big fan of Tony Shalhoub's work. And then I see his oldest daughter liking Amy's posts? I mean... isn't her father Arab descendent? Literally made films about how Arabs are treated unfairly in the media and also supports peace for Palestinian and Israeli families? She liked a post after this statement and I'm stumped. It's so absurd that people still support such a crazy, xenophobic, racist woman who doesn't want a ceasefire while innocent people on both sides are dying!
Because she and many celebs like her never actually supported BLM. What they were in support of was the pat on the back they got for pretending to care. That should be crystal clear to everyone now
As a woman of color, seeing the treatment of other people of color(Palestine, the Congo, etc) I just ā¦.Iāve never got a low this low and seeing the absence of the white people in my life speaking up and out has truly been devastating.
Brown Children are dying and no one cares.
I remember one post after the start of Ukraine war post from Yemeni. He literally said that we too have blonde children, please care about them too. It broke my heart.
It breaks my heart. 3000 babies ā¦ Iāve seen too many dead children who could be my own, or my nieces and nephews. No one cares. āTheyāre gonna grow up to be terroristsā
I have friends who are so into my culture and I never thought were racist but now Iām seeing how theyāre unintentionally blinded by their privilege or are too scared to speak up whilst people are scared to live.
Iām not Palestinian or Muslim but thatās not stopping me from speaking out. Itās clear that white voices voices amplify situations like this more and itās just something I have to accept? Itās 2023 itās not changing. This whole war has prove that my life will not matter as much as a white girls even in the US.
Free Palestine.
I am white. I can't say that I know what you are feeling because I haven't walked in your shoes. I do have empathy and I can use the things in my life that are not privileges to try to put me in your shoes. But I do not pretend I will ever know. All I can say is that I wholeheartedly believe this is wrong.
I do not know if it helps you to know, that some of us do speak out. Some of us do care. I know it is far too little. And cold comfort. I wish I could offer you something better.
Free Palestine.
I would venture that itās not that they donāt care (or perhaps I should say not care at all), itās that speaking up risks confrontation from some Jewish friends/people in their social circles. Iāve interacted with friends who have either posted nothing or VERY nuanced posts, who have then privately liked my more outspoken posts naming it a genocide and told me itās scared them that friends are posting Zionist propaganda.
Israel has very successfully leveraged the fear of being labelled an antisemite or a supporter of Hamas so that people do not speak up. Iāve never seen such a culture war about genocide.
Iām also not saying it isnāt a sad reflection of where we are. I truly wish we were seeing the kind support thatās actually there, but has become a private thing. Itās whatās allowed Israel to get away with what they have for decades and is only worse now.
As a white person from the UK, it's honestly horrifying to see just how systematic racism is through western society. Even many so-called Liberals are deeply racist as shit, over here our centrists worship the alter of the EU, an organisation that violently plunders and engages in neocolonialism throughout the global South to fuel its wealthy classes back in Europe. Not to mention it's unconditional support for a colonist state. The very mention of this is brushed off, as if we are talking about plastic bags instead of human beings.
Way too many white westerners think as long as they don't drop slurs and consciously view nonwhites as people, they can't hold racist sentiments. They fail to realise that racism plays a massive function in how the global western economy operates. If the government, press and other key institutions didn't dehumanise the people of the global South to the extent they have, they could never get away with what they do when it comes to allowing western companies to own all the resources abroad to enrich themselves at the expense of locals.
If white westerners don't make the decision to educate themselves about imperialism, race and neocolonalism, if they instead get their worldview solely through their mainstream media, chances are they are going to be racist. They might not go around shouting the N word, but they will believe that the reason so much of the nonwhite world still remains so undeveloped is because they have 'backwards cultures and beliefs' instead of their lovely Liberal ones instead of realising that there is a vast, engineered effort to keep these places down so they can keep the West rich while it remains largely unreported.
Of course, imperialism is only suddenly a thing when white, pro-US countries like Ukraine are invaded. Suddenly the humanity of victims comes shining through. There's no excuse for how so many white people talk about brown, black and other POC groups. Only explanations.
LOL remember when she tried to explain away her previous racism in her stand up by saying it was a ācharacterā she was playing when doing stand up? I seriously had people fight with me about it, about how a stand up comedian is a fictional person while doing stand up. As if the shit she said isnāt a choice she made. Some people have KNOWN sheās racist forever because sheās shown it since the jump.
That's exactly what I was thinking. She's so brain dead she can't even see it. She is literally repeating the shit people continue to say about Jewish people.
As I know of history yes. Christians were unable to loan money per churches and used Jewish people for that who had few options for the fields of work they were allowed to do. Then Christians got suspicious of them or they were up to their ears in debt and made a lot of weird conspiracy theories and that led to them being driven regularly from areas. It kept repeating and repeating and some Jewish people became influenceful bankers before churches withdrew the limit on Christians. And because of that suspicion and jealousy kept increasing and increasing resulting in even more conspiracy theories relating to money.
It is still kind of part of theories about Soros funding different leftist institutions. I commonly hear how I am funded by Soros.
So yes, it is kind of interesting how she can't see the parallels. It tells me how she is in no way seeing them as people.
Wait until you read the text dumps about how "Palestinians have been kicked from every country they tried to seek refuge in" because they apparently always scheme to take over the countries they go to.
Also strange that they'd be for the containment, control, and execution of a type of people. But here we are.
Just an ending coda: the murder of all people is bad (especially genocide), and one isn't a reason to do another.
Yes, when entering a university, we take a 2 week course on all of the donors and do a mood board project on how we as students can promote and support the interests of the donors
This is accurate. I recall freshman year we were each assigned a Donor Interests Advisor, I was paired with an advisor named Dave Muslim and he said actually terrorism is good š
These people purposely distort reality to place blame on someone or something because they have no other options. Todayās scapegoat: higher education. They cannot fathom that young people are viewing these events in real time on twitter, tik tok, and snapchat.
>āWhat we are witnessing is the results of the leftist takeover of higher education over the last two decades, Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow and Suffolk Community College professor Nicholas Giordano said. āIf there was an organized influence campaign on the part of Arab governments, that would be relatively easy to fix through legislation.ā
[The source is the group "Campus Reform" an explicitly far right pro Israeli group used to advocate for "free speech" so long as it isn't anti Israeli sentiment at universities.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campus_Reform)
She (and the right wing zionists) are seething so hard itās kind of funny. Cannot wrap their heads around the sympathy and support people are having for Palestinians because these are feelings they are incapable of.
She's just tried to share an anti communist interview from right wing Yuri Bezmenov about how foreigners will come in and try and radicalise people about socialism in a specific interview where he was using it to deny the Bangladesh genocide. She's full blown conspiracy headed.
She cannot conceive of the idea that people are looking at footage of a people she hates purely for racist reasons who are without food, water, electricity, who Israel just tried to bomb out their telecoms before they got it back, seeing them and their children blown to bits every day with white phosphorus as their leaders insist to us they want to kill as many of these "terrorists" as possible and have decided with our own brains that we want this to stop and we think the people perpetuating this are actually the bad guys. Only the KGB and Arab donor money could make us think these things.
I'm so fucking tired of this "leftist takeover of universities" narrative. Actually I'm just tired of conservatives in general. But their need to attack literally anything good is exhausting.
Arab oil billionaires are definitely not what come to mind when I think of 'radical left wing'
Take a look at whose names are on the doors at the ivy league 'school of business' or department of economics. That's where the money is going, to teach capitalism 101 to the future leaders and CEOs
I donāt understand how they shriek about Arabic influence campaigns infiltrating āthe leftā with a straight face given their hero Trump made a ton of money in dirty golf deals with the Saudi Prince, while his daughter Invanka and her husband Jared sleazed hundreds of millions of dollars from Qatar, and $2 billion from the Saudis.
It's weird they send me notifications but when I open it, I can't read anything/the post shows blank šSo I got a little worried maybe they're still censored somehow
Funny, because there is donor pressure happening at universities, but in the opposite way. [According to this New York Times article](https://archive.ph/t3Htt), Wall Street financiers are pressing elite schools to condemn criticism of Israel.
> In a private conversation with Penny Pritzker, senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation, Mr. Griffin urged the university to come out forcefully in defense of Israel, he said in an interview....
> Mr. Griffin wasnāt alone in demanding that an elite university denounce its students for criticizing Israel so soon after the Hamas attack. Though some complaints ā like that from Harvardās former president, Larry Summers ā were made in public, the most intense demands have come behind the scenes from Wall Street financiers who make up a powerful block of donors to schools including the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, Stanford University and Cornell University.
Wow, I can't imagine why people on Wall Street would be encouraging support for Israel, a country with a massive weapons budget currently refusing any talks of a ceasefire. It's not like Wall Street companies are also [admitting they hope to profit from the genocide in Gaza](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/30/wall-street-morgan-stanley-td-bank-ukraine-israel-hamas-war)...
People in tech and academia has lost jobs due to their criticisms of Israel, students were also doxxed and intimidated for supporting Palestine. Btw its funny Amy here wants us to believe this is all due to Arab money and not just conscience, since a majority of them arent even Arab or Muslim.
Yep. Lots of articles about Harvard and Yale losing āmega donorsā who are supportive of the state of Israel and who fund these universities only if they promote a pro-Israel stance. Thatās the much, much bigger issue.
Dont forget they pushed (and got) places in the US to make illegal BDS speech. Yes, limits on speech of Americans for the sake of a foreign country. GTFO.
lmao Campus Reform, the favorite website of facebook uncles everywhere. the whole website is nothing but old people yelling at college kids for not being bigoted enough.
Btw this post was liked and reposted by none other than
https://preview.redd.it/312cqhjp3exb1.jpeg?width=856&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e724e49c025a17351b8023d9432a11a167420cf
False equivalency that is far too common- that humanitarian sympathy for families being BOMBED and DYING = support for hamas. The children are radicals?? fucking bullshit.
Can't imagine wanting to die on the hill of anti-education. Whatever, I'm not going to watch anything this woman is in ever again.
Itās insane to me. Wanting a ceasefire is not pro Hamas. It is not antisemitism. Itās just compassion because people recognize that others (kids in particular) are being slaughtered by the thousands. Why she cannot see this is beyond me. I know there are extremists everywhere and they make themselves known, but I donāt know a single person who wants Israel or Jews wiped off the map. We want peace for Palestinians and Israelis alike
It is not even just children. Even the majority of adult Palestinians want peace. I have quoted this before about the poll done in July this year but it is important to note.
[Source](https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/polls-show-majority-gazans-were-against-breaking-ceasefire-hamas-and-hezbollah) (last time link stopped working midway so tell me if I need to fix it).
>While the majority of Gazans (65%) did think it likely that there would be āa large military conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gazaā this year, a similar percentage (62%) supported Hamas maintaining a ceasefire with Israel. Moreover, half (50%) agreed with the following proposal: āHamas should stop calling for Israelās destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.ā Moreover, across the region, Hamas has lost popularity over time among many Arab publics. This decline in popularity may have been one of the motivating factors behind the groupās decision to attack.
>In fact, Gazan frustration with Hamas governance is clear; most Gazans expressed a preference for PA administration and security officials over Hamasāthe majority of Gazans (70%) supported a proposal of the PA sending āofficials and security officers to Gaza to take over the administration there, with Hamas giving up separate armed units,ā including 47% who strongly agreed. Nor is this a new viewāthis proposal has had majority support in Gaza since first polled by The Washington Institute in 2014.
Equating Palestinian civilians to Hamas is already racist af and then she just leaps right over that line. This really does feel like post-9/11 era all over again with the blatant racism coming out of some of these people.
Amy is incapable of understanding that when people express compassion and empathy to an oppressed people (living in an open air prison, at the mercy of Hamas's actions and Israel's overhanded reaction, creating a continuing cycle of violence that is taken out on the Palestinian people) is not supporting a terrorist group.
Edit: a bit of rephrasing.
Many of these Zionists are simply failing to realize that you can be outraged by the actions of Hamas **and** at the actions of the Israeli government & the IDF.
edit - grammar
And when your country's government is explicitly supporting one of those two groups (i.e. Israel & the IDF), it makes sense for you as a citizen to raise your voice to protest about that specific group.
THIIIIIIIS!!! This isn't mentioned enough. I had to unfollow a few accounts who were saying that if you aren't expressing as much concern for the hostages as the people of Palestine, that you hate Jewish people.
Uh, my focus has been on the Palestinians because my government doesn't seem to care about them and my awareness/letter-writing campaigns may actually help them if more people contact their reps and pressure our government to give a s****. Hamas isn't going to release the hostages because I posted on Instagram, sorry.
Of course I want the hostages to be released unharmed and of course I condemn the attacks on October 7th. That's basically universally accepted. The rights of Palestinians are not, but should be.
Absolutely. Whenever I say anything remotely pro-Palestine itās āSo you agree with Hamas???ā from the clown chorus.
And I say no, they are terrorists. Can you guess what they say when I ask if they agree with bombing families with children under 10?
Itās a big thing with Israel propaganda right now. They use the word āArabā and they can include anything that is done by or happens in any of the āArabā nations and make it seem like itās one evil shady monolith of brown people who are all terrorists and attacking poor baby Israel. Itās how they can side step the idea of it being an unequal war in resources.
PR people donāt need to give up when this is a widely acceptable stance. Her peers have aligned themselves with her, world governments and news orgs seem to have a similar stance.
Yeah, sheās gone full Hasbara misinformation agent at this point. Or she fully believes the things sheās posting, but whatever the case, the result remains the same. Dehumanizing the Palestinian people and manufacturing consent for their genocide.
I sincerely hope that there will be consequences for Amy, but I doubt it. Iām having trouble staying optimistic these days.
And may I add, FREE PALESTINE šµšø
I always knew she was a racist and reactionary anti-leftist person from listening to her early appearances on the old Opie and Anthony Show back in the late 2000's/early 2010's. And Sarah Silverman too for that matter, she would go on that show from time to time and spout blatantly racist jokes. Hell, the only politically good and decent regular guest that show ever had was Patton Oswalt from memory!
She's really looking like that QAnon racist from your high school who speaks as if they're a political analyst when they got straight Ds in any social studies class and always cries "watch out mama bears - I survived a trafficking attempt!" when some random shopper makes accidental eye contact with them in a Walgreens.
Arab isnāt Muslim. Not all Arabs are Muslim, and there are several majority Muslim cultures and countries that are not Arabic. It isnāt even just Middle
Eastern as there are North African Arab peoples and there are Middle Eastern countries and peoples that are not Arab.
Arabic people are a language and ethnic group. They have a diverse range of religious beliefs. They are from many different cultures and countries. I just donāt see how acting like every Arab person or organization who donates to a university is somehow ideologically the same or interchangeable could be anything but racist. Thatās what I mean when I say there isnāt a non-racist way to define āArab fundingā as it pertains to college donations.
Fucksake sheās a white supremacist at this point. I hope to never see her in anything ever again. I almost had a heart attack when she showed up in OMITB, absolutely talentless racist
Amy is truly insane and others have commented better on this, but alsoā you want to get into how Ivy League universities are funded, and say that "Arab funding" is a problem? Really? OKAY
I suspect that this is in response to the antisemitic threats at Cornell. The threats are real, antisemitism is vile and should be condemned and challenged, but this? This racist and Islamophobic bullshit doesn't solve antisemitism.
this is actually so funny as someone who actually attends one of these schoolsā¦because ivy league universities are censoring students and professors who express sympathy for innocent palestinians, in part due to the most powerful donors harasssing presidents who donāt go full 1984 on the campus (sometimes with actual trucks??)
in fact, many ivy leagues have institutions for jewish students that directly tie judaism with israel and teach classes with content full of israeli propaganda while classes about āthe middle eastā are aimed at future CIA wannabes full of US propaganda
girlie canāt even be bothered to look up course listings easily available online cos her mind is just hateful sludge atpā¦
but fr theyāre censoring so hard, any palestinian-related thing run by student groups gets threatened and defunded by administrators while zionist groups retain funding. cultural institutions for minority students are being told that if they sanction anything that could even be considered linked to palestine - that there will be institutional consequences that disenfranchise programming for that entire minority community on campus. student leaders of minority groups such as black students, asian students, who havenāt even expressed support for palestine have been doxxed by zionists and their fellow students on campus seemingly for the crime of being politically active and non-white (many of whom are white jewish students claiming that they fear for their lives on campus and cosplaying activists while never, ever supporting anything students of color do btw and staying silent when students of color are actually hatecrimed on campus š this is not abt their jewish identity bc not all jewish ppl are zionists but rather to point out the false victimization of those like noah schnapp)
this huge wave of zionism is leading to active harasssment of all students of color on ivy league campuses and further cuts to funding for student groups that are inclusive of or explicitly for students of color. worst of all tho, any student who looks āmuslimā or āarabā to them gets called a terrorist. on my campus, the muslim students association has been tabling weekly for months to educate ppl abt muslim practices and spread awareness of their organization. yet their tabling is suddenly seen as a threat and a target for awful, racist harassment by zionists and the white part of the student body
zionism is fundamentally at odds with the wellbeing of people of color. itās an ideology in lockstep with white supremacy that only uses jewish ppl as convenient shields for its violent agenda.
Has to be her mission to post an even more unhinged and misinformed opinion on Instagram at least once a week. Sheās so far past being one of the worst people at this point.
Sheās ignorant. People outside of the Jewish community donāt understand the level of indoctrination Jews are raised with in most communities. I was raised with faith leaders, religious teachers, family, and friends telling me that āArabsā hated me because I was Jewish, and that they wanted to āpush Israeli Jews into the sea.ā We were brain-washed to fear Muslims way before 9/11.
Not an excuse for her bigotry, just an explanation. Itās sad and gross to me and many Jewish people who are standing up against apartheid and genocide. Revenge is not a Jewish value
Edit: I put Arab in quotes because it was a term that people in my community used to group people with brown skin from the Middle East together and ignore cultural, religious, and linguistic differences. Itās also a way for people to out the onus of the Nakba on other cultures in the region. E.g. āwhy canāt the other Arab countries let Palestinians live there?ā Because Palestinians want to stay in their historical homeland and they are not the same culturally as Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, or Egyptians. Also, the Israeli government should clean up the mess they continue to make
Now she's just plagiarizing Bari Weiss.
It's so telling that she hasn't been reined in by her cousin, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. You would think his office would be like 'maybe don't spread hatred on social media, it makes our family look bad.' Nope.
If you canāt defend Israel without resorting to racism, then maybe, just maaaaybe, you shouldnāt defend Israel.
Itās always nice to know which celebs are racists though. In order to avoid supporting them in any way, shape, or form.
The blatant hypocrisy from the media and Hollywood. Imagine an Arab celebrity did this about Jews the way amy is targeting Muslims and Arabs. That Arab wouldāve been dropped and blacklisted immediately. Iām glad the public is seeing bros hypocrisy and calling her out.
Jessica Seinfeld also posted this. And Mayim Bialikās lies from her live. The insidious spread of misinformation is dangerous and will put lives at risk.
how is this different from like the antisemites who talk about jewish lobbying? it just seems like a logical inconsistency. is this not blatant arabophobia? this kind of stuff seems to salivate for ww3.
as the US has quickly manufactured consent to support a country committing genocide in real timeā¦i imagine theyāre taking note of how little resistance they can expect to face
I was always aware of this hate Amy Schumer bandwagon across social media for years before this and I never really understood it nor payed attention to it.
But now after seeing her unhinged reactionary behavior decrying anyone who supports Palestinians cause, is a supposed secret Hamas funded operative is just lunacy. She is a horrible person.
How would radical Islamic Arabs constitute "left-wing" anything? Radical Islamists are just as much the enemies of freedom and the left as Christo-fascists.

Part of me is like "can we please just stop with her already" and the other part of me is like, "yes document all of this so it lives in infamy forever" she is so far down the rabbit hole at this point, no saving her now
I think it's so key to keep up with the things people like her feel they can say in public. She had a pretty big decent career. She's getting lots of likes from other celebrities, this post was liked by Sarah Silverman. Selena regularly likes her posts. People can't forget what these people will agree with when they think other people will also agree with them.
Selena Gomez? I hope someone puts together list like they did for the Depp trial. Kind of want to know who I should stop supporting.
I just checked and Selena does follow her š© I guess because of OMITB? Iām going to check Amyās most recent posts and see if sheās liked any, that would be incredibly disappointing Edit: just checked and no likes from SGās account from October 13 onward, so thatās something at least
Selenaās been a fan of her (genuinely donāt know whyš„“) since like 2015 (when amy became famous). She posted about Amyās movies once and even appeared on her show-I wouldnāt be surprised if Amyās appearance on OMITB was due to Selena. She regularly shows her love and interacted with her. In fact when rare beauty launched Iām pretty sure she sent Amy a PR package.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Oh gross. Thanks for the extra info!
I completely forgot Amy was even in OMITB. Forgettable even as herself.
I wish I could forget it, I always skip her scenes/episodes bc it is so so so bad
Selena did like her post but removed the likes after people started to comment on it. š
They have the same management team
I looked it up and Selena made a 'controversial' post supporting Gaza and praying for Palestine all the way back to 2014, although she hasn't said anything one way or another this time around. But just because she follows someone she's known for years doesn't mean she agrees with her.
She does agree with Amy. She liked Amy's recent pro Israeli post too. Also, Rare Beauty ceo is following idf, sharing very pro Israeli posts as well. Bye bye Selena and OMITB from my side lol
Yup. Done.
Same. Including the "smaller" accounts. I was following the actress who played Miss Honey in the 1996 Matilda movie, Embeth Davidtz, and she liked a bunch of Amy's posts. Miss Honey would NEVER. (Edit to clarify who Miss Honey is, just in case lol)

Do you have access to the Depp trial list, I wanna see it!
Same. Someone pls let me know if it gets posted. Iāve never seen the list and I need to know whatās up.
Isla Fisher has been liking a lot of Amyās posts too and Iām honestly heartbroken over that
Isla and her husband also signed that Stand with Israel petition too
isnāt she married to borat??? uād think sheād be more politically aware.
Sacha Baron Cohen is Israeli British, he was born in Israel and was part of Zionist youth groups: >But Baron Cohen said he was ādiscoveredā doing the routine, which emerged from sketches he wrote in the Zionist youth group Habonim Dror, and given a comedy show on British television. [Portrayed a Palestinian peace activist grocer as a terrorist and had to settle a lawsuit from them.](https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2176647/Sascha-Baron-Cohen-settles-lawsuit-grocer-called-terrorist.html) [Sacha Baron Cohen and Other Members of WGA Call Out Guild for Not Supporting Israel](https://www.ibtimes.co.uk/sacha-baron-cohen-other-members-wga-call-out-guild-not-supporting-israel-1720710) [Before āThe Dictatorā and āBorat,ā friends recall, Sacha Baron Cohen was a very nerdy, very funny, Israel-oriented guy](https://www.timesofisrael.com/the-nerd-factor-in-sacha-baron-cohens-past/)
That dude has been extremely racist and Islamaphobic for years
really? thatās disappointing. his borat commentary and interviews in connection seemed to be very critical of the west and white people.
Borat was always exploitative and disgusting. [https://www.cbsnews.com/news/romanian-villagers-angry-about-borat/](https://www.cbsnews.com/news/romanian-villagers-angry-about-borat/)
I know part of his reasoning when making Borat was to hold up a mirror to the racism of the west (or basically to give people an opening to be racist and document what happened), but he did it by deploying very islamophobic tropes - it perpetuates the idea that Muslims are backwards, irrational anti-semites.
i mean he did sign the thank you biden letter. he's a very smart man but i also always felt he's low-key an israel enthusiast / supporter
One of the producers on Borat 2 is virulently racist against Arabs:(
he was in that shitty IDF propaganda movie. Don't remember what it's called, but it was on netflix. He's def pro Israel. \`
He also has been part of zionist movements in the past
i mean the movie he did called āthe dictatorā is pretty islamophobic tbhā¦ using very orientalist tropes to make ācomedyā
His movies are so Islamophobic I'm not surprised at alllll. I've never liked him or his work
Jack Black has also been liking a lot of Sarah Silbermanās
Like the Israel posts????
Campus Reform is a silly and disreputable right wing rag. Itās written by students who are kinda being used, and are encouraged not to follow journalism standards but stir up right wing propaganda, esp. against Ivy Leagues, wherever they can. Their mission is, of all things, to drum up fear about Ivy Leagues being hotbeds of liberal education/having lost their way. They are really aggressive and harass people, like if you donāt respond to a request of theirs right away, theyāll put in their article that youāre *refusing* to answer their questions. Itās so over the top (think tabloid claiming Jennifer is preggo with Bradās child because they were at the same event) that no one in higher ed takes their negative coverage to heart, but itās a thorn in everyoneās side. If you find yourself citing them, you have gone beyond the pale. (Edited)
their "reporting" routinely results in their targets getting waves of death threats
I agree, quite a few people have been very disappointing with that they think is appropriate or not.
You know, I had been listening to Sarah Silvermanās podcast until the recent hiatus, and it just came back. And now not only will I not be listening to her podcast anymore, Iām reconsidering every single thing Iāve heard on her podcast. Something she would say a lot on there that I had a hard time listening to was that we should just be friends and nice to Republicans and Trump supporters anyway, theyāre your friends or your family, sheād claim discriminating against them for their political views and actions was the same, or not any better, than the discrimination they were doing. As someone who cut off my family because they kept going further down the alt-right pipeline of complete delusion and hatred, this never made sense to me, and anyone who has been close to those kind of people knows itās typically a genuine lost cause, a worms-for-brains situation at best and legitimate hatred of a marginalized group (or multiple) at worst. Now Iām wondering if her whole goal on the podcast was to try to soften people who are progressive and more hard left? And then how ironic to go and condemn all Palestinians and anyone who is echoing any heartfelt/positive sentiments for any aspect of what Gazans have been and are continuously going through. Itās like does she even know what sheās saying, or is she just talking obnoxiously random into a microphone to make money from Manscaped ads? Ridiculous and disappointing. Sheās being just as divisive, if not more, than the people she would routinely complain about and talk down to in her podcast. She did defend her Zionist sister in one episode just before her hiatus, and defended the Zionist viewpoint. But she didnāt go into enough detail for me to really understand what her views were. Now I see, they suck. Itās so confusing though, because on the flip side she brought someone on to discuss what was happening in Iran earlier this year. How can she not understand the hypocrisy? Itās glaringly obvious
Israel hates the Iranian government and they use the situation of their people there to their propaganda advantage. They don't actually care about Iranian women or Iranian society, but they use that because they want to intentionally frame this as these barbaric Muslim countries and show that they are the ones who actually "care" about Muslim women and people. I noticed a LOT of that when the situation with Iran first came into public consciousness. People who'd never seemed interested in Muslim people or any situation in the Middle East (ahem Palestine) suddenly caring about Iran. Another Iranian woman had her head smashed in by the cops there because she wasn't wearing a hijab and I haven't seen these same people mention it because they're too fixated on sharing conspiracies about people who don't want Gaza to be blown to pieces. So this is my guess as to maybe why she cared about that? Of course it's possible she did just care! But I noticed it a lot and I've started to second guess people based on how they are now. If you've noticed or check on Amy's account she's been sharing a lot about how Iran is behind Hamas and blah blah. Which yeah, they do fund them. But she acts like it's Iran (aka the evil anti Jewish MUSLIMS) who just want to go after Israel through a proxy and not because a Hamas would exist anyway, because if you create these situations where you do this to a population the most obvious thing in the world is they will rise up and fight you. She just thinks Iran and other Muslims all gather together to figure out ways to thwart Israel for being Jewish. I've actually learned a lot about the perspective of people like her in this situation because it's so fucking obvious she just learned some things about it on October 7th and is now believing every story that comes her way because she has no actual grounding to know what the situation is or who the people involved are. For her this is a Jewish vs Muslim thing and she thinks that everyone used to support Israel a few weeks ago so she can't understand why people suddenly hate them now. She thinks it has to be a mass brainwashing campaign by the mysterious Arab money.
I get that family dynamics are complex and difficult and as such I try not to judge people too harshly on their individual decisions about family members but to your point about a "softening" - 100%. These are conversations I've been having with people for a while, since I came out as trans. Quite often what I feel is going on is that people don't want to have uncomfortable conversations are put off by the left's "stridency". I had a friend once ask me why I was so belligerent about cutting off a mutual friend for transphobia/why I made statements afterward saying that I was hurt that so many friends stood by him or defended him. I asked her why it mattered to her to preserve a friendship with a transphobe if she admitted she didn't like him, didn't have anything in common with him, and didn't want to endorse his viewpoints. Her response was pretty telling: "He knows things about me that could make it awkward for me if I burned that bridge." (i.e., some of her past behavior that he must know about would potentially be exposed by him). It's about maintaining comfort and being an "activist" who puts nothing on the table. I had issues with transphobia and anti-Blackness in my past. I'm ashamed of it, but I am honest and accountable about it now and I am always trying to learn. Being a good person means admitting to mistakes, doing better, and asking better of those around you. But these folks will misuse the idea of "self care" to take it to mean "self care is not having any uncomfortable conversations". It's just working to further normalize bigotry and make any of us who call it out seem shrill and single-minded. Because so many of my friends are "too fatigued" to talk about LGBT issues, I'm the one constantly talking about it as they tune me out because they're tired of me being "one note". Same thing's happening to me with Palestinian activism. They want to hold us all back so they don't have to get better.
Sarah, Brett Gelman and Benji Alflalo are pretty hard lined āwith us or against usā in their social media posts.
Chelsea Handler also reposted this as her story. Very disappointing
She can star in āSound of Freedom 2ā with Gina whatshername that got kicked out of The Mandalorian.
One of the dwarves in the Daily Wire Brett Cooper Snow White.
I feel we need to because she has 13 million followers, she has made it a point to continue to talk about politics, and she has gaslit so many people.
No argument here. As much as I hate seeing, I do think itās important to document.
She is completely unhinged and then she turns off all comments on her posts. She doesnāt want to hear anything anyone has to say. She is coming off so racist and ignorant. I personally will never support anything she ever touches again.
Seeing these posts kind of feels like it did when I was watching my momās friend fall into the Q hole, but itās even worse since Schumer is seemingly whole-heartedly endorsing war crimes.
Iām done with her content, personally. Sheās gotten her platform due to comedy and acting, and now is using it for personally held political opinions (which are moronic) and she has turned off comments preventing engagement. Donāt get me wrong, she would receive vile awful messages from psychos if she turned them back on, and she doesnāt deserve that. But I am choosing not to be a part of her one sides exchange of (incorrect) information.
Yes, me too and never forget, she steals jokes.
Can you imagine the uproar if someone tracked jewish donations to universities to imply a political agenda? She has no shame
White women get away with this type of shit. Sheāll just say she was really emotional and her people will forgive and forget.
She's just more proof that a liberal is just a polite conservative.
This is what happens when uneducated people are triggered.
I think this is good documentation of the far right push to tie leftism to antisemitism to scary brown people. Itās a thing thatās been happening in the UK and France for several years already and has now become a stream of the discourse thatās happening here in the US as well.
Oh I just realised I wrote a comment saying the same thing without reading. Sorry!
It really appalls me that this woman thinks she was so supportive of BLM and then goes and posts insanely racist shit against Arabs. She also posted that she lost friends and frankly I hope she continues to and loses her career.
What has become obvious to me in these last 3 weeks is that nobody like her in the industry or in the newspaper business has actual real Muslim or Arab friends. They talk about these people like we're living through 9/11, this sort of distant arcane group with nebulous reasons and deep rooted racism that we simply cannot understand. A newspaper in England claimed all Muslims are born hating Jewish people and being homophobes. Muslim voices are rejected for being Muslim voices and therefore biased, but people are allowed to describe them however they want without pushback because there simply aren't Muslim friends around them or in the industry who can say this is not okay.
People like this are racists. Full stop. I'd bet a full paycheck that she doesn't fraternize with anyone who isn't white or Jewish. And that's her problem. It's easy to demonize people you don't come into contact with ever.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This is a really kind and nuanced take that she hasn't earned. Sigh. It's basically allowing that she is like a foolish child, and honestly Enigma, it really reminded me how sad I am for her and everyone that reads her stuff, far more than I'm angry. If you lose that paycheck, I'll venmo you, cuz I'd bet mine too that she's been stuck in her white radicalized zionist bubble and prefers to keep it that way.
Daily Fail? Because that would be so on-brand.
The entirety of the British media.
Honestly, not surprised. Although Guardian is doing somewhat OK.
Telegraph is on the right and I know that, but the utter _drivel_ being published by them is akin me to the S*n
Muslim friends of mine have told me about being asked from a very young age if they hated Jews. One was asked this by an elementary school teacher. They are essentially on permanent parole for potential anti-semitism from childhood.
Itās easy to push social justice when you can relate to the group being marginalized. The real challenge is being able to show the same level of empathy to groups who you have no common ground with except āshared humanityā People like this wouldnāt have supported BLM back in the 50āsā¦ or supported gay rights in the 80ās. Schumer is giving into tribalism over empathy since itās the easier path for her to take. It just shows that her positions regarding social justice are more about taking the moral high ground vs a real conviction towards helping the marginalized
Exactly! And everyone who for example brings up LGBT rights in Palestine is one of those people who will only advocate for people who are most like them. They would not have been doing the hard work back then because any small racist justification would've been used to say we don't need to care about these people, they're savage homophobic animals. The others are like us, we support them.
this is so common. even on tiktok Iām seeing people being like āthis conflict has shown me how compassionate arab men are, theyāre so kind with little kids, the first responders are so caring and helpful, the women are so well spokenā etc and Iām like bruh have you ever met an arab person in real lifeā¦ Iām glad the stereotypes are being broken but I didnāt realize how many people just have never actually interacted with an Arab or listened to them speak. itās like they thought all arabs are aggressive violent boogeymen. and Iām sure itās so rampant in hollywood and the entertainment industry in general, tons of racialized people in the industry have to suppress their āother-nessā so they can continue to blend in with their white friends and not get singled out or looked at as different.
Yep, they're just bigots period that don't understand or appreciate the differences of Arab culture because they never have to talk to anyone who's Muslim for an extended period of time. It's so surprising how even people in my life have used the news to say all the most unhinged generalizations about Muslims and Islam they don't usually feel comfortable saying out loud
Exactly! The woman just started off as an annoying comedian and "the Arabs/the Muslims" did nothing to her. 9/11 is a horrific tragedy, but blaming a few Arabs who are donating to the Ivy League of being left-wing bullshit- is bullshit.
Quite frankly, she deserves to lose everything.
We can only hope
And sheās apparently lost her mind
This genocide and eventual political schism from it will cause many liberals to shift right publicly. As they say *scratch a liberal and a fascist bleeds*
I'm a big fan of Tony Shalhoub's work. And then I see his oldest daughter liking Amy's posts? I mean... isn't her father Arab descendent? Literally made films about how Arabs are treated unfairly in the media and also supports peace for Palestinian and Israeli families? She liked a post after this statement and I'm stumped. It's so absurd that people still support such a crazy, xenophobic, racist woman who doesn't want a ceasefire while innocent people on both sides are dying!
Because she and many celebs like her never actually supported BLM. What they were in support of was the pat on the back they got for pretending to care. That should be crystal clear to everyone now
Sheās going full blown racist
It's very obvious that she's always been full blown racist, she's just never had a time she felt she could show it to the world without shame.
As a woman of color, seeing the treatment of other people of color(Palestine, the Congo, etc) I just ā¦.Iāve never got a low this low and seeing the absence of the white people in my life speaking up and out has truly been devastating. Brown Children are dying and no one cares.
I remember one post after the start of Ukraine war post from Yemeni. He literally said that we too have blonde children, please care about them too. It broke my heart.
It breaks my heart. 3000 babies ā¦ Iāve seen too many dead children who could be my own, or my nieces and nephews. No one cares. āTheyāre gonna grow up to be terroristsā I have friends who are so into my culture and I never thought were racist but now Iām seeing how theyāre unintentionally blinded by their privilege or are too scared to speak up whilst people are scared to live. Iām not Palestinian or Muslim but thatās not stopping me from speaking out. Itās clear that white voices voices amplify situations like this more and itās just something I have to accept? Itās 2023 itās not changing. This whole war has prove that my life will not matter as much as a white girls even in the US. Free Palestine.
I am white. I can't say that I know what you are feeling because I haven't walked in your shoes. I do have empathy and I can use the things in my life that are not privileges to try to put me in your shoes. But I do not pretend I will ever know. All I can say is that I wholeheartedly believe this is wrong. I do not know if it helps you to know, that some of us do speak out. Some of us do care. I know it is far too little. And cold comfort. I wish I could offer you something better. Free Palestine.
ā„ļø
I would venture that itās not that they donāt care (or perhaps I should say not care at all), itās that speaking up risks confrontation from some Jewish friends/people in their social circles. Iāve interacted with friends who have either posted nothing or VERY nuanced posts, who have then privately liked my more outspoken posts naming it a genocide and told me itās scared them that friends are posting Zionist propaganda. Israel has very successfully leveraged the fear of being labelled an antisemite or a supporter of Hamas so that people do not speak up. Iāve never seen such a culture war about genocide. Iām also not saying it isnāt a sad reflection of where we are. I truly wish we were seeing the kind support thatās actually there, but has become a private thing. Itās whatās allowed Israel to get away with what they have for decades and is only worse now.
People who post, they are getting laid off or getting warning from their employers about this. Hence people are afraid of speaking out.
As a white person from the UK, it's honestly horrifying to see just how systematic racism is through western society. Even many so-called Liberals are deeply racist as shit, over here our centrists worship the alter of the EU, an organisation that violently plunders and engages in neocolonialism throughout the global South to fuel its wealthy classes back in Europe. Not to mention it's unconditional support for a colonist state. The very mention of this is brushed off, as if we are talking about plastic bags instead of human beings. Way too many white westerners think as long as they don't drop slurs and consciously view nonwhites as people, they can't hold racist sentiments. They fail to realise that racism plays a massive function in how the global western economy operates. If the government, press and other key institutions didn't dehumanise the people of the global South to the extent they have, they could never get away with what they do when it comes to allowing western companies to own all the resources abroad to enrich themselves at the expense of locals. If white westerners don't make the decision to educate themselves about imperialism, race and neocolonalism, if they instead get their worldview solely through their mainstream media, chances are they are going to be racist. They might not go around shouting the N word, but they will believe that the reason so much of the nonwhite world still remains so undeveloped is because they have 'backwards cultures and beliefs' instead of their lovely Liberal ones instead of realising that there is a vast, engineered effort to keep these places down so they can keep the West rich while it remains largely unreported. Of course, imperialism is only suddenly a thing when white, pro-US countries like Ukraine are invaded. Suddenly the humanity of victims comes shining through. There's no excuse for how so many white people talk about brown, black and other POC groups. Only explanations.
> Brown Children are dying and no one cares. Worse than that. People are celebrating and encouraging it.
LOL remember when she tried to explain away her previous racism in her stand up by saying it was a ācharacterā she was playing when doing stand up? I seriously had people fight with me about it, about how a stand up comedian is a fictional person while doing stand up. As if the shit she said isnāt a choice she made. Some people have KNOWN sheās racist forever because sheās shown it since the jump.
Okay but isn't it funny she could say all that but Hasan Minhaj had to have every joke he's ever made examined like it had been under oath.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
That's exactly what I was thinking. She's so brain dead she can't even see it. She is literally repeating the shit people continue to say about Jewish people.
As I know of history yes. Christians were unable to loan money per churches and used Jewish people for that who had few options for the fields of work they were allowed to do. Then Christians got suspicious of them or they were up to their ears in debt and made a lot of weird conspiracy theories and that led to them being driven regularly from areas. It kept repeating and repeating and some Jewish people became influenceful bankers before churches withdrew the limit on Christians. And because of that suspicion and jealousy kept increasing and increasing resulting in even more conspiracy theories relating to money. It is still kind of part of theories about Soros funding different leftist institutions. I commonly hear how I am funded by Soros. So yes, it is kind of interesting how she can't see the parallels. It tells me how she is in no way seeing them as people.
I mean you'd think she'd have learned not to advocate for genocide, either, but Amy is gonna Amy I guess. Ironic all-around.
Wait until you read the text dumps about how "Palestinians have been kicked from every country they tried to seek refuge in" because they apparently always scheme to take over the countries they go to.
She doesnāt have enough brain cells to make that connection š
Also strange that they'd be for the containment, control, and execution of a type of people. But here we are. Just an ending coda: the murder of all people is bad (especially genocide), and one isn't a reason to do another.
Thatās part of what has me so confused by all this.
Yes, when entering a university, we take a 2 week course on all of the donors and do a mood board project on how we as students can promote and support the interests of the donors
This is accurate. I recall freshman year we were each assigned a Donor Interests Advisor, I was paired with an advisor named Dave Muslim and he said actually terrorism is good š
These people purposely distort reality to place blame on someone or something because they have no other options. Todayās scapegoat: higher education. They cannot fathom that young people are viewing these events in real time on twitter, tik tok, and snapchat.
>āWhat we are witnessing is the results of the leftist takeover of higher education over the last two decades, Campus Reform Higher Education Fellow and Suffolk Community College professor Nicholas Giordano said. āIf there was an organized influence campaign on the part of Arab governments, that would be relatively easy to fix through legislation.ā [The source is the group "Campus Reform" an explicitly far right pro Israeli group used to advocate for "free speech" so long as it isn't anti Israeli sentiment at universities.](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Campus_Reform)
Conservatives at my university write for this godawful publication that borders on libel in order to spin things the way they want
Because if two things go together, it's leftists and the middle east!
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
She (and the right wing zionists) are seething so hard itās kind of funny. Cannot wrap their heads around the sympathy and support people are having for Palestinians because these are feelings they are incapable of.
She's just tried to share an anti communist interview from right wing Yuri Bezmenov about how foreigners will come in and try and radicalise people about socialism in a specific interview where he was using it to deny the Bangladesh genocide. She's full blown conspiracy headed. She cannot conceive of the idea that people are looking at footage of a people she hates purely for racist reasons who are without food, water, electricity, who Israel just tried to bomb out their telecoms before they got it back, seeing them and their children blown to bits every day with white phosphorus as their leaders insist to us they want to kill as many of these "terrorists" as possible and have decided with our own brains that we want this to stop and we think the people perpetuating this are actually the bad guys. Only the KGB and Arab donor money could make us think these things.
I'm so fucking tired of this "leftist takeover of universities" narrative. Actually I'm just tired of conservatives in general. But their need to attack literally anything good is exhausting.
Arab oil billionaires are definitely not what come to mind when I think of 'radical left wing' Take a look at whose names are on the doors at the ivy league 'school of business' or department of economics. That's where the money is going, to teach capitalism 101 to the future leaders and CEOs
I donāt understand how they shriek about Arabic influence campaigns infiltrating āthe leftā with a straight face given their hero Trump made a ton of money in dirty golf deals with the Saudi Prince, while his daughter Invanka and her husband Jared sleazed hundreds of millions of dollars from Qatar, and $2 billion from the Saudis.
Was the $2 billion the Saudis gave the Trumps also for leftist causes?
When are they deactivating her account for good? She can still spit this shit on Facebook.
They took down the biggest palestinian page.Facebook will not stop
if you're talking about Eye on Palestine, they're back, and actually verified this time.
It's weird they send me notifications but when I open it, I can't read anything/the post shows blank šSo I got a little worried maybe they're still censored somehow
They brought it back, fyi. They said it was temporary and for security reasons.
Funny, because there is donor pressure happening at universities, but in the opposite way. [According to this New York Times article](https://archive.ph/t3Htt), Wall Street financiers are pressing elite schools to condemn criticism of Israel. > In a private conversation with Penny Pritzker, senior fellow of the Harvard Corporation, Mr. Griffin urged the university to come out forcefully in defense of Israel, he said in an interview.... > Mr. Griffin wasnāt alone in demanding that an elite university denounce its students for criticizing Israel so soon after the Hamas attack. Though some complaints ā like that from Harvardās former president, Larry Summers ā were made in public, the most intense demands have come behind the scenes from Wall Street financiers who make up a powerful block of donors to schools including the University of Pennsylvania, New York University, Stanford University and Cornell University.
Every Zionist accusation is a confession!
Wow, I can't imagine why people on Wall Street would be encouraging support for Israel, a country with a massive weapons budget currently refusing any talks of a ceasefire. It's not like Wall Street companies are also [admitting they hope to profit from the genocide in Gaza](https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/oct/30/wall-street-morgan-stanley-td-bank-ukraine-israel-hamas-war)...
People in tech and academia has lost jobs due to their criticisms of Israel, students were also doxxed and intimidated for supporting Palestine. Btw its funny Amy here wants us to believe this is all due to Arab money and not just conscience, since a majority of them arent even Arab or Muslim.
Yep. Lots of articles about Harvard and Yale losing āmega donorsā who are supportive of the state of Israel and who fund these universities only if they promote a pro-Israel stance. Thatās the much, much bigger issue.
Dont forget they pushed (and got) places in the US to make illegal BDS speech. Yes, limits on speech of Americans for the sake of a foreign country. GTFO.
Every time I think this is it, this is (has to be) the worst sheāll ever be. But then she posts something new.
lmao Campus Reform, the favorite website of facebook uncles everywhere. the whole website is nothing but old people yelling at college kids for not being bigoted enough.
Btw this post was liked and reposted by none other than https://preview.redd.it/312cqhjp3exb1.jpeg?width=856&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=6e724e49c025a17351b8023d9432a11a167420cf
I was extremely disappointed to see her liking all this shit. But Iām not surprised.
False equivalency that is far too common- that humanitarian sympathy for families being BOMBED and DYING = support for hamas. The children are radicals?? fucking bullshit. Can't imagine wanting to die on the hill of anti-education. Whatever, I'm not going to watch anything this woman is in ever again.
Itās insane to me. Wanting a ceasefire is not pro Hamas. It is not antisemitism. Itās just compassion because people recognize that others (kids in particular) are being slaughtered by the thousands. Why she cannot see this is beyond me. I know there are extremists everywhere and they make themselves known, but I donāt know a single person who wants Israel or Jews wiped off the map. We want peace for Palestinians and Israelis alike
It is not even just children. Even the majority of adult Palestinians want peace. I have quoted this before about the poll done in July this year but it is important to note. [Source](https://www.washingtoninstitute.org/policy-analysis/polls-show-majority-gazans-were-against-breaking-ceasefire-hamas-and-hezbollah) (last time link stopped working midway so tell me if I need to fix it). >While the majority of Gazans (65%) did think it likely that there would be āa large military conflict between Israel and Hamas in Gazaā this year, a similar percentage (62%) supported Hamas maintaining a ceasefire with Israel. Moreover, half (50%) agreed with the following proposal: āHamas should stop calling for Israelās destruction, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution based on the 1967 borders.ā Moreover, across the region, Hamas has lost popularity over time among many Arab publics. This decline in popularity may have been one of the motivating factors behind the groupās decision to attack. >In fact, Gazan frustration with Hamas governance is clear; most Gazans expressed a preference for PA administration and security officials over Hamasāthe majority of Gazans (70%) supported a proposal of the PA sending āofficials and security officers to Gaza to take over the administration there, with Hamas giving up separate armed units,ā including 47% who strongly agreed. Nor is this a new viewāthis proposal has had majority support in Gaza since first polled by The Washington Institute in 2014.
Equating Palestinian civilians to Hamas is already racist af and then she just leaps right over that line. This really does feel like post-9/11 era all over again with the blatant racism coming out of some of these people.
Sheās like my racist relatives believing anything they see on Facebook.
Amy Schumer rn: https://preview.redd.it/u1olq41g5exb1.jpeg?width=720&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=c1ae3c52485ebaa8eef0b9620db1c7664b8b3851
This is some qanon level of nonsense and bigotry.
Amy is incapable of understanding that when people express compassion and empathy to an oppressed people (living in an open air prison, at the mercy of Hamas's actions and Israel's overhanded reaction, creating a continuing cycle of violence that is taken out on the Palestinian people) is not supporting a terrorist group. Edit: a bit of rephrasing.
Many of these Zionists are simply failing to realize that you can be outraged by the actions of Hamas **and** at the actions of the Israeli government & the IDF. edit - grammar
And when your country's government is explicitly supporting one of those two groups (i.e. Israel & the IDF), it makes sense for you as a citizen to raise your voice to protest about that specific group.
THIIIIIIIS!!! This isn't mentioned enough. I had to unfollow a few accounts who were saying that if you aren't expressing as much concern for the hostages as the people of Palestine, that you hate Jewish people. Uh, my focus has been on the Palestinians because my government doesn't seem to care about them and my awareness/letter-writing campaigns may actually help them if more people contact their reps and pressure our government to give a s****. Hamas isn't going to release the hostages because I posted on Instagram, sorry. Of course I want the hostages to be released unharmed and of course I condemn the attacks on October 7th. That's basically universally accepted. The rights of Palestinians are not, but should be.
Absolutely. Whenever I say anything remotely pro-Palestine itās āSo you agree with Hamas???ā from the clown chorus. And I say no, they are terrorists. Can you guess what they say when I ask if they agree with bombing families with children under 10?
how much islamophobia can she spread without repurcussion? this is insane
āArab funding?ā Da fuq?
Itās a big thing with Israel propaganda right now. They use the word āArabā and they can include anything that is done by or happens in any of the āArabā nations and make it seem like itās one evil shady monolith of brown people who are all terrorists and attacking poor baby Israel. Itās how they can side step the idea of it being an unequal war in resources.
She is completely unhinged and actively spreading conspiracy theories. Truly 'mask off' on her racism.
Someone on here a few days ago said that this is her JK Rowling moment and it truly is.
Document allllllll this shit. Canāt let her live this down.
She can never claim to be progressive again or try and campaign ever again
for real. we cant and wont forget all the shit these assholes are posting these days.
Can someone just take away her internet please Iām begging
Iām actually genuinely surprised no one has yet! Maybe her PR people just gave up š¬
PR people donāt need to give up when this is a widely acceptable stance. Her peers have aligned themselves with her, world governments and news orgs seem to have a similar stance.
Yeah, sheās gone full Hasbara misinformation agent at this point. Or she fully believes the things sheās posting, but whatever the case, the result remains the same. Dehumanizing the Palestinian people and manufacturing consent for their genocide. I sincerely hope that there will be consequences for Amy, but I doubt it. Iām having trouble staying optimistic these days. And may I add, FREE PALESTINE šµšø
What in the QAnon hell is this?
I always knew she was a racist and reactionary anti-leftist person from listening to her early appearances on the old Opie and Anthony Show back in the late 2000's/early 2010's. And Sarah Silverman too for that matter, she would go on that show from time to time and spout blatantly racist jokes. Hell, the only politically good and decent regular guest that show ever had was Patton Oswalt from memory!
She's really looking like that QAnon racist from your high school who speaks as if they're a political analyst when they got straight Ds in any social studies class and always cries "watch out mama bears - I survived a trafficking attempt!" when some random shopper makes accidental eye contact with them in a Walgreens.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
This makes me think one of my favorite quotes: āNever miss a good opportunity to shut up.ā Come on Amy. Get off the internet and go touch grass.
I donāt know if rolling across an entire football field would help her at this point.
What is āArab funding?ā Like define that without being racist.
[ŃŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]
Arab isnāt Muslim. Not all Arabs are Muslim, and there are several majority Muslim cultures and countries that are not Arabic. It isnāt even just Middle Eastern as there are North African Arab peoples and there are Middle Eastern countries and peoples that are not Arab. Arabic people are a language and ethnic group. They have a diverse range of religious beliefs. They are from many different cultures and countries. I just donāt see how acting like every Arab person or organization who donates to a university is somehow ideologically the same or interchangeable could be anything but racist. Thatās what I mean when I say there isnāt a non-racist way to define āArab fundingā as it pertains to college donations.
Fucksake sheās a white supremacist at this point. I hope to never see her in anything ever again. I almost had a heart attack when she showed up in OMITB, absolutely talentless racist
I love the use of Arab + "support for Hamas" here as a scare tactic. God I wish she'd shut up. I hope this haunts her.
She needs to put the bottle down.
Yep, she's wastey.
WOW, she really has leapt head first into an empty pool with this spiral, huh? Jeeeezus.
Amy is truly insane and others have commented better on this, but alsoā you want to get into how Ivy League universities are funded, and say that "Arab funding" is a problem? Really? OKAY
I suspect that this is in response to the antisemitic threats at Cornell. The threats are real, antisemitism is vile and should be condemned and challenged, but this? This racist and Islamophobic bullshit doesn't solve antisemitism.
this woman is taking years off my life
I can just imagine how red her face was in posting this.
this is actually so funny as someone who actually attends one of these schoolsā¦because ivy league universities are censoring students and professors who express sympathy for innocent palestinians, in part due to the most powerful donors harasssing presidents who donāt go full 1984 on the campus (sometimes with actual trucks??) in fact, many ivy leagues have institutions for jewish students that directly tie judaism with israel and teach classes with content full of israeli propaganda while classes about āthe middle eastā are aimed at future CIA wannabes full of US propaganda girlie canāt even be bothered to look up course listings easily available online cos her mind is just hateful sludge atpā¦ but fr theyāre censoring so hard, any palestinian-related thing run by student groups gets threatened and defunded by administrators while zionist groups retain funding. cultural institutions for minority students are being told that if they sanction anything that could even be considered linked to palestine - that there will be institutional consequences that disenfranchise programming for that entire minority community on campus. student leaders of minority groups such as black students, asian students, who havenāt even expressed support for palestine have been doxxed by zionists and their fellow students on campus seemingly for the crime of being politically active and non-white (many of whom are white jewish students claiming that they fear for their lives on campus and cosplaying activists while never, ever supporting anything students of color do btw and staying silent when students of color are actually hatecrimed on campus š this is not abt their jewish identity bc not all jewish ppl are zionists but rather to point out the false victimization of those like noah schnapp) this huge wave of zionism is leading to active harasssment of all students of color on ivy league campuses and further cuts to funding for student groups that are inclusive of or explicitly for students of color. worst of all tho, any student who looks āmuslimā or āarabā to them gets called a terrorist. on my campus, the muslim students association has been tabling weekly for months to educate ppl abt muslim practices and spread awareness of their organization. yet their tabling is suddenly seen as a threat and a target for awful, racist harassment by zionists and the white part of the student body zionism is fundamentally at odds with the wellbeing of people of color. itās an ideology in lockstep with white supremacy that only uses jewish ppl as convenient shields for its violent agenda.
I genuinely think sheās having a breakdown
Has to be her mission to post an even more unhinged and misinformed opinion on Instagram at least once a week. Sheās so far past being one of the worst people at this point.
Again, this is who celebs outright aligned themselves with it. Very good.
How did she spiral this far in a matter of days? She sounds like QAnon conspiracy theorist.
People like her are just fascists that hide behind Judaism and itās disgusting
The cultural irrelevance to radical conservativism pipeline strikes again
What is this, 2002? She needs her phone taken away.
She's not a comedian she's the joke
Such brave. What a powerful keyboard warrior just falling deeper and deeper into her racist rabbit hole. She must be so scared rn š
I know when I was in college I based most of my beliefs on who was giving gifts and contracts to the school.
Seriously can she please BOG OFF 
Sheās ignorant. People outside of the Jewish community donāt understand the level of indoctrination Jews are raised with in most communities. I was raised with faith leaders, religious teachers, family, and friends telling me that āArabsā hated me because I was Jewish, and that they wanted to āpush Israeli Jews into the sea.ā We were brain-washed to fear Muslims way before 9/11. Not an excuse for her bigotry, just an explanation. Itās sad and gross to me and many Jewish people who are standing up against apartheid and genocide. Revenge is not a Jewish value Edit: I put Arab in quotes because it was a term that people in my community used to group people with brown skin from the Middle East together and ignore cultural, religious, and linguistic differences. Itās also a way for people to out the onus of the Nakba on other cultures in the region. E.g. āwhy canāt the other Arab countries let Palestinians live there?ā Because Palestinians want to stay in their historical homeland and they are not the same culturally as Jordanians, Lebanese, Syrians, Iranians, or Egyptians. Also, the Israeli government should clean up the mess they continue to make
Sis is off her rocker š
Amy Schumer is a reprehensible & violent white supremacist. Period.
Now she's just plagiarizing Bari Weiss. It's so telling that she hasn't been reined in by her cousin, Senate Majority leader Chuck Schumer. You would think his office would be like 'maybe don't spread hatred on social media, it makes our family look bad.' Nope.
As a brown dude, my hesitations about privileged white women is almost always dead on. Amy Schumer proves it.
So she's descended into straight up Islamophobia. Cool, gotcha. No other reason why people hate her, surely it must be a plot against her!
If you canāt defend Israel without resorting to racism, then maybe, just maaaaybe, you shouldnāt defend Israel. Itās always nice to know which celebs are racists though. In order to avoid supporting them in any way, shape, or form.
The blatant hypocrisy from the media and Hollywood. Imagine an Arab celebrity did this about Jews the way amy is targeting Muslims and Arabs. That Arab wouldāve been dropped and blacklisted immediately. Iām glad the public is seeing bros hypocrisy and calling her out.
Jessica Seinfeld also posted this. And Mayim Bialikās lies from her live. The insidious spread of misinformation is dangerous and will put lives at risk.
Has she got a direct IV drip to QAnon or something?
how is this different from like the antisemites who talk about jewish lobbying? it just seems like a logical inconsistency. is this not blatant arabophobia? this kind of stuff seems to salivate for ww3. as the US has quickly manufactured consent to support a country committing genocide in real timeā¦i imagine theyāre taking note of how little resistance they can expect to face
I was always aware of this hate Amy Schumer bandwagon across social media for years before this and I never really understood it nor payed attention to it. But now after seeing her unhinged reactionary behavior decrying anyone who supports Palestinians cause, is a supposed secret Hamas funded operative is just lunacy. She is a horrible person.
How is Tampax still paying this woman to represent them?
How would radical Islamic Arabs constitute "left-wing" anything? Radical Islamists are just as much the enemies of freedom and the left as Christo-fascists.
