This is the best summary I could come up with:
After comedian Amy Schumer posted a video featuring clips of Martin Luther King Jr. speaking in support of Israel and denouncing antisemitism, his daughter Bernice King felt compelled to clarify what her father’s stance would be on the war between Israel and Hamas.
"Amy: Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I," Bernice King wrote in a thread on the social media platform X.
I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released and for us to work for true peace, which includes justice."
Schumer has been extremely vocal in her support of Israel, often posting information about the war and calling for the release of hostages.
In an Oct. 25 post on X, she praised Sen. Chuck Schumer, a distant relative, for "pushing a very fair bill that gives Israel the money she needs to defend herself and provide ample funds to protect innocent civilians in Gaza."
In response to Amy Schumer's tweet, Bernice King shared a different clip of her father talking about "moral power" and withdrawing from the Vietnam War.
The original article contains 371 words, the summary contains 183 words. Saved 51%. I'm a bot and I'm open source!
Hey, I can make it even shorter. Amy Schumer is a genocide apologist and MLK is not.
