Martin Luther King Jr.‘s daughter, Bernice King, took to Twitter on Tuesday (October 31st) to respond to a video Amy Schumer shared recently, showing her father speaking about Israel.
“The whole world must see that Israel must exist and has the right to exist and is one of the great outposts of democracy in the world,” the legendary civil rights activist says in the clip. “If my Jewish brothers and sisters said to me amid antisemitism anywhere, 'We don't need your support. We have enough Jewish power to deal with this problem ourselves.' I would still take a stand against antisemitism because it's wrong, it's unjust, and it's evil.”
Bernice responded, “Amy: Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I.”
