Donald Trump has faced backlash from the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) for referring to Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer as 'a Palestinian' in what was perceived as a derogatory context. CAIR's Nihad Awad called this language offensive, urging an apology to the Palestinian and American people. Trump's remarks were seen as part of a broader pattern of dehumanizing rhetoric that has real-world implications for Palestinian Americans. Jewish leaders echoed this concern, emphasizing that such terms should not be weaponized in political discourse.
Donald Trump doesn't get to decide who is Jewish. Senator Schumer is the country's highest-ranking Jewish American official, and 'Palestinian' should not be used as an insult.
The continuing dehumanization of the Palestinian people has resulted in horrific hate crimes against Palestinian-Americans and decades of denial of Palestinian human rights.
