Michael Rapaport shared another crazy rant on X, and this time, the actor claimed that Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. would be “canceled” if he were alive today.
Rapaport shared clips of Dr. King speaking out against anti-Semitism and saying Israel has the right to exist. However, the “Higher Learning” actor caused a stir on social media with the caption of his problematic post calling King a “Zionist” who would be canceled if he was alive today.
“CANCEL THIS ZIONIST TODAY!!!! Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. was a #ZIONIST & there’s no doubt he would be cancelled if he was alive today!!!”
British lawyer and activist Dr. Shola Mos-Shogbamimu quickly clapped back at Rapaport for his post and noted that King’s daughter, Bernice King, set the record straight once before after Amy Schumer shared a video of Dr. King speaking out against anti-Semitism.
The comedian shared the post amidst Israel’s bombing of Gaza, which has killed more than 24,000 people. The bombing began after Hamas attacked Israel and killed more than 1,200 people while taking hundreds of hostages.
“Amy: Certainly, my father was against antisemitism, as am I. He also believed militarism (along with racism and poverty) to be among the interconnected Triple Evils. I am certain he would call for Israel’s bombing of Palestinians to cease, for hostages to be released,” wrote Bernice.
