I believe that the Muslim and Jewish people are in the right for condemning Trump for calling someone that isn't even Palestinian, but just a supporter and ally to the genocide that is going on Palestinian is racially and generally offensive. In the New York Times article below, the author listed many reasons that Trump's tone and argument addressed this in a negative and intense tone. Saying someone is a Palestinian means that their ethnicity, race or background of being Palestinian. What Donald Trump meant when he used the word "Palestinian" is saying that Schumer is only Palestinian became he sympathizes for the genocide that is happening in Gaza, and he simply a bad person. Trump calls him this also in a racial context, making Schumer a part of lower class race, that is less of person. I can strongly agree with the author of the article saying that Trump is "not evening using the word and value behind "Palestinian" is diminished", and not even used in the correct context.

You start the fact-check saying, "I believe..." but do you have any credible evidence that Jewish and Muslim groups have condemned Trump?
