Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas claims ‘privileged’ Zionists ‘talk like black people during slavery’

The Strokes frontman Julian Casablancas has claimed that “privileged” American Zionists “talk like black people during slavery”.

Casablancas made the comments on the YouTube channel Subway Takes, which has nearly a million subscribers, during an interview with host Kareem Rahma.

Asked for his most controversial opinion, he joked it had “been nice having a career” before saying: “American Zionists get the benefits of white privileged people but talk like they are black people during slavery. 

Rahma immediately responded that he “100 per cent agrees”, adding: “I’ve never seen something so shocking where they’re like ‘I’m so oppressed. I’m an oppressed person’ - I’m like, ‘you are going to a wedding in Tel Aviv right now, when there are 80,000 dead people... including women and children [close by]’.”
