Former California governor and film star Arnold Schwarzenegger is speaking out against antisemitism, warning bigots that they “will die as miserably as they lived.”

In a video posted to YouTube, Schwarzenegger speaks out against hate, telling viewers “there has never been a successful movement based on hate.”

“Nazis? Losers. The Confederacy? Losers. The apartheid movement? Losers. I don’t want you to be a loser,” he says.

Schwarzenegger says that it is easy to understand how people get lured into believing antisemitic conspiracy theories.

“It’s easier to make excuses that the Jewish people conspired to hold you back than it is to admit that you just needed to work harder,” says the Austrian-born actor who rose to prominence as a bodybuilder.

“It’s easier to hate than it is to learn… Nobody who has chosen the easy path of hate has gotten to the end of the road and said, ‘What a life.’ No. They die as miserably as they lived.”
