Now This Is Interesting: Black Lives Matter Supports the Palestinians

[Michie]

The American BLM movement's support for Palestine isn't new and may result from a feeling of "kindred-ness" between the two movements.

Since its founding on May 14, 1948, the State of Israel has fought multiple wars and faced foes on many fronts. Now it is engaged in a war across social media and perhaps even the social consciousness. Many left-wing politicians in the United States and beyond have called out Israel's attacks in Gaza, which have left more than 100 civilians dead, including many women and children.

This week, the Black Lives Matterorganization declared its "solidarity with Palestinians" in the wake of the ongoing bloody conflict with Hamas backers and the Jewish state.

“Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. (Always have. And always will be)."

#freepalestine," Black Lives Matter announced on social media from its official account (@Blklivesmatter).

It has been building for years here. Same MO of the left. We call it victim mentality, identity politics. Making people groups victims of other people groups. It doesn't matter the parties involved it is the same method. Of course they are going to defend the method.

JS: very troubling. I think they forgot: Those that bless Israel shall be blest; those that curse Israel shall be cursed.

They are Marxist, they don't believe such things.

Malcom X was a black power leader and Muslim. He was assassinated by black Nation of Islam members. Some black supremacists advocated Islam, including the Nation of Islam. These may have infiltrated BLM and incited riots, looting, burning police cars and other arson such as occurred after the MLK assassination. Some blacks are law abiding Christians and know not to do violence.

They didn't forget. They never knew.You can't forget what you don't know. BLM never claimed to be a religious organization. And Christians only know because it is in the Bible. All of this is Satan trying to have everyone against God. Some people do not see the spiritual war that is and has been going on between the Kingdom of darkness and the Kingdom of Light. It is not about BLM or the Palestinians.The sad part imho is that people cannot see what it is all about.

No Blm has never claimed to be Christian, they claimed Marxism. Yes it is a spiritual war.

 

[Handmaid for Jesus]

Yes it is a spiritual war.

And even some Christians do not recognize it.

 

[ralliann]

And even some Christians do not recognize it.

Yep

What scripture are you quoting, Gen. 12:3?

 

[Douger]

What scripture are you quoting, Gen. 12:3?

It's from Balaam's prophecy in Numbers 24. Of course it has absolutely nothing to with this modern nation state calling itself Israel.

 

[tulc]

...why would that support be (apparently) a problem?

It is more than infiltration, BLM is the direct descendent of the Black Panthers and Malcolm X school of thought when it comes to civil rights, as opposed to the MLK school of thought.

Statements like this one about the Palestinians shows how BLM takes specific political stands, and as such should not be blindly promoted by sports leagues and other companies. People just hear "racism" and they want to stand against it. But BLM stands for much more than that.

Given antisemitism within the black community, why would anyone be especially surprised?

I am firmly convinced that the more people learn about BLM the less they will support it. The name sounds good but the actions are anything but good.

 

[TexFire316]

That doesn't surprise me at all.

confusing "antisemitism" with "supporting the Palestinian people" would also seem to be something of a problem.
tulc(just thought that should be pointed out)
