Black Lives Matter Takes Anti-Israel Stance

Black Lives Matter throws support behind Palestinian groups and declares that Israel is committing genocide.

Black Lives Matter Takes Anti-Israel Stance

Black Lives Matter has declared that Israel is committing genocide, and they are calling for a boycott of the Jewish state and the support of the Palestinian state.

A recent war of words between Black Lives Matter and Jewish community groups has brought to light the fact that the Black Lives Matter movement is attempting to expand their influence into the global arena and now taking an anti-Israel stance.

Their website deals with much of the same rhetoric, which includes all black people getting a government salary for just being black, free daycare, free college, decriminalization of most crimes, and eliminating the police and replacing them with “community solutions”  – they have recently delved into worldwide arena and have weighed in on the Israel/Palestine conflict.

The penmen at Black Lives first criticized the U.S. policy of partnering with Israel.  They continue by stating that “[Israel] is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people” – a hefty accusation.  They conclude their position with the charge that “Israel is an apartheid state with over 50 laws on the books that sanction discrimination against the Palestinian people”.

Evidently, the folks at Black Lives Matter are no friends of Israel or the nearly 6.1 million Jews throughout the world.  This stance is a far cry from their very own words in which they proclaim to recognize “the full humanity and dignity of all people”.  But their irresponsible writings show us otherwise.

Their comments enraged Jewish leaders across world, which see their platform as an abomination to the Jewish State.  The Jewish Community Relations Counsel in Boston released a statement on their website in which they declared the Black Lives Matter’s position to be a “profoundly disturbing development”.

Black Lives Matter fired back in a statement affirming their initial declaration.  Now added to their ranks is the Palestinian BDS National Committee (a name referring to their attempt to “boycott”, “divest”, and “sanction” Israel).  The groups are now working together in an anti-Semitic agenda.

As this back and forth evolved from a small war of words, to now a momentum building alliance between the Black Lives groups and the Palestinian BDS National Committee, and an anti-Semitic tone that comes with it.  While they claim to value the “dignity of all people”, its clear with their alliances that Black Lives Matter is trying to further its cause to new and more divisive depths.
