It is a real tragedy that Black Lives Matter — which has done so much good in raising awareness of police abuses — has now moved away from its central mission and has declared war against the nation state of the Jewish people. In a recently issued “platform,” more than 60 groups that form the core of the Black Lives Matter movement went out of their way to single out one foreign nation to accuse of genocide and apartheid.
No, it wasn’t the Syrian government, which has killed tens of thousands of innocent people with barrel bombs, chemicals, and gas. Nor was it Saudi Arabia, which openly practices gender and religious apartheid. It wasn’t Iran, which hangs gays and murders dissidents. It wasn’t China, which has occupied Tibet for more than half a century. And it wasn’t Turkey, which has imprisoned journalists, judges, and academics. Finally, it wasn’t any of the many countries, such as Venezuela or Mexico, where police abuses against innocent people run rampant and largely unchecked. Nor was it the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, where the police are a law unto themselves who act as judge, jury and executioner of those whose politics or religious practices they disapprove.
It was only Israel, the nation state of the Jewish people and the only democracy in the Middle East. The platform accuses the US of being “complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people” by providing aid to “an apartheid state.”

But but but Black lives matter is supposed to be about ONLY black lives. Why are they talking about Jewish lives? Oh yeah, because BLM is a communist agitation group and doesn’t really give a good g-d about black lives. Except insofar as black lives can be used to advance the cause of global totalitarian Marxism.
WHAT!!!!!!!!
Nothing based on lies will stand.
There are plenty of black Jews from Ethiopia and elsewhere living in Israel too, as well as Jews from the middle east, India, and even China. These BLM groups just hate all Jews period. You can tell a group had its origins in the dark side when they hate on Israel.
If you'd like to be on or off, please FR mail me.

Must rescind? Why? They hate Israel, they're allowed, many interest groups on the left share their beliefs.
Poor Alan!
Every time his intellect is confronted with the stupidity and hypocrisy of the Left, he goes into a fugue state of conitive dissonance from which he struggles to recover.
Some day, recovery will embrace him warmly into the bosom of Conservatism!
