Black Lives Matter’s hypocritical anti-Semitism undermines the movement’s claim to seek justice

Black Lives Matter’s hypocritical anti-Semitism Smearing Jews undermines the movement’s claim to seek justice

In its new platform, Black Lives Matter (BLM) has, despite the total lack of relevance to its own agenda or interests, thrown whatever heft it has behind the anti-Semitic movement to Boycott, Divest, and Sanction (BDS) Israel. In doing so, it is inarguably contributing to the campaign to “other” the world’s only Jewish state and, with it, the Jews themselves.

Using the justification that U.S. military aid to Israel “diverts much needed funding from domestic education and social programs,” the platform launches into a ridiculous, one-sided assault on Israel. It accuses Israel of committing “genocide” against the Palestinians (a word rendered utterly meaningless when used to describe a situation in the which the alleged target population increases each year). It labels Israel “an apartheid state,” accuses Israel of arresting four-year-olds “without due process,” and of bulldozing Palestinian homes “to make way for illegal Israeli settlements.” It supports the aims and activities of the BDS movement. It has all the sobriety and nuance one might expect from a play written and performed by the pre-K kids at Hamas summer camp.

These are not, as the Anti-Defamation League’s Jonathan Greenblatt inexplicably phrased it, things about which “we strongly disagree.” We can “strongly disagree” about appropriate marginal tax rates. But we don’t merely “disagree” with rabidly anti-Jewish lies told in furtherance of a movement that exists to single out Jews for discrimination and hatred. We condemn them and reject those who propagate them. “Disagreement” suggests there is a point at which we could reach agreement. How does one meet halfway on “Israel is committing genocide?” No, these are disqualifying falsehoods that should send any sympathizer of good conscience fleeing for the exits.

Once someone demonstrates anti-Semite tendencies in their political beliefs, I’m done with that person, at least on the subjects of society, culture and government. They’ve bought into the great conspiracy theory and it colors everything.

I guess it’s just a strange coincidence that BLM’s founder (Soros) and the Islamists hate Jews too, eh?

BLM has no justifiable claims, they’re a Soros financed mob.

If I give them some money, I wonder if they will issue a statement supporting our volunteer fire department.

BLM is yet another iteration of ACORN. They will be a central part of rat vote stealing this election cycle.

The Bowel Movement Lives Matter (BMLM) movement just like so many other radical, “justice” seeking organizations believes in applying human, universal values to all men and women except...Jews. This is just a rehashing of so many other movements the Jews helped initially only to be spat and shat upon in the end.
Justice for all, especially those that will kill Jews or Israelis. Nothing new here folks, nothing to see, move along, move along...

MLK was a radical in his era but he preached nonviolence and understanding between all men. If he were alive today to see the myriad of movements formed after he was killed, he would be appalled. He would be especially outraged to see how Jesse Jackson turned out...

It has nothing to do with black lives. It’s a neo-communist organization that sprung up to take advantage of the fake hype created by the media over cops shooting thugs.

Actually, Malcolm X was the radical. He made MLK acceptable.

Now that I think about it - Trump needs a radical to draw all the flak.

Black people are used as tools by the Establishment. Always have been. Yet they never learn.

Who Is Doing the Community Organizing for Black Lives Matter Spectacle?

Not many Black Lives Matter morons would have the initiative to get a poster printed. But it's no mystery where they get the signs that they jab in the air as they chant "What do we want? Dead cops!" The supplier is printed right across the bottom: revcom.us .

Image and video hosting by TinyPic

'Rev' is for revolutionary.
'Com' is for communist
.

Revcom.us bills itself as "the voice of the Revolutionary Communist Party, USA." The explicit objective is to overthrow our constitutional republic and replace it with an oligarchical collectivist dictatorship along the lines of North Korea and the Soviet Union.

Why would advocates of a communist police state agitate against the police? Because as leftists used to admit openly, the issue is never the issue. This isn't about the police, any more than it is about blacks. It is about destabilizing the system so as to create opportunities to weaken it and eventually overthrow it.

That's what community organizing boils down to. These people have taken over the executive branch of the federal government; why would they stop there?

The next hill they take will be federal control of local police. After that, things will start to get scary.

From the website of the Revolutionary Communist Party (revcom.us):

"Create Public Opinion, Seize Power: We are preparing minds and organizing forces for the time when there is a major crack in the system, whenever it comes and wherever it comes from: an opening that makes it possible to bring the future Revolutionary Army of the Proletariat (R.A.P.) into the field and wage a revolutionary armed struggle that actually has a chance of winning.

And we have said that building our party itself is the most important part of organizing forces for revolution. This is true now, and it is true looking forward to the creation of that future R.A.P. and the waging of that armed struggle.":

*********************************************************

The 1992 LA/Rodney King riots were instigated by the Revolutionary Communist Party...

From David Horowitz's FrontpageMag.com /DiscoverTheNetworks.org:

"Throughout its history, one of RCP's [Revolutionary Communist Party] principal objectives has been to foment civil unrest in the United States. The most notable example of such efforts occurred on April 29, 1992, when RCP members looted and trashed the downtown and government districts of Los Angeles, triggering the infamous Rodney King riots. During the days immediately preceding the violence, RCP -- which maintained close ties to the L.A. gangs known as the Crips and the Bloods -- had circulated throughout South Central Los Angeles a leaflet featuring a statement by RCP National Spokesman Carl Dix, titled 'It's Right To Rebel' -- a quote popularized by Mao Zedong.

Encouraged by Dix, RCP activists helped lead the riots that would leave 58 people dead, more than 2,300 people injured, some 5,300 buildings burned, and $1 billion in property damaged or destroyed. On the ten-year anniversary of the rioting, RCP member Joseph Veale fondly recalled the violence as 'the most beautiful, the most heroic civil action in the history of the United States.'"

Statement from Carl Dix:

Milwaukee Explodes in Righteous Rebellion as Police Kill Again!

August 14, 2016 | Revolution Newspaper | revcom.us

Saturday night people in Milwaukee poured into the streets in rebellion after police gunned down another Black man. The authorities wasted no time in demonizing the person gunned down, 23-year-old Sylville Smith—saying that he was armed and had a lengthy criminal record—trying to justify the murderous actions of their cops. But still people took to the streets, in the face of cops flooding the neighborhood armed to the teeth and even shooting at people to try to force them to disperse. People have righteously defended themselves in the face of this savage pig violence.

This rebellion is right on time. Despite police wearing body cameras, despite Department of Justice reports that expose the racism and abuse in police departments across the country, despite commission meetings and talk of reforms, police continue to kill people again and again. And the whole system continues to exonerate the killer cops when their murderous deeds get dragged into the light of day. People in Milwaukee have refused to accept this state-sponsored murder in silence, and they are right to do so. And everyone who stands for justice must have their backs.

This spirit must be built on and spread. In order to end the horror of police getting away with murder, it has to become part of an actual revolution; one that overthrows this system, defeating and dismantling its institutions of violent suppression, and brings into being a totally different and far better system. We need to live in a world where those responsible for public security would sooner lose their own lives than kill or injure an innocent person. It’ll take a revolution to bring that kind of world into being.

The Revolutionary Communist Party is organizing right now for that actual revolution. The Party is preparing the ground—influencing people and society as a whole toward revolution and toward fighting the outrages of society… the Party is preparing the people—raising people’s sights to the different world that is possible and the leadership we have in Bob Avakian and the Party he leads to realize that world… and preparing the vanguard—getting ready for the time when millions can be led to go for revolution, all-out, with a real chance to win.

If you hate seeing police murder Black people and others again and again, if you want to see a world where this horror is no more, get with the RCP and the ACTUAL revolution it is organizing! Go to www.revcom.us and join with the Revolution Club. Get organized for an actual revolution!

notice all the professionally printed signs. That’s always a dead giveaway that the “protesters” are externally financed.

Black Lives Matter’s hypocritical anti-Semitism proves that they are way too involved with the Palestinians and radical Islam. I have lost any bit of compassion I ever had for these people. You lay down with dogs, you get up with fleas.

Why exactly does BLM think they can start a sentence with “We are violent, anti American racist bigots” and expect me to listen to the rest of the sentence?

radicalism/evil/group think grows like a fungus..its all isolationist in dark places repeating how they hate a group over and over. Mass Paranoia. They see racism everywhere! White teeth..white milk.. Then they justify their behavior by finding a few examples of how they are being abused. Most of which is totally distorted or a total lie! . Never mind that what they are doing is far worse than what someone else has done to them or they have done to themselves?.. murder/rape/destruction/false accusations...BLM is another evil group perpetuating evil in the name of justice...

Pardon the rant.
