The image appeared to refer to the Hamas paragliders that invaded Israeli territory on Saturday before carrying out a killing spree
A Black Lives Matter chapter from Chicago said it “stands with Palestine” and posted an online graphic of a paratrooper in the aftermath of the Hamas attack on Israel.
The organisation, which is affiliated to a group of similar BLM chapters in the United States, drew criticism for the image on a day of widespread condemnation of Hamas and its terrorist acts in Israel.
Black Lives Matter Chicago is one of the “#BLM10”, a group of anti-racist organisations that is not affiliated to the main parent organisation, the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation.
On Tuesday the group posted a black-and-white image of a paratrooper, with a Palestinian flag and the caption: “I stand with Palestine”.
The image appeared to refer to the Hamas paragliders that invaded Israeli territory on Saturday, using motorised flying vehicles and engines attached to parachutes.
Hamas members used the parachutes to evade Israel’s sophisticated air defence system on the Gaza border, reaching a music festival on the other side of the border wall.
There, they shot 260 people, raped women and took hostages back to the Gaza strip.
Black Lives Matter Chicago was criticised for its post online.
Tamar Schwarzbard, the head of digital operations at the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs, replied: “You stand for Hamas terrorists parachuting into Israeli territory, butchering and burning children alive?”
Elon Musk, the Twitter CEO, said: “Your position is clear”.
One Twitter user called for the group to be investigated by Illinois police for an act of terrorism.

Coming to an election next year.
BLM = Buy large mansions.
I remember both ATT & Comcast boasting about the combined $400 million they donated to this tacit terrorist group
That would be preferable, but thinking unlikely.
They are incompatible with modern society.
Weird that they are calling these paratroopers.

this may not even be a hamas guy. unclear if someone is using an old video
Yes especially since they'd never make it thru ground week let alone jump week.
Why are folks shocked when leftists (and BLM is most assuredly a leftist group) side with gross evil? After all, for openers, leftists love murdering babies and mutilating young folks and children. Why would such scum support anything that is good or true or beautiful?
Secretly, Democrats were thrilled by 9-11. Just as they are thrilled by Hamas.

Indeed they do have a history of it no wonder the slang for BLM is burn murder loot.
Like me, you must have gone through Jump School before the 1980s, the old Jump School doesn’t exist anymore, the guys from the 1980s mocked us old-timers for telling them Jump School was hard, and it is even easier now.
so when BLM literally destroyed cities, hit cops with bricks and firebombs, actually killed people, no one seemed to care. Now they post a picture saying they stand with other terrorists and people lash out at them? What did they miss the first time?

Ezekiel 38:9
King James Version
9 Thou shalt ascend and come like a storm, thou shalt be like a cloud to cover the land, thou, and all thy bands, and many people with thee.

A foreshadowing?
Fighter planes, parachutes, paratroopers....
Possible!
While you can say that Palestinians have some grievances, you can’t be moral and stand by the evil that was unleashed on Saturday. This was not political or an act of nationality. This was pure evil. They killed babies and old women. They shot anyone they saw. These were not casualties of war. These babies were targets. And they clearly wanted to desecrate anything or body that was Jewish. So even if you are a Hamas sympathizer, you can’t celebrate this act and be moral too.
