During the racial justice uprisings of 2020, multiple murals of George Floyd appeared in Gaza and the West Bank. Meanwhile, in the US, Palestinian flags became a common sight at Black Lives Matter protests, and in 2021, the official BLM organization issued a statement declaring “solidarity with Palestinians” and opposition to “settler colonialism in all forms.”

The roots of the Left in Middle East Arab social movements goes back to the Cold War era where it is was originally created and supported by the Soviet Union and quickly taken over by the American and European Leftists. BLM, a Leftist created organization has a “natural” fit with “Palestinian” movements, as birds of the same Leftist feathers.
