Black Lives Matters hypocritical anti-Semitism Smearing Jews undermines the movements 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 worlds 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 Leagues Jonathan Greenblatt inexplicably phrased it, things about which we strongly disagree. We can strongly disagree about appropriate marginal tax rates. But we dont 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.
