Black Lives Matter group defends Hamas terror as 'desperate act of self-defense' that 'must not be condemned'
Fox News ^ | 10/10/2023 | Gabriel Hays

Posted on 10/10/2023 5:27:32 PM PDT by marcusmaximus

A major Black Lives Matter group has thrown its support behind "the resistance in Palestine" following the deadly terrorist attack on Israel by Hamas over the weekend.

Rather than express sympathy for the more than 1,000 Israelis murdered by Hamas terrorists, Black Lives Matter Grassroots put out a statement declaring its support for Palestinians, saying, "[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed."

The post proclaimed that because the Palestinians "have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense."

The group, which was born out of the radical racial justice movement in America, cited "clear parallels between" the Black people oppressed in America and the Palestinians oppressed by Israel.

BLM Grassroots published the statement to its Instagram page on Monday, which read, "Black Lives Matter Grassroots stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 57 years of settler colonialism and apartheid."

It added, "As Black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open air prison."

“[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed.”

They find the simple existence of Jews to be oppressive.

BLM must be dealt with as Israel deals with Hamas

“Black Lives Matter group defends Hamas terror as ‘desperate act of self-defense’ that ‘must not be condemned’”

I guess the Focus Group results are in and this is how the Democrats get on both sides of the Gaza issue. Officially, they side with Israel, but they tell their terrorist-wing to side with Hamas.

Pretty clever.

"[W]e must stand unwaveringly on the side of the oppressed."

Yeah like those oppressed who use donation money to buy mansions and are completely ignored by the same people busting Donald Trumps butt because he didn't return a library book.

Does that mean they’re planning similar attacks in our country?

What violence has been visited on the terrorists in Gaza, absent retribution for recent terrosist attacks?

BLM longs to do the same to white people in the USA. Their white cuck members would be the most vicious ones.

Probably. Don’t count on the FBI to look into it, though. Hell, they’re probably already looking the other way.
