In a movie that should not surprise anyone, since many Jewish groups have been opposed to BLM from the beginning, the human rights activists of BLM, have accused Israel of "Genocide" and "Apartheid". Lets remember the context of Black intellectuals such as Mark Lamount Hill being shut down by Israeli and Jewish groups and lobbyists.

Right-wing Jewish groups, including the Zionist Organization of America have condemned Black Lives Matter since the movement's early days.

Even before this, BLM have shown solidarity with the idegenous people of Palestine. It looks like Jewish people are turning on the movement of Black Lives Matters now.

Activists aligned with Black Lives Matter have frequently visited the occupied Palestinian West Bank in what some call "solidarity tours," as recently as July 30.

Flint said that calling Israel an apartheid state would only "muddy" Black Lives Matter's message. "Now people don't see Black Lives Matter as a legitimate platform."

Highly critical of the Jewish state — which it said "practices systematic discrimination and has maintained a military occupation of Palestine for decades" — the platform devoted a section to the US-Israel relationship. "The US justifies and advances the global war on terror via its alliance with Israel and is complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people," the text said.

The platform goes on to suggest America's close relationship with Israel and commitment to its security makes "US citizens complicit in the abuses committed by the Israeli government."

"Israel is an apartheid state with over 50 laws on the books that sanction discrimination against the Palestinian people," it continued. "Palestinian homes and land are routinely bulldozed to make way for illegal Israeli settlements. Israeli soldiers also regularly arrest and detain Palestinians as young as 4 years old without due process. Every day, Palestinians are forced to walk through military checkpoints along the US-funded apartheid wall."

Maybe Israel's military should stop bombing kids if they don't want to be accused of genocide by human rights groups.

The establishment has destroyed the careers of black people who speak up for racial justice in Palestine. But the BLM is not having any of this. It's incredible they are using their influence to take on apartheid and racism outside of the US.

In Britain, the Muslim community and the BLM movement have also been walking hand in hand. Fighting racism. We need to band together and not allow injustice to be ignored.

I'm sure pro-Israel media would be against BLM criticism of Israeli government actions in any form. So unsurprising to learn, but go BLM for standing up to obvious human rights violations, even if it puts them in danger in the public eye and literally.

They were against BLM before anyone whispered a word about Palestine. Israel is hilariously racist. They don't even recognize Ethiopian Jews as actual Jews because they are black. It's a de facto (Ashkenazi) (white) Jewish ethnostate predicated on the same apartheid from South Africa and the Black Codes during Reconstruction in the US.
