BLM: Israel guilty of genocide of Palestinians, stop US aid

Jewish groups decry Black Lives Matter platform's view on Israel

By Julie Zauzmer August 5
Dozens of Black Lives Matter organizations jointly released a wide-ranging platform Monday spelling out standpoints on dozens of issues.

On almost all of the issues — including education, food insecurity, criminal sentencing and policing — progressive Jewish groups heartily agree. But the new platform's stance on Israel has angered major Jewish organizations.

The platform calls for an end to U.S. federal aid for Israel. By providing aid, the platform argues, the United States is "complicit in the genocide taking place against the Palestinian people." Criticizing the construction of Israeli settlements in Palestinian areas and the arrest of young Palestinians, it describes Israel as "an apartheid state."

Who would have thought a racial supremacist organisation would also be antisemitic?

I for one am shocked, shocked!

These threads of forced angst sure are tiring.

Black lives matter is a racial supremacist group?

Black lives matter is a racial supremacist group?

Their demands include free college education and minimum guaranteed income (not wage!) for all black people, special subsidies for businesses owned by blacks, special funding for majority-black universities, etc. That's pretty racist/racial supremacist to me. In fact the only country I can think of with similar law-enshrined discriminatory treatment based on race is apartheid South Africa.

Is being more Jewish than CDM your new shtick?

Don't you know he's rather impressionable and will take to heart what you say? Shame on you.

....All I've seen from them is stop shooting black people for no reason.
Didn't even realise it was a centralised political party.

It's not. It's just that the idea of a political group of African-Americans haunts the nightmares of white supremacists.

For you, that may be true.  Some of the rest of us see that the BLM movement is bogging itself down in nonsense politics, which discredits their original and legitimate message and greatly reduces their moral high ground.  it's not the first mass movement to be taken over by egotists pushing personal agendas, and won't be the last, but it s sad to see it happening.

[Oexmelin]

Oh, yes. I am sure some of the rest of you hold all sorts of funky ideas.

[grumbler]

Oh, yes. I am sure some of the rest of you hold all sorts of funky ideas.

And I am sure that you are far more in tune with the mindset of white supremacists than most of us.

[Oexmelin]

It may be true. I read writings of slaveholders every day after all.
