Btw this woman didnt support BLM in the slightest lol.
Daily reminder that conflating Jewishness and Zionism is antisemitic (what the person in the screenshot is doing).
The Jewish people supporting black liberation are most likely anti Zionist
Uh…does she realize Jews who supported BLM would most likely have been anti-zionist since…you know…American cops train in Israel?
I’d love to see the Venn diagram of Jewish BLM protesters/ Israeli hostage flyer posters.
the Black liberation movement has been anti-Zionist at the minimum since the Black Panthers were around.
These responses, I’m going to get brain cancer…
American black civil rights groups have always ALWAYS stood in 100% solidarity with the Palestinian people. They recognize that they’re part of an identical struggle and demanding that black people rescind that solidarity because you want to do your genocide is the most psychotic unhinged murderous opinion you can have.
I have literally never wanted to be Stalin more than this exact moment.
This is one thing the left will always have that the right will never: solidarity.
Well, the billionaires have class solidarity, and
has a pseudo-solidarity with the billionaires he lives vicariously through, but that’s about it.At the bottom of left solidarity is that all beings stand to benefit from communism. We don’t need scapegoats or bag-holders for our practices to work. Our theoretical solidarity is limitless. Even a Fascist who surrenders and submits to intensive re-education may possibly partake.
Right solidarity works like a Ponzi scheme, requiring victims and suckers. Anxiety about being on the losing end of the equation is built-in, and is the shared interest at the root of their intrinsically precarious solidarity, which requires a steady increase in the supply of externalized human sacrifices to maintain the “peace”.

Wrong. If you stand with Palestine, you ain’t black, jack!
That is not entirely true. Dr. King, for example, spoke out in support of Israel. Had he not been murdered, I do not believe he would have maintained that support, but the fact remains that in the middle of the century, some movement leaders believed Israel to be a fundamentally progressive project, and were blind to the suffering of Palestinians.
I don’t want to give MLK a pass, but I was thinking about something similar: so many European communists in the 19th century had kinda bad takes on the USA (Marx and Engels included).
Obviously we are all products of our times, but I wonder if how much information we have at our disposal now (thanks to the internet) skews our perceptions of how easy it is to find out information, even things we are receptive to.
It was basically impossible to learn anything about anything back in the 90s. Like you could go to libraries and then you were limited to whatever they had, and if you knew it existed you could use inter-library loan. But, like, the limits of the world were newspapers, popular magazines, bookstores, and libraries. Good luck learning anythign without committing serious time to it.
Just getting exposed to it could be challenging, today you could have a Hexbear tell you on the Internet to read Lenin or post hog and, you know, go from there.
Good luck for that to happen before the Internet, especially if you lived in a reactionary or just lib territory
Even with so much access to information, almost everyone still gets almost all their information from local sources they trust, in their native language. Actively seeking out foreign news and blogs is a good counter to this. Browser translation is excellent these days.
Kind of like how liberals are co fused why the Irish have such a consistent history of supporting Palestine.
Wild how empathy is actually a foreign concept to them if it can’t be weaponized.
I guess their support was conditional
Transactional “allyship”.
“You want security, cool just dont look over in this general area and ignore the screams. If you dont, it just shows you didnt actually deserve that safety you wanted”
The black community, famous for supporting segregation and apartheid.
An Uncle Ruckus from Boondocks emoji would be great right now.
As if Jewish people are part of one monolith, what is she on about
“What do you mean ‘stop calling you Rhodesian?’ You’re white!”
The Jews who marched with BLM also protested the occupation, Michelle. They’ve done so again, and again, and again. If you want a zionist’s take on BLM, ask Ron DeSantis.
Liberals like to pretend they’ve done something so they can threaten to stop doing things. It’s like the liberal version of collective bargaining except they have done nothing.
Yeah makes me think of that one Amy Schumer post where she was like “I stood with immigrants I stood with Black people” ect lol
Can someone with a twitter account ask her about what happened to black Ethiopian Jews in Israel?
“why don’t the people who protested cops murdering unarmed people support us murdering unarmed people? must be anti semitism.”
Armed civilians are also entitled to due process, rather than summary execution
And their spirit is still here in the Jews marching for and with Palestinians today.
Zionist Jews claiming to speak for all Jews
It still trips me up so hard when people conflate Zionism and Jewishness because it runs so antithetical to my personal experiences.
The first time I heard about Palestine was over a decade ago when I was but a young kid. It was on a bumper sticker on my friend’s mom’s car. “Palestine: the worlds largest open air prison.” Probably first saw it when I went to their place for latkes around Hanukkah. From then on I just assumed the default Jewish position was to free Palestine so it still makes me crazy when I see this conflation.
I said Rosa Parks was good, so you should support me beating my kids. Why is that so hard to understand?
