You in BLM who have adopted as a slogan “I can’t breathe” – the words of George Floyd lying on the street with a policeman’s knee on his neck suffocating and killing him – how can you avert your gaze as Hamas, a murderous terror organization, suffocates Israeli civilians to death? Because I have news for you: We too are feeling a stranglehold, and we too can’t breathe.
We have not been able to breathe for 20 years now, during which we have been compelled to suffer and somehow live with missiles and rockets falling on our children, and this in order to avoid insofar as possible harming innocent people in the Gaza Strip.
We have been compelled to suffer and somehow live with slave revolts and muskets falling on our children, and this in order to avoid insofar as possible harming innocent slaves in the cotton field.
So let me tell you something about Israel, where most of the Jews are Brown people who came from the Arab countries and North Africa. Alongside them are Jews from Ethiopia, who are Black, in case you have forgotten.
Jamie, pull up the Israeli policies regarding Ethiopian Jews.
“Multi-culturalism” is not a progressive agenda or a slogan in Israel. It is our reality. This is a reality in which Jews who were persecuted in their countries of origin around the world returned to their ancestral land, where they created a liberal and democratic national home.
Democracy is when you exile millions of Palestinians into ghettos and restrict their movement, political rights, and basic necessities, and proceed to develop some of the most comprehensive and invasive surveillance technology the world has ever seen. Well, I’m not a liberal, so I know that democracy doesn’t automatically mean good - Israel is democratic. Many Israelis support these policies and only get upset when Palestine isn’t being oppressed enough.
And the struggle is not between “White rulers” and “oppressed indigenous people.” It is not between Blacks and Whites. Nor is it a struggle between Israelis and Palestinians. This struggle is between good and evil. Period. It is a war against one of the most dangerous and extreme terrorist groups in the world.
So true. Glad to see the writer came around to seeing the IDF for what it is.
And those Jews who survived the Holocaust in Europe created an alliance of brotherhood and stood beside Martin Luther King and the Blacks in their struggle for equal rights in the United States in the 1960s, the days of racial segregation. And there is no need for an occult reader to know what Dr. King, the great leader, would have said about your doctrine, BLM, against Jews. You have completely lost your moral compass and ability to stand on the right side of history.
Maybe King would’ve likely disproved of the praise for Hamas. But something tells me he wouldn’t have been too compassionate with Israel and the US working intimately to beat and kill minorities. Something also tells me that King was not the only important black figure during the civil rights era.
And had the founding father of Zionism, Theodore Herzl, succeeded with the 'Uganda scheme' and Israel been formed in what is today a part of Kenya, I'm sure you could've found an excuse for why Israel ancestrally deserved to exist in Kenya. Most if not all of the arguments Israel proposes for why it's good they exist they could use in Kenya too with the support of the 'international' community:
"If not for Israel, you'd just have another African government in the region"
"Israel is a progressive nation unlike its African neighbors"
"If Ugandans are allowed to return, they'd become a majority and the country would become a repressive conservative country"
"There are other African countries, why can't we have just this small place?"
"There was no Uganda, it was part of the British empire at the time!"
Few people know about this. Zionists and centrists think that Israel is some natural home for all Jews when in reality it's just a western colonial project that was going to manifest in a whole different continent
