Israel war: Black activist slams BLM for backing barbarism against Israel

An activist for the black community is slamming Black Lives Matter members across the United States for backing the barbarism taking place against Israelis and supporting Hamas’s terrorism.

Pastor Dumisani Washington, founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, bashed the “demonizing” of Israel by BLM supporters and condemned those pushing the narrative that Zionism is racism, according to a report.

“The price that’s paid for organizations like Black Lives Matter to feign concern about Baltimore, Oakland, Ferguson … to feign concern only to use those people and even the deaths there to then demonize Israel some 6,000 miles away is an evil beyond description,” he said.

“People are being destroyed for the sake of antisemitism and anti-Zionism. … How are we defending the people of Gaza by celebrating this type of blood and gore?”

Criticism from Washington arrives in the wake of at least two BLM groups openly declaring support for the Palestinian cause despite the death of at least 27 Americans in Israel and the capture of men, women, and children by Hamas, the report noted.

“Black Lives Matter Grassroots stands in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting [75] years of settler colonialism and apartheid,” Black Lives Matter Grassroots posted on Instagram.

The group argued that because black Americans understand what it means to be dehumanized and criminalized, they have a duty to support the crumbling of borders, checkpoints, and prisons that are used to oppress.

“For lasting peace to come, the entire apartheid system must be dismantled,” the post read. “The war on the Palestinian people must cease.”

A similar sentiment was echoed by a Chicago Black Lives Matter chapter that posted an “I Stand With Palestine” graphic.

“I would challenge those individuals that if they are really people of conscience, really people of justice, who would then either celebrate, or even just as bad, sit back and be silent while children are killed and abducted, then the moral problem that they’re having is not the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it’s them. They would have to look at themselves in the mirror,” Washington said. “If you are someone co-signing on this barbarism in this war, that means some of that blood is on your hands.”

The message and false ideology spread by BLM can also be seen in its drive for critical race theory, according to Washington.

“This type of education, this type of reductive reasoning, it’s a dehumanization … which is what the Nazis did to the Jews, which is what racists did to black people. Once you dehumanize somebody, it doesn’t matter what you do to them. This is the danger of where we are in our nation right now,” he said. “Once a victim mentality has been sufficiently transferred into an individual, everything is game. Everything becomes a revolutionary struggle. Everything becomes [about] breaking the bands of the power of the oppressor.”

“This is one of the reasons why Black Lives Matter, its leaders, and its ideology will still look at the horrific images that we’re seeing and justify it,” he continued. “It’s, ‘I don’t have to think, I don’t have to have real empathy.’ I can just affix a label so that even though I’m seeing the horrific things that we’re seeing, mothers, children, elderly, I can just look at that as, ‘Hey, that’s just the price that you pay when people want their freedom, right?’ And those are the types of things that are being said.”
