\"Marie<\/p>\n

There are plenty of reasons to oppose the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement. The violence and the division, for starters.<\/p>\n

And\u00a0Project 21<\/a><\/strong> member Marie Fischer<\/a><\/strong> has another \u2013 its opposition to America\u2019s ally, Israel.<\/p>\n

During Israel\u2019s recent conflict with Hamas terrorists, radical BLM activists tweeted<\/a><\/strong>: \u201cBlack Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cAs a Jewish woman who is also black, it causes me great concern,\u201d Marie writes in a commentary<\/a><\/strong> on \u201cThe Jerusalem Connection\u201d website.<\/p>\n

She adds:<\/p>\n

BLM openly throwing support behind \u201cPalestinians\u201d seems to be a calculated effort to open up a new and invigorated front to convert black Americans and woke corporate community leaders who now listen to BLM to the anti-Israel crusade.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Marie notes that she has already been critical of BLM for \u201cmaking martyrs of the undeserving,\u201d \u201cprofit[ing] off the truly deserving\u201d and \u201ccompletely ignor[ing] blacks killed by other blacks,\u201d she also makes it clear:<\/p>\n

I take issue with BLM vilifying the Jewish nation of Israel as \u201ccolonizers\u201d and an \u201capartheid state\u201d\u2014 equating the Palestinian issue with black American history and effectively siding with Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists\u2026<\/p>\n

Israel operates nothing like apartheid-era South Africa. Sadly, injustices inflicted upon the Palestinian people are often by their own people. Yet BLM compares the plight of Palestinians to black Americans. It\u2019s far from reality, and it cheapens both narratives.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cComparing these two situations is apples to oranges, Marie explains. \u201cThe only similarity is that BLM and their progressive allies bestow both groups with victimhood status \u2013 asking others to intervene.\u201d<\/p>\n

Of course, promotion of the anti-Israel Boycott, Divestment, Sanctions (BDS<\/a><\/strong>) movement is a priority of the left that\u2019s beginning to gain steam. It is popular on college campuses, and even Ben & Jerry\u2019s<\/a><\/strong> has put parent company Unilever at risk<\/a><\/strong> by refusing to do business in Israel. And all this is for politics rather than human rights:<\/p>\n

Black Lives Matter leaders are no more working on behalf of the Palestinian people as they seem to be truly working for all black lives. Instead, like many special interests, they are virtue-signaling to attract more attention to themselves. Their main goal is not unity, but sowing the seeds of division \u2013 not only in America, but wherever they can. The goal is to divide, conquer and pave the way for their way of ruling the world \u2013 whether or not it is fair and just for all.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
