The Black Lives Matter chapter in Chicago publicly backed the Palestinian terrorists who killed some 1,200 Israelis over the weekend with a post that read “I Stand with Palestine” and an image of a Hamas paraglider. The Mail has more.
A graphic posted to the group’s social media accounts shows an image of a paraglider with a Palestinian flag pointing out of his parachute – similar to the terrorists who paraglided into an Israeli music festival to viciously murder innocent attendees.
As has been the case in most major U.S. cities, pro-Palestinian protestors gathered Monday on the streets of Chicago to cheer on the Palestinian cause, which in this latest bout of terrorism has led to, among other things, the beheading of babies.
It’s not clear that the Chicago BLM branch were among the protestors in Chicago.
BLM Chicago is just one of the many BLM branches around the country, including the entire grassroots organisation, that has publicly backed Palestinian fighters over Israel in the days since the attacks on Israel began.
The Chicago branch has shared to its social media pages graphics that explicitly blame Israel for the barbaric terror attacks conducted by Hamas terrorists, because of their “apartheid regime”‘
The organisation also attempted to sow division along racial lines by posting a graphic displaying images of celebrities who have spoken out in support for Israel in recent days.
The image included Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Kylie Jenner, and Madonna, and contrasted them with those who support or have supported the Palestinian cause, who include Angela Davis, Malala, Malcolm X and Nelson Mandela.
“Notice anything about those who support Israel and those who support Palestine?” reads the graphic, implying that people of color should align themselves against white people in support of the Palestinians.
Since its founding the Black Lives Matter movement has supported the Palestinian cause, frequently referring to Israel, its people and its Governments as oppressors.
In the spring of 2021, when Israel and the Palestinians last traded rockets, BLM released several statements in support of Palestinians, and against Israelis, whom they called settler colonialists.

Brendan O’Neill in the Spectator wonders aloud where the ‘anti-fascists’ like Antifa are now that something redolent of actual fascism is happening.
To the modern Left, everything is fascism except actual fascism. Everything is ‘like the 1930s’ except the slaughter of Jewish youths, the kidnapping of Jewish grandmothers, the rise of mobs demanding a second Holocaust. …
Back Brexit and they’ll call you far Right. Say a man can never become a woman and they’ll brand you a fellow traveller of fascism. Wonder out loud if we should try to do something about illegal immigration and they’ll say, “This is starting to feel a bit 1930s”.
But wipe out entire Jewish families? Gun down Jewish festivalgoers? Kidnap an elderly woman who survived the Holocaust? Mock Jews on the streets of our cities? Then they’ll erm and ahh. That’s ‘resistance’ apparently, not racism. It’s a rebellion, not fascism. It’s a “day of celebration”, as Novara Media’s commissioning editor said of Hamas’s invasion of Israel on Saturday, not a return of the bigotries of the 1930s.
Surely nothing better captures the moral disorientation of the radical Left than the fact that they are more likely to use the word ‘fascist’ about their own fellow citizens who voted Leave or who defend women-only spaces than they are about a radical Islamist in Gaza who spits on the dead body of a woman who was murdered on the presumption that she was Jewish.

As I’ve penned previously, it’s a sad day when I’m thankful that at 75, I’m in life’s Departure lounge, and not Arrivals. What a crap hole the world has become, and it’s gonna get worse before it gets better I fear. (If indeed it gets better).
”The age of child grooming and increased paedophilia under trans extremism will be over.”
Oh I don’t know about that. Once they get Sharia law instated they’ll be able to marry children and have as many wives as they wish. It’s what their precious book permits. Child brides are considered normal in Islamic countries.

As ever, I like this guy’s assessment of the situation. Nobody should be picking sides and nobody should be celebrating deaths of innocents on either side of the fence. Deaths to the sick terrorists though I can get behind. ( <2mins )

You’re right though, they do often breed like rabbits. My daughter’s classmate is from Somalia and she is 1 of 7 kids. Even with child support I don’t know how they can afford all of that expense! Another problem is how the kids inevitably turn out if they’re learning unhealthy attitudes and behaviours from the parents ( applicable to all ethnicities, I know ), which this poor teacher in Germany found out the hard way after he was hospitalized by two of his pupils;
”Two students from a high school in Berlin, Germany, have been suspended following a violent altercation with a teacher. The incident happened during a celebration of a Hamas attack on Israel, sparking concerns about the spread of violent ideologies among the youth.
The conflict escalated when one student brandished a Palestinian flag during the celebration. When the teacher asked the student to put the flag away, the student responded violently, striking the teacher in the head and kicking him in the stomach. Another student joined in the attack, leading to the teacher’s hospitalization.
The incident took place in Neukölln, a district in Berlin known for its high concentration of immigrants and socio-economic challenges. Over the weekend, locals were seen celebrating Hamas’ attack on Israel, raising questions about the influence of these events on young residents.”

The sick Netanyahu regime and the military leadership including Mossad, should rot in the same Hell as the murderous killers of the Israelis for allowing this false flag to happen and for the bloody collective punishment on the open air prison half full of children they are about to slaughter.
Nothing can excuse what happened in Israel over the weekend….I want to make that quite clear…
….but looking through the political lens questions will quite rightly be asked, about what led up to the event and how it happened ….
….. I have now listened to at least six different young people, including the Israeli reporter Efrat Fenigson, saying that there is no way that the Israeli forces could not have know that the border fence had been penetrated.
All of these young people have completed their service in the IDF, and are adamant that alarms, both underground and on the actual barricades…along with constant camera surveillance means that a cat approaching the fence usually sets off a huge military response …..
Fenigson tweeted on day 1 that it took over five hours for the military to arrive after the first alarm …’something is very wrong here’…..she said….
So what happened that day…? I suspect the Israeli people will demand answers….
I have posted this on the forum and it is worth watching….It’s a deeply humane and thought provoking discussion….
As Bret articulates…
The line between good and evil is, in this case, crystal clear–and it applies to us all. Barbarism is evil, especially carried out against civilians, immeasurably more so against children. Further, notions of collective guilt and punishment are incompatible with moral decency.

Slaughter of the innocents.
So, what do you think the score will be this time?
My money’s on the usual 200 Palestinians (mainly civilians/kids) as against maybe one or two Israelis, which is the usual sort of score when they’re “mowing the lawn”.
One thing’s for sure, it will be worse for both this time.
The RPTB have bigger fish to fry.
I have no time for this story.
It’s their problem one of a number of horrible things happening in the world I can’t do much about.
Furthermore, as always they are trying to herd us into an acceptable opinion.
It’s incredibly complicated and I just don’t want to form an opinion other than ordinary people will suffer, many by no fault of their own, and quite a few for their sins as useful idiots of their “side”.
I’m just glad I’m not there.
Yes I think they have every intention of allowing only one ‘acceptable’ opinion…
…it seems to be the only way now.
Thierry Breton has already sent this to Elon Musk..
“Following the terrorist attacks by Hamas against Israel we have indications of X/Twitter being used to disseminate illegal content & disinformation in the EU.”
Of course he doesn’t give any examples..so pretty much telling X to follow the agenda and ask no questions, or allow other views. I’m sure if something was truly awful X would moderate it..so you have to ask exactly what do they consider to be misinformation on this subject?
