‘BLM at School’ Releases Statement Blaming Israel for Hamas Attacks
“the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid”
Everything about this statement is wrong. Black Lives Matter affiliated groups are really tearing off their masks on this issue.
“The only lasting peace is a free Palestine.”
We open our hearts to the anger, the fear, and the rage that many are feeling. We feel grief alongside and with you and are committed to the responsibility we have to education and young people. We remain steadfast in our commitment to nurturing a shared vision to collectively love and care for one another as global and extended intergenerational families.
BLM@School wants to be clear in our recognition that this unfolding loss of Palestinian and Israeli lives is the direct result of decades of Israeli settler colonialism, land dispossession, occupation, blockade, apartheid, and attempted genocide of millions of Palestinians. Palestinians are reminding us that decolonization is not a metaphor or abstraction, but requires real, daily struggle.
Education should be wielded in service of struggle. The ongoing fight to #TeachTruth in the U.S. must include Palestinian existence, resistance, culture, global contributions, and the ongoing struggle to realize a free Palestine. It also must directly name the ways that U.S. imperialism has fueled and supported apartheid and war crimes. Educators need resources, support, and protection that honor the enduring struggle for realizing Palestinian justice. This is our offering at this time.
"BLM At School" has put out a statement and it's exactly what one would expect if they're familiar with the stated mission of the organization.
BLM never should have been in schools. I hope those who couldn't hear that before can hear it now. https://t.co/N5NDdkzwkK pic.twitter.com/aNy2JPWFOO

Black lives matter not to Black Lives Matter, otherwise why would that organization push for defunding the police? If black lives don’t matter to it, why should Jewish lives matters?
BLM is terrorist organization.
Its must be dismantled.
