Anti-Israel activists, usually acting under the banner of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement, repeatedly try to hijack unrelated causes to turn them against Israel.
We have documented such actions many times, including with regard to
Ferguson (Michael Brown) and
Baltimore (Freddie Gray) riots,
Eric Garner protests, the
Standing Rock Sioux pipeline protest, domestic
U.S. police shootings,
Reclaim MLK marches, and the
Black Lives Matter movement,
among others.
None of this is solidarity. It's conquest of other peoples and movements to redirect them to and focus attention on the BDS anti-Israel agenda. It is a form of Settler Colonialism,
BDS is a Settler Colonial Ideology.
Not surprisingly, BDS groups are attempting to inject themselves into and dominate the anti-Trump protests and riots.
