Black Lives Matter chapters show solidarity with Hamas following attacks on Israel.
Far-Left Black Lives Matter Chapters Express Support for Palestinians Amidst Israel Attacks
Amidst the recent terror attacks launched by Hamas in Israel, far-left chapters of Black Lives Matter have shown support for Palestinians, even going as far as endorsing the murder of Jews. These chapters, including Black Lives Matter Grassroots and Black Lives Matter Chicago, have expressed solidarity with Palestinians, claiming that their actions are a desperate act of self-defense against decades of apartheid and violence.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots stated, “When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense.” They further emphasized their support for Palestinians who are resisting settler colonialism and apartheid, comparing their struggles to those of the Palestinian people.
Black Lives Matter Chicago took their support a step further by posting a photo featuring a paratrooper with a Palestinian flag, stating, “I stand with Palestine.” This image is significant as many of the Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel crossed the border with parachutes.
It is important to note that these statements and actions have drawn strong international condemnation, as they endorse violence and overlook the devastating consequences of the attacks. The situation calls for a deeper understanding of the complexities involved and a commitment to finding peaceful resolutions.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots Statement:
“We, too, understand what it means to be surveilled, dehumanized, property seized, families separated, our people criminalized and slaughtered with impunity, locked up in droves, and when we resist they call us terrorists. We, too, dream of a world where our people may live freely on decolonized land. May the borders, checkpoints, prisons, police and watchlists that terrorize our communities crumble and may the world we build from their ashes honor those who have fallen in struggle.”
Black Lives Matter Grassroots Demands:
- Dismantling of the entire apartheid system
- Cease of the war on the Palestinian people
- Immediate stop to U.S. funding of war
- Redirecting $4 billion in annual spending from the Israeli military to repair the damage caused by U.S.-backed wars, military air strikes, coups, and destabilizing interventions against oppressed people around the world

Black Lives Matter Chicago’s Controversial Post:
“Utterly sickening from Black Lives Matter in Chicago. And they have used an image of a paraglider like the ones who swooped into an Israeli music festival and murdered, raped, mutilated, and paraded beaten civilians back to Gaza.”
It is crucial to approach these sensitive issues with empathy, understanding, and a commitment to peaceful dialogue and resolution.
Why do critics argue that the Black Lives Matter movement should focus on addressing racial injustice within the United States rather than involving itself in international conflicts?
Rocket attacks on Israel originated from Gaza, which is controlled by Hamas. By openly expressing support for Palestine, Black Lives Matter Chicago appears to be endorsing the actions of the terrorist group.
This public support for Palestinians has caused controversy within the Black Lives Matter movement itself. Some members have criticized these far-left chapters for aligning with a group that promotes violence and attacks civilians. Critics argue that the Black Lives Matter movement should focus on addressing issues of racial injustice within the United States, rather than involving itself in international conflicts.
Furthermore, endorsing the murder of Jews is morally reprehensible and contradicts the principles of equality and justice that the Black Lives Matter movement claims to stand for. Advocating for the rights of one marginalized group while endorsing violence against another is not only hypocritical but also perpetuates divisiveness and hatred.
It is important to note that while these far-left chapters of Black Lives Matter express support for Palestinians, their views do not represent the entire movement. The call for racial equality and justice that Black Lives Matter advocates for has resonated with people around the world, who support the movement’s efforts to combat systemic racism and police brutality. However, the actions of a few chapters should not overshadow the broader goals of the movement.
In order to maintain its credibility and continue making progress in the fight against racial injustice, the Black Lives Matter movement should distance itself from these far-left chapters and clearly condemn any form of violence, including attacks on civilians. By staying focused on the issues at hand and promoting peaceful methods of protest and change, Black Lives Matter can inspire real and lasting progress in the pursuit of equality for all.
