This is a cynical, exploitative, sham.
Arabs are viciously racist against blacks. Viciously.
The Arabic word abeed for “black person” is the same as the word for “slave.”
Arabic TV is full of racist tropes and blackface.
Anti-black racism permeates Arabic literature.
The Arabs were the driving force of slavery in the East and many of their slaves came from Africa. A fact the Arabs not just haven’t forgotten, but one they are proud of. They think of it as a mark of superiority that they were the slaver and not the slave.
Black Africans are still being sold as slaves in Arab lands today.
So why would Palestinians support black lives matter?
Why would they give a fuck about a black American, considering that they by and large hate both black people and Americans?
They don’t. This is cold political calculus. They act in an intersectional way and white Legftits will claim solidarity with them. This is nothing more than a means to turn white Leftists towards the Palestinians and against Israel.
The Arabs suck at way. Boy howdy, do they suck at war.
What they are good at is manipulating the emotions of white Leftists, and this is another example of it.
I’m still trying to figure out if “Legftits“ is a typo, or Hebrew.
Not enough covfefe, I think.
A liberal, by definition, is someone so open minded that they will not take their own side in an argument.
Also, one so open minded that he is unable to use correct English grammar.
