“Ferguson Anti-Police Brutality Protesters Take Historic Trip To Palestine,” by Moreh B.D.K., Reagan Ali and M.A. Hussein, Counter Current News, January 13, 2015:
Recently, a number of representatives from the Dream Defenders, Black Lives Matter and various Ferguson anti-police brutality protesters made history through a solidarity trip to Palestine.
The purpose of last week’s trip was to connect with activists living under Israeli occupation.
The 10-day trip to the occupied Palestinian Territories, specifically in the West Bank, was organized to show a link between oppression emanating from the Israeli State as well as that which victims of police brutality are experiencing in America.
Ahmad Abuznaid, the legal and policy director of the Dream Defenders, as well as the co-organizer of the delegation, explained that the trip was all about making connections, and seeing beyond single-issue causes.
“The goals were primarily to allow for the group members to experience and see first hand the occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality Israel has levied against Palestinians, but also to build real relationships with those on the ground leading the fight for liberation,” Abuznaid said.
“In the spirit of Malcolm X, Angela Davis, Stokely Carmichael and many others, we thought the connections between the African American leadership of the movement in the US and those on the ground in Palestine needed to be reestablished and fortified.”
Furthermore, he said that the American activists hoped to collaborate and teach organizing and protest strategies that have worked well in the United States, to their Palestinian brothers and sisters.
“As a Palestinian who has learned a great deal about struggle, movement, militancy and liberation from African Americans in the US, I dreamt of the day where I could bring that power back to my people in Palestine. This trip is a part of that process.”
The co-founder of the Black Lives Matter movement, Patrisse Cullors commented that the first thing that came to mind when she saw the divisions between Israelis and Palestinians was apartheid.
“This is an apartheid state. We can’t deny that and if we do deny it we are apart of the Zionist violence. There are two different systems here in occupied Palestine. Two completely different systems. Folks are unable to go to parts of their own country. Folks are barred from their own country.”
Activist Cherrell Brown said there are numerous parallels between the violence perpetrated by the State of Israel against Palestinians and the police violence from the U.S. government which has taken so many African American lives.
“So many parallels exist between how the US polices, incarcerates, and perpetuates violence on the black community and how the Zionist state that exists in Israel perpetuates the same on Palestinians.
“This is not to say there aren’t vast differences and nuances that need to always be named, but our oppressors are literally collaborating together, learning from one another – and as oppressed people we have to do the same,” she concluded.
A complete list of the delegates who made this trip include five Dream Defenders (Phillip Agnew, Ciara Taylor, Steven Pargett, Sherika Shaw, Ahmad Abuznaid); Tef Poe and Tara Thompson from Ferguson/Hands Up United; journalist Marc Lamont Hill, Cherrell Brown and Carmen Perez of Justice League NYC; Charlene Carruthers from the Black Youth Project; as well as poet and artist Aja Monet; Patrisse Cullors of Black Lives Matter; and USC doctoral student Maytha Alhassen.
jihad3tracker says
I HAVE NO DOUBT WHATSOEVER THAT STEALTH JIHADI MUSLIMS IN THE U.S. ARE CONSTANTLY NETWORKING WITH BLACK RADICALS AND “SOCIAL JUSTICE” PERSONS.
Black on white violence which these Muslim traitors help to instigate has escalated to the point of a WELL-PLANNED SNIPER TRIANGULATION MASSACRE IN DALLAS TEXAS last night — a true tactical assault..
If the FBI is diligent and lucky with perpetrator computers and phones having evidence trails, we may get an idea of how deeply domestic jihad has spread all across America.
MS Case says
Right you are tracker……This black lives matter mess needs to be put to sleep along with all those other radical black.movements that don’t have American…and I mean All AMERICANS values in the forefront… and especially if there is even a shadow of Islamic terrorism involved…LIKE CAIR or other Muslim groups associated with the Muslim Brotherhood…..Hmmmmm is there any that aren’t associated with that Brotherhood?????
rabrooks says
Don’t get it confused. There is a major difference in the “black american mudslime” movement and pislam as practiced across the pond. According to the koran, mad-moe’ had a special “title” for his black slaves. Remember the shia/sunni chasim. They kill each other for gp. Many consider American mudslimes as apostates. They ae crazier than we can possiblly imagine.
The Remorseless Headsman says
Not a chance. Comey has demonstrated that the FBI has become as corrupt as the IRS and Supreme Court. Just another tool for this corrupt administration. Whatever evidence turns up, it will be buried to further the Soros/Obama plan for America. Wait, doesn’t George Bush live near Dallas? Perhaps they will discover that GB supplied the weapons just like “Fast and Furious”.
jihad3tracker says
Hello R.H. — You argue persuasively against what I wrote (above). As an observer since 1963, of American law enforcement behavior — and malfeasance — at the highest level, I know how completely corrupted it can be.
But here is what gives me some hope: the absolutely certain degree of intervention by Republicans in getting to truth; many senior and ranking members of committees with a duty to ensure there is no cover-up are finally aware of Black below-the-radar jihad motivators.
Kathy Brown, Esq. says
You’re EXACTLY right Remorseless.
Day by day Obama lays waste to every single foundational American institution. I woke up the day after Comey’s betrayal and thought, ‘Oh my God! There’s no FBI anymore!’.
Later in the day I got an email from a colleague: ‘Kathy-where do we report it now, when we get death threats from the muslims?’
Answer: NOWHERE.
Pong says
George “nucular” Bush opened the door for Obama. I remember his stupid face, when, following 9.11, he pronounced islam to be a “religion of peace”. Today’s problems with islam should be blamed on Bush even more then on Obama. His role in potential loss of millions of lives should not be forgiven nor forgotten. In contest of the worst president in american history, his name is high on the list. Without Bush there wouldn’t be Obama.
My list is: 1. Bush, 2. Obama, 3. Carter.

I find the lack of diversity in that picture… disturbing. Where are blond-haired, green/blue-eyed white people?
See? Intersectionalism – the same logic that tells us that you’re not a feminist unless you’re also vegan – for what is poultry and dairy if not the exploitation of female bodies to obtain eggs and milk? Oh, they’re animals? Why, you speciesist!!!

What you see is the black equivalent of the KKK…. Racism of the politically correct and politically protected variety.
African infidel says
It is very unfortunate that BLM is linking up with islamic jihadists as it gives islamic stealth jihadists in the US like ‘CAIR’ and others like them political ammunition to justify their jihadism cause as a civil rights movement similar to BLM. What are the non-governmental orgs and concerned US citizens are going to do to prevent BLM to be hijacked by the jihadists? It also very sad that the US police seems to be very trigger happy to execute citizens and especially black citizens with impunity. My advice to the Back people in the US to move back to Africa and leave USA and I sincerely believe that is very good for both sides! Africa is largely empty and a single African country such as DRC can absorb all the 30 millions blacks in America and will still remain half empty!
African infidel says
correction:
I meant to say “Black People” in the US to move back…
Lookmann says
DRC ?
Where (islamic) Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) are liquidating non-Muslims ? ( also Blacks)
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Allied_Democratic_Forces#2013_resurgence
African infidel says
To Lookman
Yes, DRC will definitely be safer for the Blacks in America and they won’t have to worry about the racist, killer police in the US anymore. No credible islamic jihadists in the DRC, the country is largely Christian or animistic.
rabrooks says
The only thing that American Blacks and African Blacks have in common is skin color and nostalgia and not much else. Notice the term “African” and “American”? Africa is a continent. Rarely are any of it’s (particularly sub-saharian) countries ever mentioned.
African infidel says
To rabrooks
You are right, there is huge difference btwn blacks in Africa and the ones in America.
Africans don’t understand the culture and worldview of black Americans and vice versa.
To many Africans, Black Americans are lost brothers who lost everything else but their skin color but within a generation they will catch up and become real Africans and leave their negative and cultureless mentality behind.

balafama says
my sentiments exactly. they are quite stupid because arabs will re-enslave them in a heart beat. if they want true liberation they should focus on africa ,on building the continent, ensuring peace and stability and a place where every black will be proud to call home. african americans since mlk have suffered from a dearth of good leadership as evidenced by numerous black ghettoes,high crime rate, poor family structure and a perpetual play at victimhood. interesting that black americans today have more rights than any other group of blacks on the planet, but they are the group that screams and chants racism at every turn. i really despair they are been led astray. they will be the worst victims of an unstable america .
Pong says
“Building the continent” is impossible. The borders of the african states are totally artificial and should be redrawn. There is not a single african state with one official language, some have more then 7!!!
Black, with very few exceptions, are the plague of america. Africa, with its totality of black population, is beyond salvation. Wars, corruption, genocide are the integral part of african reality for years to come. Moving (28-29 millions) American blacks to Africa would not benefit the continent, but will be the greatest blessing for America.
Jay Boo says
Getting a bit looney there.
I suspect that blacks want the same basic things as anyone else.
The news media whores are the main problem. They are parasites who have their own agenda to exploit conflict while pandering to every Left of center special interest group. If they told the truth and did not fabricate to instigate, there would be less hatred all around.
African infidel says
To Pong
Africa is 52 independent countries and there are only few who have wars and only one of them (Rwanda) had genocide twenty years ago so your characterization is bit negative.
Most African countries are now peaceful and developing and US Blacks will become stable if they move there, that I am sure. There are already a number of US Blacks who moved to Africa, especially to Ghana and Liberia and opened successful busineses in those countries.

“It also very sad that the US police seems to be very trigger happy to execute citizens and especially black citizens with impunity”
This is a lie. On a proportional population basis, whites are slightly more likely to be shot by the police than blacks are. And in the vast majority of cases, it is a justified act. Even though blacks are vastly more likely than whites, to be involved in criminal behaviour, including murder, in spite of being a fraction of the white population.
Listening to blm about whites, is like listening to the kkk about blacks…. everything you hear, will be crap.
John Marst says
This makes perfect sense. Victimhood whores of the world unite!
Kay says
This is a dangerous turn of events. We need to pray for our “black” churches (where most of the congregation is black.) They are strong but this thrust to define what it means to be black is insidious.
Decades ago I interacted with Muslims in college. Even back then they espoused joining together on a cause even if later we’d part ways. They are well-practiced in using various sub-groups’ struggles for advancement to their own (evil) ends. So they ride a horse until they find a more useful one. See now how they phrase wearing hijab as “freedom “. But in countries that have known some freedom, women don hijab out of fear.
All true peace loving people need to join together or they will use us against each other.
African infidel says
Kay
You are very right. Blacks in the US don’t understand the evilness of islam they need to be awakened!
balafama says
yes we need to pray .groups like cair, sjp, isna, are using these BLM and other civil rights groups as leverage to advance their islamic supremacist causes and proselytize, but some of these ignorant black americans in their victimhood mentality will fall into fire . their sole focus on white supremacy being the cause of all their problems hinders them from being objective .arabs hate blacks ,blacks are treated despicably in arab countries and called slaves . the arab muslim can never be your ally ,they only pretend while sneering behind them.
if we look carefully when american blacks started imbibing the teachings of black liberationist theology , embracing islamization of black communities and renouncing their traditional christian values that had strengthened them during slavery/jim crow was when the black family started to fall apart . these ideologies are very focused on hatred of western ideology without offering any productive alternatives on nation building, they only assuage ”aggrieved feelings” . islam has no work ethics besides conquests.
PJG says
I have been quite disturbed by the change I notice in many South Sudanese who have been brought to my country as refugees. Over time, they have a developed a strident “anti-white” mentality and far from being grateful for our help to them, have jumped on this “white racism” bandwagon, especially now. I have tried to tell them they are being manipulated by Muslims anxious to make Western anti-Islam movements all about race, but they won’t listen.
African infidel says
To PJG
I am sorry to hear your experience with the Southern Sudanese! Where is your country?
I believe there is huge cultural GAP btwn Western people and Africans and as a result of that cultural gap misunderstandings can go up and that always leads to suspicions of ‘racism’ etc. I believe it best for Africans to stay in Africa and make their lives there.
That is very good for both sides!
Don McKellar says
Black Lives Matter needs to be recognized for what it has become: a terrorist group. And a terrorist group with Islamic ties.

Richie says
BLM is a repackaged Occupy Wallstreet movement- it has the same people, many hard left white anarchists and Marxisst, and hard left Marxist black supremacists- They do NOT speak for all black people
Lookmann says
These (hopefully few) misguided Afros and Koran-guided Muslims have one common goal ie destroying the White nations.
Because the White world is the only stumbling block to the Muslim dream of a ‘Shariafied Globe’
Muslims treated Africans as slaves only. Look why South Sudan had to secede from Arab -dominated Sudan.
In western nations Blacks can fight for and win their rights.
In sharia lands no such protection of law. Afro-Americans better understand this.
PJG says
If you saw how many Muslims are in South Sudan now, you would be stunned that the South Sudanese would let them in. But there they are. The call to prayer calls out from every mosque in every town; the Eid payer line-up in Juba was massive. While the South Sudanese fight each other, the Muslims are quietly establishing themselves, no doubt with the help of Khartoum.
African infidel says
To PJG
You are right I believe. But rest assured South Sudanese will never be dominated by islam again. More thatn any other African nation they do understand what islam brings to them and they lost millions fighting it for generations. The problem in the South Sudan currently is tribal wars between the Dinka and Nuer and some muslims are probably trying to take advantage of this conflict.
John Barron says
Many African Americans should look carefully into the origin of their ancestral slave origins. True, it was the ‘white man’ who brought them to such places as America, however, the majority of the unfortunate people were bought/traded from Muslim captors. The slave trade is still alive and well in many Muslim dominated countries.
To become a Muslim or to support Islam by finding kindred ‘links’ is to approve of their ideals, is it not?

Black Lives Matter is a left-wing fascist organization that is steeped in hatred of America. It is also a profoundly mendacious organization. For instance, it attributed the Orlando massacre to, get this, white supremacy and capitalism.
America is the first overwhelmingly majority white nation to elect a black to the highest office in the land. It is arguably the least racist country on earth. The entire white privilege nonsense, perpetrated by Black Lives Matter and many others, especially that extra clueless group, academics, is, as Angemon noted some time ago, just a rejiggering of the Marxist class conflict rot. All totalitarian ideologies and organizations set up a pernicious “us versus them” paradigm. Nazism does it with ethnic groups. Marxism traditionally with socio-economic groups. Islam with non-believers. And now with an organization like Black Lives Matter with whites and especially white cops. All such totalitarian entities hate freedom and lie over and over again about the facts.
Here is an important fact that the Left will not acknowledge: A young black person who comes from an in tact family and is motivated to succeed will have NOTHING standing in that person’s way by white America, whether in business, law, medicine, education, entertainment, athletics, politics, et al. Here is another fact: The greatest enemy of black America is black America, what with massive out-of-wedlock birth, a pathetic reliance on the federal government, a victim-oriented mentality, et al. I would add that there is no group of Americans I admire more than black conservatives who realize all this but must put up with all kinds of calumny from fellow blacks and white liberals for asserting what they do. Why just today I heard a black on a radio show call Clarence Thomas an Uncle Tom. Disgusting.
In 2015 there were 990 killings by policemen in America. 38 of these 990 were of blacks without a gun. This is hardly an epidemic or anything close to it and, moreover, often times someone without a gun is still dangerous (e.g., Michael Brown in Ferguson). The vast majority of black men in America who are killed are killed by fellow black men. Yet it’s the police held up as the bad guy by a despicable organization like Black Lives Matter, which, no surprise, as evidenced by this article, is making common cause with the so-called Palestinians and at least implicitly depicting Israel, the only free nation in the entire Middle East, as the culprit. BLM is just another leftist organization which is, no surprise, making common cause with Islam since leftism and Islam are both totalitarian in make-up. Just as Islam disgusts me, so does BLM, as does the Left in general.
Angemon says
“Black Lives Matter” would, IMO, be more accurately described as “Black Tantrums Matter”. What happened after last year’s attacks in Paris? BLM “activists” started the hashtag #FuckParis because the brutal murder of innocent passers-by and people looking for a night out, partaking in the local culture and entertainment, at the hands of barbaric followers of mad ‘mo (but I repeat myself) was “stealing” their thunder. Same thing after Brussels and Orlando – how dare people feel sorry for anything else than the plight of BLM, and care for anything that’s not their narrative?
Wellington says
Thanks for that link, Angemon. You know, another feature of the totalitarian mindset is narcissism, as demonstrated by this video with that completely underwhelming human being who spoke at the beginning. Well, as you indicated, BLM would be more appropriately described as Black Tantrums Matter.

More evidence that “Black Lives Matter” is not and never was about grass roots anger at Police. It is run by hard core marxist activists who are wanting a revolution and Police killing black people is a convenient rallying cry. So no surprise they would want to link up with “Palestinians” and other “oppressed peoples”. No doubt it won’t be long before muslims are reclassified as “black people”. I wonder who paid for the tour to the “Palestinian territories” ? George Soros?
“This is an apartheid state”
Ah yes, never mind Palestinian Arab political parties in Israel hold 17 seats in the Israeli parliament (I think that is the number) The ANC never had that sort of political representation in apartheid era South Africa so the comparison is ridiculous. Then these people don’t deal with truth or facts.
