As the layers of the Black Lives Matter movement are peeled back, it is being exposed as a group that is anti-white, anti-police, anti-West, and Marxist. It allies itself closely with jihadists, and incites violence not only in the UK, but also in America.
Melina Abdullah, the lead organizer of Black Lives Matter in Los Angeles and a professor of Pan-African Studies at Cal State, has been overt about her motives:
Melina Abdullah has a hateful record of appearing at Farrakhan and Nation of Islam events and praising the antisemitic hate group and its leader. When Facebook decided to remove Farrakhan over his hateful rhetoric toward Jews, the Black Lives Matter LA co-founder came to his defense.”
In a stunning declaration last year, Farrakhan declared himself to be Jesus and said he would fulfill Jesus’ mission, which he claimed was to “bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews.”
In a public speech, a Savior’s Day Address in Chicago, Farrakhan stated:
God does not love this world. God never sent Jesus to die for this world. Jesus died because he was 2,000 years too soon to bring about the end of the civilization of the Jews. He never was on no cross. There was no Calvary for that Jesus…The real story is what I tried to tell you from the beginning. It didn’t happen back there. It’s happening right while you’re alive looking at it….I represent the Messiah. I represent the Jesus and I am that Jesus. If I am not, take my life.”
In November 2018, Farrakhan lead a “Death to America” chant during a “solidarity trip to Iran.” Farrakhan even defends suicide bombers. Nevertheless, the Nation of Islam and its leaders received hundreds of thousands of dollars from the U.S. government beginning in 2008, to teach “religious study programs for federal prison inmates.”
So it should come as no surprise that the couple (David N. Anderson and Francine Graham) that murdered Jews in a violent rampage at a Jersey City kosher market in mid-December was said to be inspired by Farrakhan.
Since 2015, “Black Lives Matter delegations had traveled to the Middle East to endorse Palestinian terrorists in Gaza, Judea, and Samaria and pose for photo ops with the Palestinian flag. Statements from delegation leaders spoke of ‘occupation, ethnic cleansing and brutality’ that Israel supposedly has perpetrated against the region’s Arab-Muslim population.”
And still, Leftist Jewish groups have been supporting Black Lives Matter as a social justice cause, believing falsely that the goal of BLM is genuinely about advancing human rights. Joseph Klein writes about turning a blind eye to Jew-hatred HERE.
“‘FREE PALESTINE’ – Black Lives Matter UK Attacks ‘Israel’s Settler Colonial Pursuits,’” by Jack Montgomery, Breitbart, June 28, 2020:
The Twitter-verified Black Lives Matter UK organisation has posted a “FREE PALESTINE” diatribe attacking “Israel’s settler colonial pursuits” and people allegedly being “gagged of the right to critique Zionism”.
“As Israel moves forward with the annexation of the West Bank, and mainstream British politics is gagged of the right to critique Zionism, and Israel’s settler colonial pursuits, we loudly and clearly stand beside our Palestinian comrades,” the group declared, hailing their supposed brothers-in-struggle with terminology commonly if not exclusively used among the far left and unreconstructed communists — and adding an emphatic “FREE PALESTINE”.
The tweet, the first in a nine-part tweet on the subject of Palestine and Zionism, may have been prompted by the sacking of former Labour leadership contender and Jeremy Corbyn ally Rebecca Long-Bailey from the British opposition party’s Shadow Cabinet by party leader Sir Keir Starmer.
Long-Bailey had shared an “approving tweet” about an interview in which actress Maxine Peake suggested that, as the left-wing Guardian put it, “the U.S. police tactic of kneeling on someone’s neck was taught by the Israeli secret service.”
Black Lives Matter UK took aim not just at Israel but also at the United Kingdom, noting that Palestinians in Britain have “called for the active protection and promotion of ‘accurate information about current and past events in the life of the Palestinian people, as part of Britain’s ongoing, and outstanding, colonial debt.”
Mandatory Palestine, as the territory now comprising Israel was then called, was a British protectorate for a brief period after the end of the First World War, during which the British government committed to the creation of a homeland for the Jewish people in the area with the Balfour Declaration.
Black Lives Matter UK made no allusion to any “colonial debt” on the part of the Turks, who as the driving force in the former Ottoman Empire subjugated the Arab and indigenous Jewish population in the region for hundreds of years, before their empire entered the First World War on the side of the Germans and was defeated by the British and their allies…..

Since 1800 or so, many regions of the world have been colonized and settled because few people lived there and there was no development of them. The same applies to all previous centuries and millennia. The Near East and Southern Europe have been repeatedly invaded and colonized. The Arab Muslims have been some of the greatest colonizers in world history. When the United Kingdom troops kicked the Ottoman Army out of Arabia and Syria, the region came under the League of Nations. Various tribes were shifted around at the time, including settled Turkish families who were evicted most unfairly. Jews from around the world are clearly the genetic descendants of the Jews evicted from Judea by the Romans after the year 70AD. Terminology is important… the Jewish migrants to Israel are not so much ‘colonizers’, but ‘re-settlers’. They have resettled in their previous, indigenous homeland. No ethnicity has more cultural ties to Israel than the Jewish people.
There is a good deal of hypocrisy from Arabs who claim Jews are ‘colonizers’, since most of the so-called Palestinians are also settlers and colonizers, to use their own terms.
Many family names (Nisbah نسبة) of Arabs living in and around Israel reveal their countries of origin and reveal their family’s recent arrival in Israel:

An informative and useful article by Christine Douglass-Williams. Jack Montgomery (who is quoted) points out: “Black Lives Matter UK made no allusion to any “colonial debt” on the part of the Turks, who as the driving force in the former Ottoman Empire subjugated the Arab and indigenous Jewish population in the region for hundreds of years, before their empire entered the First World War on the side of the Germans and was defeated by the British and their allies…”
The Ottomans were a central Asian tribe (from the region of modern Kazakhstan north of the Caspian Sea) that invaded and colonized Anatolia and Eastern Europe. Muslims are always talking about how they will colonize Europe.
What hypocrites.

UK: Black Lives Matter posts a “Free Palestine” diatribe attacking “Israel’s settler colonial pursuits”

What tripe. BLM just keeps revealing itself as worse and worse.
Gork says
Like other leftist aligned movements from before (Occupy Wall Street ring any bells?) once a movement gets started, others pile on and start pushing their agendas until it becomes a big free-for-all of every kook movement.
Eventually it devolves in to a bunch of Feminists shilling for pedophilia or supposedly anti-slavery people start shilling for the very people who enslaved them (Muslim traders). And then the whole thing devolves in to very bad parody of itself.
The original cause was just. I don’t think there was any disagreement that what happened to George Floyd was an indication of a much larger problem (police brutality). I don’t think anyone disagrees that the case behind the death of Breonna Taylor was also part of a larger problem (no-knock warrants).
But then the professionals, the organizers, public personas, protesters, and rioters, got involved. And now it’s all turning in to a sick parody of itself.
You’d think that after what happened to OWS, that these idiots would have learned from the experience. Instead, a cause which could have done a lot of good is using a solid opportunity when they have the eyes and ears of the nation –to screw up and see nothing get done.
Mark my words. In another ten or fifteen years, we’re going to see exactly the same thing all over again.
gravenimage says
Good post, Gork.
But I don’t think a lot of these professional protesters consider OWS to have been a failure–they’d like to have more destruction and violence in the US and the rest of the West every few years.

Gork says,
“I don’t think there was any disagreement that what happened to George Floyd was an indication of a much larger problem (police brutality).”
Yes, police brutality does happen in the United States – an “overuse of force” for a given situation. Statistically, however, blatant police brutality is actually quite rare in the United States. The vast majority of police officers are honorable, and use incredible restraint – in very challenging situations.
If the suspect actually complies with all orders from the police, tensions de-escalate and overuse of force almost never happens.
Kid Rock created an incredibly educational video for African-Americans. Partly funny, partly serious. All should watch.

Now that *is* funny, James. (Note also that one of the police portrayed here is Black).
By the way, my brother got his ass kicked by the police when he was a teenager for urinating on a police motorcycle parked right outside Juvenile Hall when he was leaving there for another offence. All of his friends later laughed at him for being so stupid. By the way, my brother is White.
David says
BLM was going long before George Floyd, and yes, there is disagreement about his death. I read he died of a heart attack after being placed in an ambulance, and going berserk. Details of this will come out in the trial of Chauvin). Floyd was a nasty gangster. Very few blacks have been killed by police. That is why the names are well known. Check the stats.
JJ says
I just don’t understand Liberals. Help me.
One of my buddies had his first kid so I sent my 2 picture books I made years ago, a fun dog rhyming like Dr. Seuss style with pics of animals and cars.
She was angry, her friends, Peta type stuff. Her parents pish-poshed the 2nd cuz I had a vehicle that transported the shuttle for launch with a rhyme, says NASA and the government blah, blah. Also it was “male toxic” society I was pumping with motorcycles and cars, etc.
So…WTF? Has the world gotten this crazy?
I’m sending links for both books, not for y’all to buy, ain’t about that, but to see the free inside of each and possibly figure out how these two picture books are evil to these groups of liberals and kids?

Looks like nice stuff to me, JJ–and I’ve been involved with children’s book publishing. Certainly, nothing that I can see in the sample that PETA would take issue with–unless there is something objectionable on some page that was not shown, which seems unlikely..
Most Liberals would probably not have any problem with your books–most would thank you for the gifts.
But some hard-Leftists consider almost everything to be “ideologically impure”. I hope their kids don’t suffer for this–it sounds *awfully* grim.
James Lincoln says
Books look good to me, JJ.
The red car looks like a special edition Camaro with gullwing doors – but I could be wrong…
By the way, your buddies are Leftists – not classic JFK type liberals…
OREN says
Really what leftists want is to be able to tell white people and Jews, what they are allowed to say, how much money they should pay those who they have supposedly wronged, who they should call the police on if they are being attacked, who they should date, what they are allowed to think and feel, and anything else that pisses off the left. That is why right wingers and religious say that the left are anti Jewish and anti white, they have no place in the world they want to create at gunpoint, they are denied their humanity, their right to get angry, their pride, their self interests, their identity. In G-d I trust.
Westman says
Why is BLM projecting itself into “Palestine”?
Jimmy Durante said it best: “Everybody wants to get into the act!”
The majority of the BLM protesters/rioters are non-blacks who will go on to lives that have very little contact with blacks. Ultimately, it is the Black Community that will determine its own future by the strength of, or lack of, complete families – in essence, the character of its men and also its women who must demand solid character as the price of their companionship.
OLD GUY says
Individuals success is often determined by the family setting they are raised in. Parenting is most important for children to become useful and successful adults. If you look at successful people you find parents that both push their children to work hard and to become good citizens of their community.
gravenimage says
There are some people who can counter parenting–for good or ill. I am one. It is not common, though.
