When \u200bthey resist, they are labeled \u2062as terrorists.<\/p>\n<p>The group concludes their statement by emphasizing that lasting \u2064peace \u2062can only\u200b be achieved by \u200bdismantling the entire \u200capartheid system and putting an end to the war against the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<div class=\"my-5\">\n<p>BLM Grassroots calls on the United States to stop funding war\u200d and redirect its support\u200d from the Israeli military to repairing\u200b the damage caused \u200bby \u200dU.S.-backed wars, military air\u200b strikes, coups, and\u2064 destabilizing interventions against oppressed people worldwide.<\/p>\n<h2>Riots, Looting in the US<\/h2>\n<p>It \u2063is worth noting that\u2063 Black Lives\u2064 Matter and affiliated \u200bgroups have a history of engaging in aggressive activities in the United States in \u200cthe name of racial justice.

She emphasized the importance of \u2064unity within the \u2064movement and denounced the police as the \u2063true underminers of their cause.<\/p>\n<p>The Biden administration has expressed concern over demonstrations in \u2062the United States\u2063 supporting\u2062 Hamas. During a press briefing, White House \u2063press \u2063secretary Karine Jean-Pierre highlighted the administration&#8217;s commitment to \u2064protecting the Jewish community and denouncing violence \u2063against any\u2064 community.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How has the statement from BLM \u200dGrassroots in support of Palestinians been received\u2062 and what are some of \u200bthe criticisms and support it \u2063has garnered<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200cTh impunity.

Some applaud BLM Grassroots for using their platform to speak up \u2064for the \u200crights of Palestinians, while others accuse them of being anti-Semitic or\u2063 promoting violence.
