Pastor Dumisani Washington, the \u200cfounder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, \u2064has condemned the\u200d demonization of Israel by BLM supporters and the false narrative that Zionism is racism.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;The price that&#8217;s paid for organizations like Black Lives \u200dMatter to feign concern about Baltimore, \u2064Oakland,\u200d Ferguson&#8230; to feign concern only to use\u2062 those people and even\u2062 the deaths there to then demonize Israel\u200c some 6,000 miles away is \u2063an evil beyond description,&#8221; he said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;People are being destroyed\u2063 for the sake of antisemitism and \u200danti-Zionism&#8230; How are we defending \u2062the people of Gaza by\u200c celebrating this type of blood and gore?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Washington&#8217;s criticism comes in response\u200b to at least two BLM groups openly expressing their support for \u2063the Palestinian cause, despite the deaths of at least 27 Americans in Israel and the\u2062 capture of innocent men,\u2062 women, and children by Hamas.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Black Lives Matter Grassroots stands in solidarity with\u2064 our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 75\u200d years of settler \u200dcolonialism and apartheid,&#8221; Black Lives Matter Grassroots posted on Instagram.<\/p>\n<p>The group argues that as black Americans who have \u2063experienced dehumanization and criminalization,\u2062 they have a duty \u200cto support\u200c the dismantling of borders, checkpoints, and prisons that\u200c oppress the Palestinian people.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;For\u2064 lasting peace to come,\u2064 the \u200bentire apartheid \u200dsystem must be dismantled,&#8221; the post read. &#8220;The war on\u2063 the Palestinian people must cease.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>A similar sentiment was expressed \u2064by\u200b a Chicago Black \u200dLives Matter \u2063chapter that shared an &#8220;I Stand\u2064 With Palestine&#8221; graphic.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;I would challenge those individuals that if they are really people of conscience, really people of justice, who would then\u200b either \u200bcelebrate, or even just as bad, sit back\u2064 and be \u2063silent while\u2064 children \u200dare killed and \u2064abducted, then the moral problem \u200cthat they&#8217;re having is not \u2062the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, it&#8217;s them. They would have to look at themselves \u2062in the mirror,&#8221;\u2063 Washington said. &#8220;If you are someone co-signing\u2064 on \u200cthis barbarism \u2063in this war, that \u2062means \u200dsome\u200d of \u2062that blood \u2064is on\u200d your hands.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Washington also\u2063 highlights the influence of Black Lives Matter&#8217;s ideology in its promotion of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/jordan-threatens-fbi-director-wray-with-contempt-over-targeting-parents-catholics\/\" title=\"Jordan warns FBI Director Wray of contempt for 'targeting' parents, Catholics.\">critical \u200crace theory<\/a>, which he argues perpetuates dehumanization and reduces complex issues to simplistic narratives.<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;This type of education, this type of reductive\u2064 reasoning, it&#8217;s a dehumanization&#8230; which is what \u2062the Nazis did\u200d to\u200c the Jews, which is what racists did to black people.\u200d Once you dehumanize somebody, it doesn&#8217;t matter what you do to them. \u2063This\u200c is the\u200d danger of where we are in our nation right now,&#8221;\u200b he said.\u2064 &#8220;Once a victim mentality has been sufficiently transferred into an individual, everything is game. Everything becomes a\u200d revolutionary struggle. \u2064Everything becomes about breaking\u2064 the\u2062 bands of \u200cthe power of the oppressor.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;This is one of \u2063the \u2063reasons why\u200b Black Lives Matter, its leaders, \u200band\u2062 its \u200dideology will still look at the horrific images\u200d that\u200b we&#8217;re seeing \u2062and\u2063 justify it,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;It&#8217;s, &#8216;I\u200c don&#8217;t have to\u200b think, I don&#8217;t have\u200c to have real\u200d empathy.&#8217; I can just affix a label so that even though I&#8217;m seeing \u200dthe \u200dhorrific things that\u2062 we&#8217;re seeing, mothers, children, elderly,\u2064 I can just look at that\u2062 as, &#8216;Hey, that&#8217;s just the price that you pay when people want their freedom, right?&#8217; And those are the types of things\u2063 that are being \u200csaid.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p> <\/p>\n<h2> How does supporting Hamas undermine the\u200b broader goals of the Black Lives Matter movement and potential alliances<\/h2>\n<p><span>  \u200bLM chapter, which released \u200da statement condemning the violence \u200dcarried out by the \u2063Israeli government\u200b and \u200bexpressing solidarity with the\u200b Palestinian people. The chapter called for an end to U.S. military aid to Israel, stating that the funds should instead be\u200b used to\u200c invest in communities\u2064 that are marginalized \u200dand impacted by systemic racism.<\/p>\n<p>Pastor Dumisani Washington, however, vehemently disagrees with these positions taken by BLM and emphasizes the importance of understanding the complexities and history of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. He argues that the support for Hamas, a recognized terrorist organization, undermines the\u200c true goals of the \u200cBlack Lives Matter movement and detracts\u2064 from the important work of combating racial inequality and injustice.<\/p>\n<p>As the founder of the\u2064 Institute for Black\u2064 Solidarity with Israel, Pastor Dumisani\u200c Washington has dedicated much of his life to fostering relationships and understanding between the black community and the state of Israel. He highlights \u2062the shared history of oppression and persecution faced by both communities and believes in the power of solidarity to combat racism and discrimination.<\/p>\n<p>In his criticism of Black Lives Matter&#8217;s support for Hamas terrorism, Pastor Dumisani Washington states, &#8220;It is deeply troubling to see an organization that claims to fight for justice and equality align themselves with\u200b a group\u200c responsible for the deaths\u2064 of innocent civilians, including black Americans. We should be working together \u200dtowards a peaceful resolution, not promoting violence and hatred.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>His concerns are valid, as the \u2063support\u200d for Hamas by\u200d BLM groups risks undermining \u200cthe broader goals of the movement\u200c and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/israel-war-black-activist-slams-blm-for-backing-barbarism-against-israel\/\" title=\"Black activist criticizes BLM for supporting violence in Israel.\">alienating potential allies<\/a>. It is essential \u2063to recognize the complexities \u2064of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and engage in informed and constructive dialogue that brings\u200d about meaningful \u200bchange.<\/p>\n<p>While the Black Lives Matter movement has been instrumental in shedding light on racial \u200dinjustice and police brutality, it is crucial to ensure that the movement remains true \u200cto its\u2064 values and principles. Supporting a terrorist organization like Hamas \u2064not \u200conly harms the reputation of the movement but also detracts from the important \u200bwork of addressing systemic racism.<\/p>\n<p>In conclusion, Pastor Dumisani Washington&#8217;s criticism \u2062of Black Lives \u200cMatter&#8217;s support for Hamas terrorism brings attention to a concerning aspect within the movement. While recognizing the importance of solidarity and the fight against \u200dracism and discrimination, it is essential to have a nuanced understanding of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/cuba-and-iran-in-havana-meeting-vow-to-confront-yankee-imperialism\/\" title=\"Cuba and Iran unite in Havana, pledge to confront 'Yankee imperialism'.\">complex global issues<\/a>, such as the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. By engaging in informed and constructive dialogue, we can \u2062better work towards a just \u200dand equitable society for all.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>An activist for the black community criticizes Black Lives Matter members in the US for supporting Hamas&#8217;s terrorism and endorsing the violence against Israelis.
