“Here in Black Lives Matter we don’t have that kind of organic dig-yourself-into-an-even-deeper-hole experience.”
St. Louis, June 3 – Organizers of a grassroots movement to raise awareness of and protest police violence against African-Americans have received helpful advice from activists working to advance the cause of destroying the world’s only Jewish state under the guise of pursuing “justice” no other aggrieved group has ever enjoyed, advice to help the movement duplicate the success anti-Israel groups have enjoyed in undercutting their own public relations achievements through misdirected or wanton violence, a spokesman for this chapter of the protest movement disclosed today.
Black Lives Matter activist Shawanda Cooper told reporters that she and her comrades in the movement have maintained contacts with Palestinian advocates for years, and received numerous tips on how to squander hard-won public support by encouraging, or at least condoning, destructive acts that undercut that support among the political and social mainstream where the critical mass of potential voters and supporters exist to make the movement’s vision a reality.
“Palestinians have become the masters of shooting themselves in the public relations foot,” gushed Ms. Cooper. “While Gandhi was pioneering non-violent strategies against the British in India that resulted in recognition of the undeniable immorality of imperialist rule over natives, Palestinian Arabs back then and down to today have always alternated between talking up their innocent victim status vis-à-vis Jewish ‘aggression’ and attempted to commit atrocities far worse than most anything Jews ever did to them. Here in Black Lives Matter we don’t have that kind of organic dig-yourself-into-an-even-deeper-hole experience. We welcome that input our Palestinian allies have provided.”
Results of the Palestinian-BLM alliance have shown mixed results, but have achieved their most prominent outcomes where rioting, looting, and attacks on innocents have occurred over the last several days after police in Oakland, California apparently murdered a black man by asphyxiating him. Whereas in less urban contexts the spontaneous nationwide protests against police brutality have remained non-violent, even uplifting, in larger cities such as this one, as well as New York, Los Angeles, Minneapolis, and the nation’s capital, rioting and looting have marred the landscape, while agitators and opportunists – alternately described in media reports as far-left Antifa thugs and far-right white supremacist provocateurs – have beaten passersby and anyone who attempts to prevent further chaos. BLM organizers made specific mention of their Palestinian allies in describing the parallels between the two struggles.
“Terrorism is the thing we were missing that our Palestinian comrades really stepped up to show us how to have associated with us, tainting what would otherwise be an unimpeachable pursuit of relief from multi-generational grievances,” stated Cooper. “That disregard of the normal, moral center in politics is perhaps the greatest legacy of this ongoing collaboration.”
