This is so powerful and true.

Jewish people are long-suffering. They suffer in silence within the confines of a very tight, closed-knit, community. They are family-oriented people. Community-oriented people. Hard working people. Collectively successful people. WTF, y’all?
So, why are they some of the most persecuted and hated people in the world.
I seriously, just don’t get it.
We, black, people, are some of the most persecuted and hated in the world too. But the world doesn’t show the visceral hatred for us that it shows for Jewish people. At least, not yet. Trump and them are working on it.
The world shows us contempt and a lack of respect The world wants to subdue us, subjugate us, make us their servants.
But the world of white supremacy wants to kill Jewish people. Have you ever asked yourself why?
Why? What did Jewish people do?
I think Jewish people evoke such hatred because the world has not been able to subdue them, to subjugate them, to bend them into conformity. The world despises what it doesn’t understand.
Israel is surrounded by enemies living on the land that their ancestors lived on. THEIR LAND! They are not there illegally. They are not colonizers. They have every right to be there. Every. Right.
Please don’t buy into the Hamas propaganda that Israel is illegally occupied— that is bullshit.
Don’t buy into Farrakhan’s uneducated bullshit that Jewish people were responsible for the slave trade—that is proganda as well.
My Master’s Thesis included extensive research of the slave trade by reputable academic resources and never, once, was that “Jewish responsible” bullshit mentioned.
But I urge you to suspend your flawed thinking and have some compassion for these resilient people.
People who could have voted for Trump and still chose to be on the right side of history.
The thing not shared on MSNBC is the indoctrination of Palestinians from infants to adults to hate Jews and destroy Israel.
No one talks about that.
I am no fan of Netanyahu —he is making deals with the devil, but I don’t disagree with him refusing to cease fire until hostage return was on the table. I don’t disagree with him taking care of his country above all else.
I don’t even disagree with his show of force. You can’t slap murderers on the wrist and ask them to act right.
Blk folks has that worked for us with law enforcement?
The whole world chose to ignore the fact that these monsters abducted innocent people and were torturing them, raping them, and killing them.
The whole world chose not to report on the FACT that Hamas, funded by Iran and Russia, used Palestinians as human shields. Used schools and hospitals as hidey holes.
No one reported on the rape and sexual assault of Jewish women and girls.
Why did the world ignore this and demonize Israel?
The whole world hid the cheering of Palestinians as Israelis in captivity died.
This Palestinian woman on my FB, she is long gone now, put up a cartoon of a sunny sky and joy and a brick wall crumbling on October 7th when the hostages were taken.
I said, “Bitch have you lost your mind?” On the post. She took it down and preceded to play the victim.
I was in Amsterdam when the Free Palestinian group was speaking. Using every tag line from the Black Civil Rights Movement. Appropriating our struggle fir sympathy. That’s what they do. That is their MO.
Hanging pictires of dead or maimed Palestinian children. Children, they, themselves, put in danger.
At that point, I was so sick of the Middle East I could puke. I knew it was hurting the U.S. Presidential election.
Because Iran and Russia wants Trump. A cruel, viscious, crazy, motherfucker like themselves.
I cannot get mad at Israel for protecting itself from this hatred.
This jealous hatred.
This cruel, unthinkable, hatred.
This vicious hatred.
From the whole fucking world.
If you really want to be the change you want in the world it requires compassion, solidarity with the people on the right side of history, understanding and love.
Instead of maligning the Jewish community we should be in solidarity with them, Black people.
The entire Jewish community mourns the Bibas family today.
Do you know the story of the Bibas family?
Among the thousands of stories, footage and tragedies of the October 7 massacre, the Bibas family has become a symbol.
A brave father, Yarden Bibas, who tried to distract the Palestinian militants who ultimately kidnapped his entire family including his brother.
He was kidnappeded first.
His wife and children were kidnapped next.
His brother was kidnapped.
Palestinian militants who murdered them all except Yarden. He has only has his parents left. He is 38-years-old.
Palestinians returned the bodies on his children on Thursday— the two babies and some unknown Palestinian woman in a coffin. Those motherfuckers.
The mother has not yet been returned.
People who kill and murder and maim so easily— who livestream their cruelty while the so-called “innocent” Palestinians cheer. This is not the side you cheer on.
I am sorry for the loss of Palestinian lives during this brutal war. But, remember, this— so many Palestinian lives were already loss— when they were indoctrinated to hate Jews.
Hate tends to always kill the hater eventually.
Today, the Bibas family is on the minds and hearts of the Jewish community all over the world because the Palestinian abductors murdered all but one— the father.
That is some Holocaust-like, psychological, torture. It is a message, a hateful message—that there will be no peace—not ever— not as long as they are taught to hate Jews.
Who taught you to hate Jews? Why?
This chapter of history parallels our own history, black people. The way white people disengage, go back to baking cookies and watching reality tv in the face of our pain.
We lick our wounds alone. Jews lick their wounds alone.
Remember the radio silence from white people when police were killing us like apples in a barrel?
The Bibas family is represented by orange hearts 🧡 to match the hair of the Bibas children, the youngest abductees.
Show this community some love and compassion. Drop an orange heart on your page. Please. Show them they are not alone. 🧡🧡🧡🧡
