Rep. Cori Bush (D-MO) is comparing “pro-Palestinian” protests to the Black Lives Matter movement. They are alike in more ways than she can express.
Bush is tying the two movements together by claiming that the antisemitic protesters harassing Jewish students on college campuses and expressing support forare “agitators” who “infiltrate the movement, manipulate the press, & fuel the suppression of dissent” by police, which is the same thing she alleges happened to Black Lives Matter protests.
As a Ferguson activist, I know what it’s like to have agitators infiltrate our movement, manipulate the press, & fuel the suppression of dissent by public officials & law enforcement.Of course, this is a joke, even if Bush didn’t mean it as one. It isn’t right-wing agitators “infiltrating” protests to make people look bad.
Both movements are alike in other ways, too, including the fact that the radicalism is the point. Take Black Lives Matter’s Chicago chapter, whichthe Oct. 7 attack that killed 1,200 Israeli civilians with a graphic glorifying the terrorists who used paragliders to infiltrate Israel. The organization deleted it in a separate post but refused to acknowledge the massacre, instead mourning only for Palestinians. This was all just four days after the massacre.
But most importantly, both movements are alike because they are both based on myths. Black Lives Matter started based on the myth of “hands up, don’t shoot,” when, in reality, Michael Brown was shot and killed aftera police officer and trying to grab the officer’s gun.
Both the Black Lives Matter and “pro-Palestinian” movements are built on myths and the obedience of ignorant activists who don’t understand the topics they are, and both draw protesters with violent and hateful tendencies. They are more alike than Bush could imagine, and it has nothing to do with supposed false flag “agitators” making them look bad.
