Whom Do Bigots Blame for Police Shootings in America? Israel, Of Course! [View all]

https://www.algemeiner.com/2016/07/13/alan-dershowitz-whom-do-bigots-blame-for-police-shootings-in-america-israel-of-course/

In response to the tragic deaths of Philando Castile and Alton Sterling at the hands of police officers in Minnesota and Louisiana, the New York University Chapter of the Students for Justice in Palestine (“SJP”) tweeted the following:

In the past 48 hours another two black men have been lynched by the police…. We must remember that many US police departments train with #IsraeliDefenceForces. The same forces behind the genocide of black people in America are behind the genocide of Palestinians. What this means is that Palestinians must stand with our black comrades. We must struggle for their liberation. It is as important as our own. #AltonSterling is as important as #AliDawabsheh. Palestinian liberation and black liberation go together. We must recognize this and commit to building for it.

Even in moments of national mourning such as these, SJP bigots cannot help but exploit the deaths of innocent Americans to further their own antisemitic political agenda, namely to delegitimize and demonize the nation state of the Jewish people.
