In platform, Black Lives Matter accuses Israel of ‘genocide,’ backs BDS

[6chars]

5. or governments that enslave blacks and others today?

Here is where slavery is a problem. The little yellow spot, indicating no slavery, in the map of the middle east is Israel, http://www.globalslaveryindex.org/index/

they state that this particular plank of their platform - "cutting military funding" is to be implemented by, among other things, cutting all aid to Israel (this is the first point they list on implementing the plank!), supporting BDS by overturning laws against it, etc. And then for each of their planks they say how it will benefit black people. This one will free up funding for black LGBT youth, among other things.

Yes, trade with the Jewish state is the cause of the hardships of black LGBT youth. You heard it hear first.

Or, perhaps, BLM has allied itself with radical anti-Israel activists or been infiltrated by them. In any event, this detracts a lot from their pursuit of other stated goals that directly and clearly do involve improving conditions for blacks in America.
