There’s a big conflation with African American rights and Palestinian rights as if they’re anything like the same.

JAMES KIRCHICK, TABLET MAGAZINE: That is so insulting to Black people because Black people in this country suffered immense injustice far worse, I would say, than anything that he Palestinians have suffered at the hands of the Israelis. And how did Black people respond to that? They didn’t go around beheading babies, and raping women in mass numbers, and slaughtering people. They launched the non-violent civil rights movement that was the most successful in human history. One more thing. If there was a Palestinian Martin Luther King, this conflict would have been over decades ago. //

Colonizers. Okay, this is, again, this has become like in the media we just call the Israelis colonizers. It’s not a colonizing, okay. Colonizing is when one country had nothing to do with another country, like the British or the Dutch in South Africa, marched in with an army and took over a place they had no connection to. Israel has quite a connection to Israel…

If you did a land acknowledgment like we do in this country. I’m standing on the ground that 3,000 years ago was King David’s capital of Jerusalem… And if that land acknowledgment means like we honor who originally had the land, why does this work for Indians but not Jews?
