Author Hen Mazzig highlighted recent online attacks of “Palestinian” content creators against African Americans supportive of Kamala Harris, whom the content creators see as too pro-Israel.
Mazzig provided a mash-up of footage of the anti-Israel content creators attacking the black community, juxtaposed with African Americans who say they don’t take kindly to the “disrespectful and denigrating” attitude and will reconsider their previous support for “Palestine.”
“I’m done,” one African American woman says. “So the money that was coming out of my bank account every month to help Palestinians in Gaza…yeah, that’s going to stop. And I’m going to redirect those funds to help the people over in Congo.”
@hen.mazzig In recent days, many in the Black community are feeling ostracized after numerous voices in the Palestine movement have condemned them for being interested in their own rights. These Black influencers have been openly Pro-Palestine but feel that they are given no reciprocity while they are asked to put Palestine before everything else, even before their own wellbeing. Many of the comments have been racist in nature. It led some Black influencers to bring up past tensions between the Arab and Black communities, such as the legacy of the Arab slave trade. Of course, no group is a monolith, and I'm sure there is much disagreement within both the Black and Palestinian community on how best to advocate for their causes in this election cycle. This crack in the movement, however, seems rather significant It seems like many are waking up to realize what "in every means necessary" actually means. #Israel #bringthemhome #antisemitism #jewish #kamalaharris #racism #2024elections ♬ original sound – Hen Mazzig
