The Black Alliance for Peace stands in solidarity with the people of Gaza and all Palestinians under occupation in the racist, apartheid settler state of Israel. We recognize the right of Palestine to exist and the right of the Palestinian people to resist occupation. We call on African/Black people to remember our long tradition of solidarity with Palestine.

We condemn the monstrous and cowardly actions of the racist Zionist entity which is committing mass atrocities against the two million people who are locked in the open air prison of Gaza. As the crazed Zionists indiscriminately bomb civilians in Gaza, while characterizing Palestinians as “animals,” we are witnessing an international crime in real time - a genocide. This is a genocide that is fully supported and celebrated by other Western racist settler states - the morally depraved “international community.”

In my humble opinion, this is a rare case where a "both parties" argument makes sense, as in both parties are acting, and have acted, in horrific, morally reprehensible ways. It's not arguing in good faith to call out Israel for their racist (I would say fascist) actions without acknowledging the racist (antisemitic) actions of Hamas.

Now before anyone jumps in to point out that Hamas does not equal the Palestinian people (despite being their elected representatives) please note that the Israeli state similarly does not equal the Jewish people (despite being their elected representatives). There are evil and innocent people on both sides and any acknowledgement otherwise is biased to the point of being completely erroneous.

This thousand year old chain of retaliations will never end if we continue with the same old barbaric tribalism and hatred.

My empathy goes out to the innocent.
