Black Lives Matter Chicago has an abhorrent graphic up.

As of this moment, this is their cover picture on Facebook and that other site.

It's beyond despicable that an organization supposedly dedicated to justice and fairness would celebrate mass murder. I don't know what on earth is wrong with them.

Here's the graphic:



And some of the DUmmy chatter, which is a best of DU for the most part:

Looks like an inkblot to me....

You cannot excuse or condone what happened on Saturday. You sure in the hell cannot celebrate it.

National BLM has any popular support???

11. Standing with the Palestinians does not mean standing with the terrorists.

The Palestinians have been held in an open-air, densely crowded prison for decades, their lands encroached upon by settlers and their lives made miserable and with little hope.

It makes sense to me that African Americans of all ethnic groups in this nation would stand in solidarity to their plight.

It escapes me and upsets me that some others here don't understand the extreme misery of the lives of Palestinians, and seem to want them to endure what is essentially apartheid for forever.

Again, it's not that complicated, expressing solidarity with another oppressed people is not expressing solidarity with terrorism.

It's my guess that Native Americans would grasp the concept without difficulty also.

18. Considering the professionally organized action of the killers in this instance

I'd say that not standing against the terrorists, in this case, does mean standing with them.

In the 1970s, when the German urban terrorists were shooting down politicians they didn't like, or when the IRA was blowing up people in England, there was a loud outcry from the people the "freedom fighters" claimed to represent, and that outcry proclaimed in no uncertain terms, these violent maniacs did NOT stand with or for the people they said they were fighting for. They got arms and shelter from the East Germans (i.e. the Soviets), in the case of the R.A.F., or from bases in the Irish Republic, in the case of the I.R.A. Just like the west poured billions into Israel, the UAE and the Saudis poured billions into the Palestinians. Their leaders chose to use the donated aid for other purposes. Instead of irrigation and desalinization to grow crops, or development of high tech, they chose weapons and their leaders sticking it into their own pockets. OK, fair enough, that's their call. But the Middle East could be an immense, prosperous, free trade zone, like the EU. The only thing stopping that is the same thing that stopped it in Europe in 1940--hate and violence. DeGaulle and Adenauer figured out that the centuries of antagonism might not be the best way to go forward, after all. Sadat and Begin, did, too, but look what happened to Sadat. I think Egypt DID stand with Sadat, but some of the radicals in Egypt did not, and decided that hate and violence were preferable to the peaceful course. They are still sorting that out.

In the last few days, there have been massive celebrations around the (mostly) Arab world, applauding the Hamas operation. These were NOT celebrations of solidarity with the people of Gaza. They could have held those at any time. Instead, the big celebrations were held after the well-planned (and executed) mass murder and hostage taking. There is nothing better than that to send a message as to who stands with whom. If BLM wishes to show their solidarity AT THIS TIME, and in THIS manner, that's their call. But they are not idiots. They must have known perfectly well the message

19. IMO one oppressed ethnic group standing with another makes sense. That apparently is a concept...

that is hard to grasp by people who have never been discriminated against because of their otherness.

The image choice should be changed. I'm betting it will be when cooler heads prevail.

28. For real?

Did you not pay attention to the news of terrorists paragliding into a music festival to kill hundreds of people over the weekend?

Celebrating that as a "just action" is reprehensible.

Unequivocally wrong.

Credit where credit is due.

BS comments to avoid association with the murder and beheading of babies. If you support Palestinians by displaying images of Hamas then you support Hamas and the murder of the innocent.

[SVPete]

What DU-grade Progs (most Progs?) refuse to "get" is that after 75 or 100 years of anti-Jewish and -Israeli propaganda, for most Arab Palis the only peace they seek is the "peace" of millions of slaughtered Israelis.

The democrat party and Hamas share a common bond when it comes to baby killing so not surprising when they rally to support what is going on.

[Ralph Wiggum]

One wonders if all these college-age nitwits who use gender-neutral pronouns that are fully on board with the troglodyte Palestinians realize the devout Muslims would toss them off the nearest building upon learning they embrace homosexuality.

It also makes me wonder who the hell is teaching these young brains full of mush such nonsense. Oh yeah, Democrats.

How long before a DUmmy or some BLM supporter start calling the beheading of infants 'post birth abortion'?

[USA4ME]

Both blm and brush supports Hamas no matter how hard it tries to deny.

[Old n Grumpy]

Blm is a scam. They are a racist hate group that plays on people’s sympathies to get their money.

And some of the replies on the dump are just ridiculous, they are disgusting and in deep denial.
