Black Lives Matter (BLM) chapters in Indianapolis and Chicago are drawing sharp bipartisan criticism for praising the heinous actions of Hamas in its brutal invasion of Israel.
On Tuesday, the Black Lives Matter Indy organization retweeted a post from the U.S. Palestinian Community Network, praising “[t]he heroic Palestinian people” and their “right to resist their racist, white supremacist, land-stealing [Z]ionist occupiers!”
The allegations in the tweet are objectively false and grossly antisemitic. Hamas is not “resisting” Israeli aggression, but invaded Israel on Saturday via more than 80 holes in the Israeli/Gaza border wall on Simchat Torah, a Jewish holiday.
“Resisting” also doesn’t characterize the act of brutally raping families in their homes, parading naked bodies through the streets, or beheading babies and leaving their bodies in the dirt.
The accusations of white supremacy are unfounded, though Black Lives Matter chapters and activists often falsely accuse individuals or groups of white supremacy.
On Tuesday, Black Lives Matter’s Chicago organization showcased its support of Hamas by posting a depiction of a paratrooper with a Palestinian flag captioned “I stand with Palestine,” appearing to endorse the attack by Hamas, in which terrorists slaughtered innocent attendees of a music festival near the Israel/Gaza border.
According to a tweet by Andy Ngô, a senior editor at the Post Millennial, “A unit of Hamas militants used paragliders and hang gliders to launch their armed massacre of civilians in southern Israel. BLM, like Antifa, has long expressed support for Palestinian terrorism in the name of ‘de-colonialism’ and fighting capitalism.”
At least 260 people died at the music festival massacre.
California state Sen. Scott Wiener, D-San Francisco, condemned the Black Lives Matter Chicago tweet as “More advocacy for violence against Jews,” characterizing it as “sickening.”
However, Wiener endorsed Black Lives Matter at least twice in the past three years—when San Francisco created a BLM plaza and when he encouraged BLM to do more than sloganeering: “It’s also a danger on the Left, where the symbols of progressivism are often preferred to the sacrifices and risks those ideals demand.”
Mia Cathell, an investigative reporter for Townhall.com, described Black Lives Matter Chicago as “a terrorist organization [supporting] a terrorist organization.”
Brian Krassenstein, a left-wing journalist, lambasted Black Lives Matter Chicago for “[posting] a series of graphical cartoons [on their Facebook page] which try to normalize and rationalize what Hamas Terrorists have done to innocent men, women and children in Israel.”
After the death of George Floyd in Minneapolis in May 2020, Black Lives Matters protests turned into violent and destructive riots across the United States. Buildings were burned down via mob arson in Kenosha, Wisconsin; Minneapolis; Indianapolis; Chicago; and elsewhere.
These same groups were given time in our public schools—where students were implored to listen to these valiant heroes because their “white privilege” had spurred these victims to seek justice. That’s what I observed as the science coordinator at Indianapolis Public Schools, where middle school students at Butler Lab 60 were required to listen to Black Lives Matter Indianapolis co-founder Kyra Harvey tell them that crime was made up by white people in order to arrest and “round up” black people.
Harvey now works for Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett, a Democrat, as a “tenant navigator,” a job the city of Indianapolis describes as involving someone who “helps renters avoid eviction.”
Black Lives Matter Indianapolis is hosting a rally in support of Hamas at Monument Circle in Indianapolis at 5:30 p.m. on Thursday, according to WIBC-FM radio there.
Mike Gonzalez, a senior fellow at the Kathryn and Shelby Cullom Davis Institute for National Security and Foreign Policy for The Heritage Foundation, doesn’t consider the BLM leaders’ comments surprising in the least.
BLM was created by hard-core Marxists. It has always, from the start, been anti-Israel, which is a democratic, free, free-market ally of the United States, all qualities that make Israel the enemy for BLM. For Marxists, the end always justifies the means, so gang rapes, beheaded babies, and entire communities slaughtered, mean nothing.
Black Lives Matter Grassroots, a national organization, released a statement in solidarity with “Palestine.” The statement drew parallels between “mass incarceration” and the terrorist state in Gaza. BLM Grassroots intoned “clear parallels between Black and Palestinian people.”
Black Lives Matter chapters’ endorsing the horrific violence and evil we’re witnessing in Israel right now prove one thing: Many leftist racial advocacy groups are willing to commit whatever atrocities are necessary in order to achieve their political aims.
By castigating their political opponents as “white supremacists” and identifying their “challenging oppression” with the unspeakable cruelty Hamas is committing, BLM gives itself and others the green light to violently assault, rape, and kill anyone who stand in its path here in the U.S.
As such, It’s fitting perhaps that the logo of the website of Black Lives Matter Indianapolis enshrines the Marxist clenched fist along with the motto “By any means necessary.”

Excellent article telling the Truth.
Have said from day one that blm is a Terrorist Organization. Look at ALL of their riots, crime and destruction of U.S. cities ALL supported by Dictator Beijing biden and Communist harris who Bailed them out of jail (Disqualifying her for running for office legally and constitutionally) and didn’t prosecute them but praised them right along with pelosi cheering them on.
Yes, blm are TERRORIST just like Hamas, Taliban, ISIS, and Iran including the Socialist/Communist democrats Squad.
The blm was NEVER about helping black Americans.
The blm is about helping the democrats DESTROY the USA which makes them TERRORIST with democrats leading the way.
Black Lives Matter is a VERY RACIST organization that HATES WHITE PEOPLE!
AMERICA IS STILL A RACIST COUNTRY, ONLY IT NOW DISCRIMINATES TOWARD WHITE PEOPLE! And I speak from personal experience!
BLM is a racist hate group, no better than the KKK.
Good article, bad headline. Headline should read.
Major Corporations support Hamas allied BLM.
That’s the real story here. BLM wouldn’t exist without Corp largess
Black supremacy is a very big problem in this country and it is being spread by the far left violent terrorist group known as black lives matter. The problem is that they don’t fear any repercussions so they will do and act as they wish.
Since the government won’t protect its citizens,maybe it’s time for the militias and citizens of this country to take action and disperse these organizations that are destroying the very fabric of what this country was founded on,free speech is one thing but these groups are outright terrorist and need to be stopped permanently,and it’s obvious that the socialist government of Biden won’t do it,they don’t care about America unless they are destroying it
If BLM is considered a terrorist group, they should either be rounded up or killed. This would stop their nonsense while creating a safe haven for Americans. While we’re at it, let’s roundup every politician who does not respect their oath of office.
Time to eradicated the rodents and take out the garbage
There is now a place for open discussion about the BUSINESES that back blm so we can quit frequenting those who back. It needs to be done NOW.
I wonder how all of the American Jews that gave money and backed blm are feeling now? A hate group is a hate group, no matter if you steal the initials from the Bureau of Land Management or not. We have to start just being honest and stop worrying about how you may look in the one sided media. If everyone just told the truth and pointed out facts, the media would have no choice but to show a portion of it. Instead, we have too many people and businesses that (for some reason) are “afraid” to be strong and stand up for common sense and dignity. When big business caves in for 2% of the population it makes us wonder…. why?? If they didn’t pay attention to them, they’d be forced to be nothing more than a cry baby group seeking attention. Instead, these businesses give them importance. Same thing with blm, if only the liberal groups acknowledged them, instead of almost everyone paying homage to them on tv and in ads, they’d be forced to be nothing. Look at their former “leader”, she stole millions and moved in a wealthy, white neighborhood. Also, blm is a wing of the Democratic Party. Remember when their initial fundraising page said “a portion of all donations will go to the Democratic Party”? Yeah, most people don’t remember either, but it’s true. Once it was pointed out in social media, that part magically disappeared from the page. Hypocrites, liars, thieves…… hate groups!!!!!!
Time has come to put a stop to this TERRORIST ORGANIZATION and declare them as an ENEMY of the STATE and the CITIZENS and the CONSTITUTION. Stop them before they start their attempt to take over this country. NOW!
When you lie down with DOGS–YOU get up with fleas. In the case of BLM-they also have the MANGE!!
Since Biden stated that America is in support of Israel, does that mean those who support BLM are both anti-semites and anti-America?
Well we can only put the blame for this BLM proclamation on the shoulders of ole Joe and his minions. Supporting the real terrorists in this country during the burning down of our cities by calling them peacefully demonstrations and by dividing this country by calling peaceful opponents terrorists. All ole Joe is doing perpetuate the division here and playing into China and Russia’s hands
As long as there are different sides about the Jewish and Palestinian question, division will continue and even widen. Not many people are alive to speak about their holocaust experience which has been denied by Iran and many other moslim nations. Just to justify their hatred for the Jews. As for the younger generation they scream but know not where they are screaming about. Keep it up and you will have to follow up your voices by fighting Hamas here on your home soil.
Yes but remember the FBI and DOJ said white supremacists were the number one terrorist threat in america.
OF course the FBI and DOJ are completely political bullsh*t anymore so they are lying. this article proved it yet again.
this is proof both need to be 100% defunded and everyone fired.
BLM is the domestic terrorists, not maga, not me!
Anyone who or any group that supports Terrorism in the United States should have their licenses pulled,Their membership rejected, and Their members arrested because it’s tyranny….
common sense people knew all along that blm was a hate group only stupid people look the other way – makes me sick
We should make a list of corporations that make contributions to this anti white, anti American and anti-Semitic organizations so consumers know where their money is going.
I have always thought that BLM acted like domestic terrorists just like the KKK and Antifa, too!! They spread such hate and anger!!
You can’t tell me that the Black Panthers are any different than the KKK, walking around with big weapons. So white people are condemned for not being racist yet BLM/Black Panthers can be as racist as they want? History repeats itself and so I fear the minority may not like it
What is going on in the world today and groups like the BLM is one of the reasons we have the 2nd ADMENDMENT!!! KEEP YOUR POWDER DRY people!!!
Birds of a feather flock together…expecting something different?
…”via more than 80 holes in the Israeli/Gaza border wall on Simchat Torah, a Jewish holiday….”
This is a sharp lesson in this for the USA. Our own Southern border is a lot more vulnerable than a mere 80 “holes”, with NONE of those pouring through being vetted. How many are Hammas, Isis, and Taliban? With this horrific act as a signpost, we must now be more vigilant than ever. Any future incidents on US soil must fall squarely on the shoulders of Biden and his non-existent border policies.
I doubt Hamas cares, they want to kill all Americans.
I generally am not permitted to post what I think of these people and what I’d to do with them. But to give you an idea, if I was in charge over there Bebe would look like a wuss because I’d have the largest bulldozers and other earthmoving equipment I could find lined up behind my tanks.
No surprise here. BLM survives on spreading fear and crying racism. It’s what they do, it’s who they are.
The Democrat Party let BLM get away with their terrorist acts in our country calling it peaceful protests. Great reason not to vote Democrat. Bill’s terrorist acts and support for HAMAS are all the more reason to destroy and eliminate BLM just as should be done to HAMAS and all terrorist groups.
As if anyone would expect anything less from them except to spew their Marxist dogma. Black Lives Matters and ANTIFA should be, but are not, listed by the FBI as domestic terror organizations. You can bet if they were “MAGA” they would be but they are the “wet workers” for the Left.
And WHY do we care? America FIRST.
b l m – buffoons, losers, misfits!
Well, the 13% of the population is 97% of the criminal problem, as well as being a fellow terror organization.
Again, the commentaries leave out the ringleader, out of fear, I suppose. Not really old Joe, who actually has friends like KKK Byrd, regards blacks as inferior, and does it just for the money, but the original cancer of the hate America crowd, the country that gave him everything…..Barack Hussien Obama. Every bit the monster that is HAMAS.
whitmer ,slotkin,and peters are in the same camp with Talib in Michigan, ALL of them are traitors and disgust me with their support of Hamasaki.
NONE of them are in support of Israel and the tragic slaughter of innocent life.
See how they all vote on killing babies – they are evil and immoral!
One terrorist organization supporting another, no surprise there! BLM should be forced to pay for the damages they caused during the riots in this country. There should be a zero balance in their bank accounts!
Too bad we can’t do the same thing to the BLM that the IDF is doing to the HAMAS Terrorists!!!
Here in Dearborn Michigan there was a meeting in the Ford Cultural Center and several Wayne County and SOM elected officials spoke about the Palestinians and their plight. Absolutely disgusting.
& Antifa
So Biden stands in front of Blacks and many other events,… and claims White Supremacy is the greatest threat to democracy??? Also notice while doing this, he NEVER mentions exactly who he’s talking about. BUT, BLM aren’t Black Supremacists and they don’t threaten democracy ???
BLM has shown its true colors and they are not red white and blue.
Blm was always a hateful marxist democrat organization intent on destroying America.
Their actions are criminal and destructive , acting against normal humanity and the laws of a peaceful and orderly society. Anything contrary is just another lie!
How could ANYONE support murder and slaughtering of another human being.
Throw out the marxist democrat party haters and all their partners is destruction.
blm AND antifa ARE DOMESTIC TERRORISTS AND NEED 2 B ELIMINATED USING ANY METHOD
The similarities between BLM and Hamas are many. One of the chief ones is that money given to them to “help” their constituencies is instead spent corruptly on their own agendas. BLM “leaders” buy themselves mansions and real estate and Hamas uses their “contributions” to buy arms and accumulate graft rather than providing services to their “brothers.”
BLM is not only a terrorist group in this country but are the main group behind all the riots in different cities they hate this country and hate white people. Our great so called president and VP cater to these people we do not need these communist in this country there main goal in life is to destroy this country. They should be sent to the Hamas since that is what kind of people are just like them our country do not need this group. If we had better leadership in this country this would never happen we need President Trump back.
I’m wondering after seeing wonderful Afro-American families appearing in all TV commercials acting like our white-style living here. I hope they will follow the same pattern inside of their residence. Would BLM dislike our present advertising on TV and media?
Send BLM and Hamas over we’ll fix them up.
I hope these groups go down the drain along with Hamas once people figure out their devious and evil motivation… Maybe the tide is changing already…
I’m sure most blacks don’t approve of the terrorism that occurred in Israel. BLM is just a Marxist group of individuals excluded from being true Americans.
It’s a sad day when the marxist democrat party and some of their members support blm,hamas,hezbollah,open borders,planned parenthood killing babies , transforming teenagers gender and the destruction of America!
THROW THEM OUT
Stand up for God, Family and Our Country!
