Washington, DC – Former Black Panther member and leader of the Communist
Party USA Angela Davis spoke at George Washington University
at an event hosted by Students for Justice in “Palestine,” the GW
Black Student Union, and the GW Feminist Student Union to talk about social
justice and the non-existent state of “Palestine.”
Davis, who was once on the FBI’s
Most-Wanted List for providing weapons to her fellow Black
Panther terrorists who took hostages and committed a massacre in a Marin
County courthouse, falsely accused Israel
of committing “ethnic cleansing” and called for its de facto
destruction in an attempt to liberate “Palestine.” She argued for
Israel’s destruction under the guises of social justice and
“anti-colonialism.”
We say no to Israel’s ethnic cleansing strategies. In standing up
against the racism of the state of Israel, we are passionately saying no to
antisemitism as well. This is supposed to be the dismantling of the era of
Israeli occupation of Palestine. It has been long and coming.
In addition to defending the same position as
Hamas, Davis claimed that Israel acquires its tear gas that it uses to disrupt
Palestinian-Arab riots in Judea and Samaria from the same company that provided
tear gas to the police at Ferguson, Missouri. This talking point is common
amongst Black Lives Matter activists and Hamas apologists trying to appeal to
emotions between the African-American community and the Palestinian-Arab
community.
