Here’s How Fox News Spread A False Narrative Black Lives Matter Is Standing With Hamas
To
A Tuesday article from Fox News has kicked off a budding online misinformation campaign buoying the false claim that activist group Black Lives Matter has come out in support of Gaza’s militant Hamas leaders amid the ongoing conflict with Israel
Thank God we don't have posters propagating this hateful drivel anymore.
Its not really a leap in logic looking at the context.

Let them think what they want, let them define you in their narrow little minds while they suppress every last piece of them just to keep a friend that never liked them for themselves in the first place.
Even if you can argue unless they claim solidarity with a terrorist group, they don't mean solidarity with terrorists, by any measure it is highly inappropriate to be condemning Israel in the midst of a terrorist attack.
It makes it look like you're arguing they deserve what Hamas is doing to innocent civilians, because of the politics between Palestinian and Israeli leaders.

Except of course you can see the stories and tweets from Rightwing news outlets and Rightist pushing a false narrative that Black Lives Matter is in bed, so to speak, with Hamas.
eg "I'm wondering if the woke corporations will stand up against BLM for their allegiance to Hamas terrorists." -Mercedes Schlapp
You can't condone a dog punched into a corner biting the person punching it into said corner but here we are. Palestine has little choice by now, and I say that as someone deeply critical of Islam (and Christianity and Judaism and all religion etc.)
"Both sides" is silly and ahistoric w/ Israel/Palestine. Check the death stats; Palestine has taken vaster casualties by now. Israel is straight murdering them and taking their land.
BLM as a political organisation is not exactly great (no money goes to black lives so wtf lol) but idg why aligning with an oppressed people is exactly out of their ethical range.
Yeah, and? England and Israel both slaughtered way more throughout their history than their opposing sides. I don't lend my hand to Hamas nor Hezbollah nor the IRA, but I still think Palestine and Ireland have a right to be free, and right now Palestine is in the position that Ireland was in circa 1920. Their people deserve our unconditional support and the right to create their own government, and govern their own land without settlers and the IDF ****ing them to death.
I think that's a gross over simplification tbh. But yes, Palestine and Southern Ireland definately deserved to be free. The North is a complex issue as was the mainland bombing campaign, army shoot to kill order etc. etc and not something I'm getting in to tonight.
My point of view ignores their methods, even if it happens to align with their message.
But all I'm saying is if the day after 9/11, we had a ganging up on the USA with claims of support for all the peoples necks our boots are on, I think there would be an outrage from both political parties, and rightly so.
There is nothing wrong in supporting Palestinians. There is something wrong with voicing that support in the wake of a terrorist attack on civilians.
