Chapters of far-left Black Lives Matter expressed support this week for Palestinians murdering Jews just days after Hamas terrorists launched the largest terror attacks Israel has ever encountered, murdering more than 1,000 Israelis and injuring 2,600+ more.

The attacks on Saturday, which drew strong international condemnation from many, also resulted in the deaths of at least 14 Americans and some U.S. citizens being taken hostage.

“When a people have been subject to decades of apartheid and unimaginable violence, their resistance must not be condemned, but understood as a desperate act of self-defense,” Black Lives Matter Grassroots posted on X.

The organization said that it stood “in solidarity with our Palestinian family who are currently resisting 57 years of settler colonialism and apartheid.”

The group repeated the false claim that Gaza was “the world’s largest open air prison” and compared their alleged struggles to the alleged struggles of the Palestinian people.

“We, too, understand what it means to be surveilled, dehumanized, property seized, families separated, our people criminalized and slaughtered with impunity, locked up in droves, and when we resist they call us terrorists,” they claimed. “We, too, dream of a world where our people may live freely on decolonized land. May the borders, checkpoints, prisons, police and watchlists that terrorize our communities crumble and may the world we build from their ashes honor those who have fallen in struggle.”

“For lasting peace to come, the entire apartheid system must be dismantled. The war on the Palestinian people must cease,” the statement concluded. “We call on the United States government to immediately stop funding war and redirect the $4 billion in annual spending from the Israeli military to repair the damage caused by U.S.-backed wars, military air strikes, coups, and destabilizing interventions against oppressed people around the world.”

Black Lives Matter Chicago appeared to go even one step further, posting a photo showing a paratrooper with a Palestinian flag that stated: “I stand with Palestine.”

The photo is significant because many of the Hamas terrorists who attacked Israel on Saturday crossed the border with parachutes.

Utterly sickening from Black Lives Matter in Chicago.

And they have used an image of a paraglider like the ones who swooped into an Israeli music festival and murdered, raped, mutilated, and paraded beaten civilians back to Gaza. pic.twitter.com/76OAEyNfr5

Senator Tim Scott (R-SC) said on Tuesday that Hamas terrorists — who perpetrated a series of unprovoked and brutal attacks on Israeli soldiers and civilians — needed to “feel the wrath of God” in response to their actions.

Scott, who was speaking at Washington, D.C.’s Hudson Institute as part of a series featuring 2024 presidential candidates, also suggested that Hamas might soon face the business end of some Israeli or American “military hardware.”

The Associated Press’ Meg Kinnard reported on Scott’s remarks, saying that the presidential hopeful said those guilty of the devastating attacks on Israel should be prepared to “feel the wrath of God.”

“And they need to meet some Israeli or American military hardware to help them on their way,” Scott added.

The South Carolina senator continued to call out President Joe Biden during his speech as well, saying that his administration had telegraphed weakness to the world, and in so doing, had opened the door for this and further terror attacks worldwide.

Calling for the return of American hostages, Scott also spends a good bit of time decrying "The Squad" & Democratic Socialists of America for pro-Palestinian sentiments:

"If the DSA & their friends are going to behave like a hate group, we should treat them like a hate group."

Scott also responded to several members of Congress — namely “The Squad” and members of the Democratic Socialists of America — who had voiced pro-Palestinian sentiments and talking points in the days since the attacks began.

“If the DSA and their friends are going to behave like a hate group, we should treat them like a hate group,” Scott said.

Scott took to X to drive his point home with regard to President Biden, saying on Tuesday, “What did Iran say about Biden’s $6B ransom? They said they’d use it however they like. What did Hamas say to Iran? They said thank you for your support. Biden’s weakness invited the attack. Biden’s negotiation funded the attack.”

What did Iran say about Biden’s $6B ransom? They said they’d use it however they like.

Biden’s weakness invited the attack.

Biden’s negotiation funded the attack.

Biden’s proxies have been adamant that the $6 billion in funds that was recently released to Iran had not yet been spent and therefore could not have been used to fund this particular set of attacks. But as a number of people have pointed out, Iran could have used other assets to fund and support the attacks — especially if they knew that another $6 billion was in the offing.
