How Black Folks Really Feel About the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict​

Unless you’re under a rock right now, you know that a deadly war has erupted in the Middle East this weekend.

Palestinian militants launched a surprise attack on Israel on Saturday, marking one of the most violent battles in recent years. It brought the longstanding and persistent issue of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict to the forefront, a conflict that has plagued the Middle East for decades.

While the conflict has flooded national and international headlines, Black folks have taken to social media to voice their opinions. Some have taken sides as the Americans have often done amid the persistent warfare in the Gaza Strip, but many think we should sit this one out.

Here are a few of the top reactions:




Here’s the latest:

The casualty count has now surpassed 1,000 people, with Israeli media reporting at least 700 Israeli fatalities and the local health ministry in Palestine confirming 560 Palestinian casualties.

The mobilization of hundreds of thousands of reservists is currently underway.

Netanyahu issued a warning to Palestinian residents, urging them to evacuate areas where militants are present and emphasizing Israel’s intention to dismantle all Hamas hideouts.

Meanwhile, U.S. Sen. Cory Booker says that he was out for a jog in Israel when the chaos started, forcing him to seek cover.

I'm sure black Twitter has well-informed opinions from high-quality sources on this nuanced topic and equally sure that their takes are eloquent and articulate.

That's rich.

I would venture about 33% of Blacks couldn't find the US on a map much less locate Israel.

I trust they can find Israel.

It’ll be that new hole.

Ypipo: "Psh... supporting Israel doesn't help us whites at all"

Enlightened geniuses on Kiwi Farms: "Bravo, bravo! What an insightful take"

Pavement apes: "Tch... supporting Israel don't help us blacks at all"

Enlightened geniuses on Kiwi Farms: "Booo! Booo! Get these race-baiting narcissists off the stage!"

I think it works something like this;
Whites: "Why should we have to pay for another war?"
Blacks: "Das rite! pay fo us instead!"

Either way the world would be a better place if the entire Middle East was just turned into one massive crater.
