Eyad Hallaq was a 32 year old Palestinian man who was shot dead by Israeli police. He was on his way to a special education school in occupied East Jerusalem when he was approached by Israeli police who accused him of being a terrorist because he was wearing gloves. Frightened by their shouting and weaponry, Eyad attempted to flee which resulted in him being shot and killed by multiple Israeli police officers. Israeli police and intelligence agents then searched Eyad's family's home, essentially tearing it apart and then cursed at this family members. It should be noted that the pattern of police brutality is not a coincidence. Israeli and US police train together often and share many of the same tactics, including the "knee on the neck" that killed George Floyd earlier this week. More about this here “He never had problems with the police. In the morning we received a call from the special needs facility, telling us our son had been killed.” |

Polaris Seltzeris elmon I meant that all people, straight or LGBT, Muslim or Christian, Black or Brown, deserve the chance to live. I didn't mean to insult the blacks. It's just there's also a lot of stuff against brown people and yellow people as well as latin americans, it's funny how 1 in 6 british people are actually British and white but the racism is the other way round :/

Nobody was shouting "all lives matter" when black lives matter wasn't a thing. |

Nobody was shouting "all lives matter" when black lives matter wasn't a thing. Continuing with this, as a gay jew-- all lives can't matter until black lives matter. There's work to be done in many communities. But we need to fight for each other. If we don't, then other non-privileged peoples won't have people to support them during their movements. There's many issues, but you need a place to start. I won't expect a black person to support me if I don't support them. Edit: I forgot to add that what this thread is absolutely dispicable and my heart goes out to those effected by this gross act. I didn't post before bc I didn't want to repeat what others already said that I agree w. |
