BLM’s Misguided Sympathy for Hamas: Pastor Dumisani Washington

"They have these torture facilities, sometimes right next to school. The kids can hear the people being tortured in Gaza. These kinds of guys are screaming out because Hamas is torturing them. Where's BLM? Where are they when these types of human rights abuses happen on a daily basis?" In this episode, I sit down with Pastor Dumisani Washington, founder and CEO of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel and the author of “Zionism and the Black Church.” "These rallies are just slogans, hashtags, and a complete demonization of Israel, which is why we're seeing attacks on Jewish people—on Jewish neighborhoods," says Pastor Washington. How did Black Lives Matter become anti-Israel? What is the origin of the terms “Palestine” and “Palestinian”? And how was the Soviet Union involved in creating the Palestinian national movement? "The PLO [Palestine Liberation Organization] is a creation of the KGB," says Pastor Washington. "One of the KGB agents that defected explained that the liberation movements—many of them were crafted there, not for the help of people who may even have been legitimately struggling, but for the purpose of exploiting those people." Pastor Washington believes that anti-Israel protesters are, knowingly or not, doing PR for terrorists, promoting a version of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict that is not only false, but a cover for Hamas. "You're not concerned about the honor killings. You're not concerned about the fact that gays get thrown off the rooftops in Gaza. You're not concerned that the people of Gaza have regularly protested Hamas to their peril," says Pastor Washington.
