Black lives DO matter so very much, along with all those 248 Gazans, including 65 children and 12 Israelis from last week. 73 years of violence and injustice and STILL the deaths don't matter.
Black lives have never mattered for the West. My ancestors are responsible for centuries of slavery and for collecting those lands they chose to take in colonial endeavour. Whites chose to be dominant and to be domineering in their exploration, trading and sheer piracy on the high seas to set a most disgraceful and wicked example.
Blacks chose to be content with their own lands much more than us whites. We whites still like to think we matter more. But it exposes our racism, superiority and supremacy that led to wars around the world and the theft of people and resources. Not very nice attributes!
Hamas is the direct result of Israeli settler-colonialism, Israeli meddling, and the rage of Palestinian people at decades of oppression and dispossession and living under the boot of the Israeli military.
"The region must recognise the right of Israel to exist" Biden on 22.5.21
But that is not the issue. The West makes so much of it but it is a sideline to the real matter of injustice, oppression and keeping the Palestinians subjugated. Under the heel of the Israelis. Just like they were about 2,500 years ago when they were enslaved by the Egyptians.
