BLM Chicago has gone on a posting rampage as it doubles down on its support for Palestine – even though the group issued a sarcastic apology and deleted the post using an image of a paraglider.
They removed the original post that showed a paraglider with a Palestinian flag pointing out of his parachute – the image is similar to the Hamas terrorists who paraglided into an Israeli music festival to viciously murder 260 innocent attendees.
Their half-hearted, sarcastic apology on Wednesday read: ‘Yesterday we sent out msgs [messages] that we aren’t proud of.
‘We stand with Palestine & the people who will do what they must to live free.
‘Our hearts are with, the grieving mothers, those rescuing babies from rubble, who are in danger of being wiped out completely.’
The BLM Chicago branch made abundantly clear their position regarding the recent terror attacks in Israel with a slew of pro-Palestinian graphics shared across its social media – but they deleted it, and issued a lukewarm apology on Wednesday

Following the removal of the post, the BLM account continued to show their apathy for Israelis and – while apologizing – continued perpetuating their stance.
The account wrote: ‘Zionist haters worried if kids are running this account, here’s some young folk who are determining the future of this city & also helping to stop cop city in Atlanta.
‘Maybe y’all are around incapable kids idk but ours are our heroes, our future, they can type if they wanna.’
They added the lukewarm apology: ‘Anything is possible! Never did we think we’d be apologizing to zionists & we certainly never imagined they would organize for us. Free Palestine. Free Us All.’
The account also posted memes reveling in the act of blocking ‘zionists’ from their feed.
In response to a different X account posting the Israeli flag with the words ‘I pray for Israel,’ BLM Chicago responded: ‘Us too, God please unharden Israels heart & help them to stop bombing children & taking over peoples homes & building fences, god please help them see the beauty & peace that can come of ending genocidal behavior.’
Their ‘apology’ was slammed by many online. One person wrote: ‘It’s literally the same message without pictures.’
Another added: ‘You was proud and you thought the liberals would support you. Now that the left is divided on this issue you want to backtrack.’
As has been the case in most major US cities, pro-Palestinian protestors gathered Monday on the streets of Chicago to cheer on the Palestinian cause, which in this latest bout of terrorism has led to, among other things, the beheading of babies.
It’s not clear that the Chicago BLM branch were among the protestors in Chicago.
BLM Chicago is just one of the many BLM branches around the country, including the entire grassroots organization, that has publicly backed Palestinian fighters over Israel in the days since the attacks started.
Alongside the paraglider image, BLM Chicago also attempted to sow division along racial lines by posting a graphic displaying images of celebrities who have spoken out in support for Israel in recent days.
The image included Sarah Paulson, David Schwimmer, Kylie Jenner, and Madonna, and contrasted them with those who support or have supported the Palestinian cause, who include Angela Davis, Malala, Malcolm X, and Nelson Mandela.
‘Notice anything about those who support Israel and those who support Palestine?’ reads the graphic, implying that people of color should align themselves against white people in support of the Palestinians.
Since its founding the Black Lives Matter movement has supported the Palestinian cause, frequently referring to Israel, its people and its governments as oppressors.
In the spring of 2021, when Israel and the Palestinians last traded rockets, BLM released several statements in support of Palestinians, and against Israelis, whom they called settler colonialists.
‘Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians. We are a movement committed to ending settler colonialism in all forms and will continue to advocate for Palestinian liberation. (always have. And always will be),’ BLM said in 2021.
The organization’s avid support for so-called Palestinian freedom fighters has not gone unnoticed, and many online and even more publicly are disavowing the organization.

As in most major US cities, pro-Palestinian protestor gathered to commend the violent actions of the so-called freedom fighters who killed 1,200 Israelis over the weekend
Retired NBA All-Star and American-Israeli citizen Amar’e Stoudemire posted a video message earlier this week, calling out politicians and BLM leaders alike for failing to condemn Hamas in the immediate aftermath of the terror attacks.
‘For all y’all Black Lives Matter [supporters] who ain’t saying nothing… ‘Well let me figure out exactly what’s happening before I say anything.’ F*** you,” he said.
‘Figure out what? It ain’t never been cool to kidnap kids and put them in cages. Ain’t never been cool to kill women and elderly. Never been, no matter where you from, what you represent, what tribe you from, it don’t matter. It ain’t never been no cool thing. That ain’t never been nothing nobody supported.
‘And then you go and hide and put the kids in front of you as a barricade. That’s some coward s****,’ he added, referring to the common tactic employed by Hamas operatives of placing command centers nearby, on top of, or underneath schools and hospitals.
Stoudemire has been a public supporter of Israel even before becoming a dual citizen, and actually had a well-publicized meeting with then-Israeli president Shimon Peres in 2013.
