Connecting Black Lives Matter and Syrian Lives Matter
Connecting Black Lives Matter and Syrian Lives Matter
2/ Despite the differences in the historical experiences of African American freedom fighters and Syrian revolutionaries, both have something in common:
3/ ...Being treated as the dehumanized “other,” and suffering from the ways in which prejudice and discrimination have been used to impede their struggles for social justice.
4/ Frieda Afary

“When we revolt, it is not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because for many reasons we can no longer breathe.” Frantz Fanon*

“When we revolt, it is not for a particular culture. We revolt simply because for many reasons we can no longer breathe.” Frantz Fanon*
5/ It struck me that some Black Lives Matter activists in the United States, and the authors of Burning Country: Syrians in Revolution and War ** have used the above quotation from Frantz Fanon to represent the universality of their respective struggles.
6/ Let’s take this shared interest in Fanon’s statement as a point of departure to ask what African Americans fighting against racism/for human dignity, and Syrians who participated in the 2011 Syrian revolution have in common. https://allianceofmesocialists.org/connecting-black-lives-matter-syrian-lives-matter/
George Floyd was Syrian! https://www.reuters.com/article/uk-un-assembly-syria-idUSKBN26H12A
The article from Alliance for Me Socialists on August of 2016, references the same George Floyd narrative “I can’t breathe” which was a quote from July 2016 by Franz Fannon.

(Cont.) The following is an example of this Kurdish Communist, ANTIFA, BLM alliance with al-Qaeda mixed in.
What looks like a BLM Twitter account is really an al-Qaeda acct in Brooklyn, NY.
NYC is home to several radicalized Mosques.

The Base acct pinned tweet:
“The only way to overcome woke whitey’s psychological condition is...to gain even a small % of the courage of the black adolescent & overcome their white guilt w/a stone & a Molotov cocktail”—The We Still Outside Collective.

<The Base> Twitter account RTd ANTIFA London’s post morning the loss of their Kurdish comrade Josh below.
Celebrating Pennsylvania, political prisoner Jihad Abdulmumit who was released from prison. A former Black Panther in New Jersey, and a soldier in the Black Liberation Army, Abdulmumit served 22 years in prison for an expropriation.
The Base account tells us much about alliances and activities. Here we see the support for BLM? Breonna Taylor, and anti-police attacks.
Here is a website that explores part of the global movement, beginning w/messages sent by the Internationalist Commune of Rojava, the Rheinmetall Entwaffnen Alliance, and Plan C and the Kurdistan Solidarity Network.
These messages were read at each others’ mobilisations and demonstrations across the world...
From the Internationalist Commune of Rojava;
Dear friends, dear comrades,
From the Heart of the Revolution in the Middle East, from the Internationalist Commune, we send our solidarity and love to those taking to the streets all over the planet...

Can we really believe FBI Dir Wray when he tells us that ANTIFA is not organized, that white supremacy is the real threat, or the media when they proclaim that BLM is engaged in peaceful protest while our cities burn?
Can we afford to ignore that Corp America and our own State dept is funding these movements?

Syria today. Real oppression.
Today’s American cities where American black lives matter claims to be oppressed.
What happens when Democrats/ are allowed to control education, neocons/rhinos team up with them to institute mass immigration without thought, and the media is allowed to brainwash masses for political purpose rather than educate.
Al-Qaeda? Hmmm. https://policyoptions.irpp.org/magazines/july-2020/al-qaeda-is-suddenly-framing-itself-as-a-black-lives-matter-champion/
