The group Black Lives Matter (BLM) Chicago publicly showed its support for the attacks and massacre by Hamas terrorists against Israeli citizens.
In a post on X, formerly Twitter, BLM Chicago shared an image that depicts a person paragliding with a Palestinian flag tied to his parachute. The text inside the image reads: "I stand with Palestine." Many of the Hamas terrorists landed on Israeli soil in parachutes.
The radical group captioned the photo: "That is all that is it!"

Users recalled that this image reflects the death of 260 innocent people (due to Hamas terrorists parachuting down to attack a music festival taking place in Israel).
The post was criticized by many users on social media due to the clear message of support for the Hamas terrorists who have caused the deaths of more than 1,200 Israelis. Elon Musk, owner of X, responded to the post with his own message: "Your position is clear."
Your position is clear

BLM and its anti-Israel hate
This is not the only post in which BLM has shown support for the massacre. They have reposted several messages from other accounts justifying the terrorist attacks and the war they caused. One of the posts was the following:
Israel and Gaza are not two countries at war. Gaza is a territory under siege, where every aspect of life is controlled by Israel.

But anti-Israel hate is nothing new in BLM. A video released by Action and Communication on the Middle East (ACOM) recalls how the group's co-founder, Patrisse Cullors, called to "step up boldly and courageously to end to the imperialist project that's called Israel" and warns that if this is not done, "we're doomed."
