"Growing Black American Support for Palestinians Challenges Jewish Alliances"
Black Americans are increasingly showing solidarity with Palestinians, viewing their struggle for equality and civil rights as interconnected. However, this growing alliance is straining the century-long relationship between Black and Jewish activists, with concerns about antisemitism and the potential weakening of Jewish-Black ties. While some Jewish Americans worry about the escalation of support for Palestinians, many understand that Black Americans can have an affinity for the Palestinian cause without conflicting with their regard for Israel. Generational divides and progressive views within the Jewish American community also contribute to differing perspectives on Israel's policies. The recent rise of protest movements against police brutality in the US has further deepened ties between Black and Palestinian activists.
