Anti-Israel Activists Co-Opt Trump Travel Ban Protest To Condemn Israel

Anti-Israel activists at a number of demonstrations across the US over the weekend appeared to co-opt protests against President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban executive order by leading chants of "From Palestine to Mexico, all the walls have got to go!" or variations thereof.


A video of the slogan being chanted in LA can be seen below:


Such chants were reportedly heard at airports in Los Angeles, San Francisco, Chicago, Austin, Detroit and Baltimore, among other locations, as protesters rallied against the executive order, which imposes temporary travel restrictions on incomers from seven Middle Eastern nations -- Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen.

Two and a half months ago , as reported by The Algemeiner, anti-Israel activists sought to hijack left-wing protests that erupted across the US following Trump's victory over Hillary Clinton in the Nov. 8 election.

Chants heard at some of those protests included, "There is only one solution...intifada revolution," and "Trump, Obama, you will feel the intifada."

Activists have become increasingly obsessed with "Shut it Down" protest tactics, and a proud politics of "disrespectability," which prioritizes resistance to a "corrupt," "rigged" socio-economic system over respectful discourse and political compromise.


This helps to explain the sympathetic attitude of Black Lives Matter activists towards groups like Hamas, which embrace terror as a mode of resistance against Israel. Indeed, Black Lives Matter activists have visited Gaza to express solidarity with Palestinians oppressed by so-called racist Israeli self-defense measures. 

While Black Lives Matter claims to disavow violence in securing its political objectives, many of its most prominent members are far more eager to criticize the "Israeli genocide of Palestinians" than to criticize Hamas for using rockets to target Israeli civilians.
