The leading Black Lives Matter organization declared “solidarity with Palestinians” Monday.
The declaration comes amid the bloody battle between Israel and Hamas.
The recent conflict was apparently sparked by efforts to evict Palestinian families in east Jerusalem and Israeli police aggression at Al-Aqsa Mosque.
The Black Lives Matter movement has voiced its support for the Palestinians as the deadly conflict between Israel and Hamas militants has intensified.
“Black Lives Matter stands in solidarity with Palestinians,” the group announced from its official Twitter page Monday.
“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),” the group said along with the hashtag #freepalestine.
