I documented the infiltration and hijacking in a series of posts and an Op-Ed in The NY Post:
...This is all part of a larger effort, particularly on U.S. campuses, to use intersectional theory to tie domestic race issues into Palestinian complaints about Israel, among other ways, through exaggeration and in some cases fabrication of alleged Israeli training of U.S. police. That way, any use of excessive force by a U.S. policeman is cause for anti-Israel activists to blame Israel and try to stoke hatred of Israel in domestic communities.
Its a sick tactic, but it is one deeply ingrained in the anti-Israel movement in the U.S., which has sought to foment and exploit racial tensions long before Ferguson.
One of the groups spearheading the attempt to co-opt the #BlackLivesMatter movement is Dream Defenders, which carries a Tides Foundation logo on its website. The Tides Foundation is a major funder of left-wing activist groups, including groups exploiting the Ferguson riots and conflict.
Ill have more on its efforts in the future, but for now its worth focusing on a trip the group organized to tie Ferguson into the Palestinian dispute. The #DDPalestine hashtag is used for the event.
The group produced a video (embedded at bottom of post) of a flash mob it organized in Nazareth in Israel (which they referred to as being in Palestine):

Another "critic" against occupation who supports "resistance" (terror against Jews). Stay classy, Marc Lamont Hill. I love how he says in the video with Dershowitz that he doesn't support Hamas, and yet he supports terror attacks. Amazing how Jew hatred rots the brain...

(44,173 posts)At least that's what I thought it was; that's what it was advertised as being. Instead, it was a mixed stew of anti-Iraq War, anti-Israel, pro-choice, pro-labor, pro-LGBT, pro-environment and animal rights (animal rights?) demonstrators.
The Left tends to want to link every cause together, even when the connections are bizarre and non-existent.

(26,060 posts)Our entire family was out in San Francisco just before we invaded Iraq and we all wanted to go and show our support for the anti-war cause - it would have been 3 generations of our family showing up there for this cause. On our way - we saw the answer imbeciles with Israeli flags where the Star of David was replaced with a swastica - we expressed our disgust, turned around and went out for lunch instead.
