In a powerful and rousing live address to students at the City University of New York (CUNY) on Friday night, the incarcerated Black political activist Mumia Abu-Jamal praised the pro-Palestinian movement growing at US colleges as being on the right side of history.
“It is a wonderful thing that you have decided not to be silent and decided to speak out against the repression that you see with your own eyes,” Abu-Jamal, a former Black Panther, said while calling from Pennsylvania’s Mahanoy state prison. “You are part of something massive, and you are part of something that is on the right side of history.
“You’re against a colonial regime that steals the land from the people who are Indigenous to that area. I urge you to speak out against the terrorism that is afflicted upon Gaza with all of your might, all of your will and all of your strength. Do not bow to those who want you to be silent.”
Terrible terrorist loving pieces of shit.
Fuck Hamas, fuck rape, fuck murder, fuck terrorists, fuck jihadists.
You have no place in the world
Hamas belongs in the same place the Israeli government does, for largely the same crimes.
Oh look, an eleven-day-old account equating the entire civilian population of Gaza with Hamas. What a surprise!
Go away, troll.
Fuck zionists
you have no place in this world cunt
Reminder that Abu-Jamal is in prison for murder
in prison for murder
Absolutely untrue.
While a police officer was beating his younger brother for driving while black, Abu-Jamal was nearby and came to the rescue, shooting at the police officer who died after shooting Mumia.
Mumia Abu-Jamal is in prison for defending his brother from racist police violence.
When police are involved in an illegal act, they deserve every bit of the same treatment as any other civilian.
If someone breaks down my door in a mask, screaming and pointing guns around, I’m not going to stop and ask if they have badges or a warrant, I’m gonna defend my life, my family, and my property.
If someone is beating my sibling to death, I’m not going to sit back, shrug, and say “well he should have tried cooperating harder, nothing I can do but watch” I’m going to defend my family from attempted murder
Classic ad hominem attack…
Considering that the appeal here is that he is an ex-black Panther this doesn’t seem to me as an ad hominem attack.
Reminder that there are questions on how fair his trial was. Convicted of murder is not committed murder
Based on the facts of the case as presented by the cops themselves, not murder and not even attempted murder.
Defense, plain and simple.
