Do Black lives matter to Palestinians? Only when speaking to Western audiences.

The US Palestinian Community network posted a letter, supposedly written by the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions – Gaza Strip, supporting a general strike in the US Monday in support of Black Lives Matter:

 

 

This letter was not posted on the website of the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions – Gaza Strip.

It was not posted to their Twitter account.

It was not posted to their Facebook account.

The organization changed its name from the Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions – Gaza Strip (as can be seen in this letter that they tweeted in January 2019) to the “Gaza Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions.” This letter from yesterday shows that their official communication has dates, a stamp and a signature.

 

 

Either there is a tiny offshoot that still uses the old name – which cannot be found anywhere on the Web – or this letter was forged.

Either way, I cannot find any statement of support for Black Lives Matter in the major Palestinian trade union websites. They only pretend to care about Black lives for propaganda purposes.
