This small demonstration in Bethlehem has all the hallmarks of what Palestinians always do: try to hijack any trendy cause and make it about them.
While protesters worldwide are trying to understand the pain that black Americans feel, Palestinians are confidently declaring that they know all about oppression.
First of all, they try to equate the killing of George Floyd with the (admittedly horrible) killing of Eyad al-Halaq. That already waters down any sympathy they might have for George Floyd.
They chant “Black Lives Matter. Palestinian Lives Matter.”
Listen to the interviews. Every Palestinian says that they know about oppression more than black Americans do.
There is no empathy. Instead, there is a game of “we are more oppressed so we are qualified to talk about police brutality.”
