All valid points! But surely you agree that there is a long history of Black and Palestinian alliances? Angela Davis and James Baldwin have spoken out vocally in favor of Palestinian rights, to name just two. Your comments are an important reminder that not all Black Americans feel that way. Unfortunately it is true that people of African origin are discriminated in many parts of the world, not only in Europe. However, links like these suggest that the history is not only one of oppression: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afro-Palestinians
