We’re trying to end American structural racism. Why are we supporting Israeli apartheid?
On April 20, a Minnesota jury convicted former white Minneapolis policeman Derek Chauvin of killing African-American George Floyd. While far from dismantling systemic racism in the U.S., the verdict is a mini milestone for justice and incentive to press on.
Paradoxically, as movement for American racial justice is fortified, the U.S. government continues to support the structural racism of another country, Israel, with billions of our tax dollars, thereby corrupting American values and violating international law.
Recognition of Israel as an apartheid state is growing.
