Boston University’s Students for Justice in Palestine and Umoja, a black student group, hosted a panel discussion Wednesday claiming Africans Americans and Palestinians both suffer under “fascist states.”
The event held at Boston University’s School of Law explored connections between the Black Lives Matter movement in the U.S. and the Palestinian liberation movement in Israel, and was titled Imprisonment of a People: From the U.S. to Palestine.
The panel was led by Shaun King, a writer for The New York Daily News and a Black Lives Matter activist, who was joined by ACLU attorney Carl Williams, attorney Oren Nimni, and PhD Harvard Graduate and Palestinian activist Yamila Hussein.
The event began with leaders of Umoja calling for a moment of silence for those who have fallen to police brutality.
The discussion opened with the topic of how mass incarceration in the U.S. focuses on prison enslavement of blacks and the problem of racial disparities within prisons, which the speakers blamed on white supremacy that they claim is built into the legal framework.
This set the tone for the rest of the night, which focused on white supremacy and the similarities between the U.S. and Israel with respect to the oppression of blacks and Palestinians, respectively.
“I think it is really easy to look at the U.S. and Israel,” Nimni said. “They are authoritative and fascist states.”
