University department promotes BLM leader’s anti-Israel post

What’s the relationship between BLM, anti-semitism, and pro-Hamas sentiments? 

In case you didn’t know, #WhiteTears is a new BLM hashtag. 

With the United States opening its brand-new embassy in Jerusalem over a week ago, the Israeli/Palestinian conflict has once again come to the forefront of political discourse. University of Cincinnati students took to social media expressing their differing opinions on both sides of the conflict, but one post caught the eyes of several in the UC community. 

On Wednesday, May 16, the official Facebook page for the Office of Student Activities and Leadership Development (SALD) shared a post from Black Lives Matter de facto leader, Shaun King, which called Gaza an “open-air prison.” 

The post makes one-sided claims, and SALD represents a multitude of student organizations, some of which do not share the same sentiment on this issue.
