Как черную евангелическую деноминацию обманули, чтобы она «благословила» Израиль

«Насчитывает более 40 миллионов чернокожих американцев, они тратят более 1,3 триллиона долларов в год, поэтому мы измеримый рынок, измеримая группа людей, которую легко идентифицировать, и мы думаем, что также можем внести свой вклад в развитие Израиля». — Гленн Пламмер, епископ Израиля

The Church of God in Christ, or COGIC, is certainly not the first evangelical group to embrace the state of Israel. But unlike most evangelical denominations, this one is mostly African American.

Возмещение ущерба и право палестинцев на возвращение: две стороны одной кровавой монеты

И в Израиле, и в США разговоры о репарациях и праве палестинцев на возвращение задушены аргументами, объясняющими, почему должна продолжаться несправедливость, и стремлением к существующему положению.

The calls “Black Lives Matter” and “Free, Free Palestine,” serve to remind us that Palestine is not free and that if the lives of Black people mattered, there would be no need for the call. In both cases, people are in the grips of a cruel, racist system that refuses to let go. In both cases, people are being hunted down, caged, strangled, and shot

Deborah Goldring stands inside her Baltimore home. From growing up black in the segregated 1960s, Goldring pulled herself out of poverty and earned a middle-class life - until the Great Recession. First, her husband fell ill, and they drained savings to pay for nursing homes before he died. Then Goldring lost her executive assistant job of 17 years. Then came a letter from the bank, intending to foreclose on her home of almost three decades. For Goldring and many others in the black community, where unemployment is still rising, job loss has knocked them out of the middle class and back into poverty.
