Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II on Palestine

In his keynote address, Rev. Dr. William J. Barber II draws connections between global systems of oppression from militarism to racism to classism, hammering home the importance of solidarity from Palestine to the US and beyond.
Rev. Dr. William J. Barber, II (@RevDrBarber) is president of Repairers of the Breach, national co-chair of the 2018 Poor People’s Campaign, and leads an alliance of more than 200 progressive organizations best known as “Moral Monday.” This coalition has led justice work in North Carolina for a decade and inspired organizing across the nation. The Washington Post called Barber’s speech at the 2016 Democratic National Convention “the most engaging” of many strong ones. Dr. Barber was recognized as one of the International Black Achievers by the International Slavery Museum in Liverpool England and his portrait now hangs on the Black Achievers Wall in the Legacy gallery.

We 💘 you Rev Barber dry bones live!

In the tradition of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., Rev, Barber is our generation's most important voice on the importance of restoring morality to our culture, society, and politics.

Martin Luther King supported Israel

[@miss_jj]

Amen

[@ehiggins360]

@@dovrose5155 wow, profound , well then let’s negate everything good work he’s ever done! News flash! EVERYONE supported Israel then! The entire truth wasn’t fully known then. Do you really think he would support Israel today knowing what we know?!

[@dovrose5155]

@@ehiggins360 You're spewing ignorance and bigotry. The world looks for any excuse to hate Jews or discredit our right to self determination. Criticism of Israel amounts to denying the jews a right to their own country. No different than denying the Kenyans Kenya or the Vietnamese Vietnam. I believe Dr. King absolutely would support the Jews in their right to a homeland. We have nowhere else to flee to. Antisemitism is rampant in Europe and America. People like you want us to lie down and die in Paris and New York

I've been following Palestinian rights for several years and I've not heard a more powerful speech on the subject.

[@jamesmoses6092]

Amen

Reverend Barber shows us that we don't have to concede Christianity and the lessons of Jesus to the horrible people of the Religious Right.

STATE RESPONSIBILITY

I've received an email with this name (video title) saying things about someone that's going to die of blood cancer, and that just doesn't make sense for me. Can anyone please tell me what's happening?

Brilliant voice, sadly prejudiced views

[@pamelafranklin3452]

Margie Nolastname no he’s not you the one is closed he’s telling the thruth you got to be white

[@summersevening]

You’re turning reality upside down. A voice standing against wrongs, from the destruction of the only planet we have to the war economy and nationalism to violations of international laws and the abuses of human rights happening right now. When a regime formalises discrimination, how can any right thinking person not stand against that? When a regime annexes land and uses force against anyone resisting that wrong, how can any right thinking not stand against that?

[@dianagause8366]

You can't stand against Israel. God said, I'll bless them that bless Israel and curse them that curse Israel. Israel is the Apple of God's eye.

[@JetJock1000]

Yes and God is a real estate agent... But he only assigned land to the Israelis. Everyone else can go to hell. Must be a paid troll

[@keithmason9366]

This man doesn't agree with my spirit. Normally that means if I dig deeper I'll find a devil.

[@michaelnesmith1358]

Brother if your spirit don't align with his maybe you're the Devil. Ever thought about that??? Rev.Barber is Black America's strongest voice in the fight for justice and equality
