Why Palestine is a key issue on the streets of Ferguson

"Incredible displays of mutual solidarity between Ferguson and Palestine have been featured regularly in the streets of St. Louis and beyond since Brown’s grisly slaying on 9 August. And the “weekend of resistance” was no exception.

Among the hundreds of people who answered Ferguson’s call that weekend were dozens of Palestine solidarity activists who came as part of the Palestine Contingent."

I have seen so many many signs attesting to this, in the US and in Palestine.
True Solidarity!
This is what we need throughout the world.

And frankly it's disgusting that palestinian "activists" are trying to co-op the events in furguson and elsewhere to spread their lies.
