Video: Reconnecting Israel and Black America
(JNS) Dan Diker and Khaled Abu Toameh - Israel, the American black community, and Jews have a long relationship. Recently, however, that relationship has become strained due to rising antisemitism and intersectional ideology that conflates black and Palestinian identities. Pastor Dumisani Washington, founder of the Institute for Black Solidarity with Israel, has been inspired by Israel's story and message. In a new video, he shares his experiences with a diverse group of pastors, including Asians, Latinos and black Americans, who were impressed with Israel's multiethnic and democratic nature. According to Khaled Abu Toameh, Israel's integration with the Arab world greatly worries the Palestinian Authority and other Palestinian groups. The PA has established a special team to combat Israel's attempts to "penetrate" the African continent.
