Black Lives Matter (BLM) was condemned after chapters across the United States voiced their support for the terrorist attack that Hamas carried out against Israeli civilians, with X owner Elon Musk weighing in.

“As Black people continue the fight to end militarism and mass incarceration in our own communities, let us understand the resistance in Palestine as an attempt to tear down the gates of the world’s largest open-air prison,” BLM Grassroots, which represents dozens of Black Lives Matter chapters in various cities, wrote in an Oct. 9 post on X, formerly Twitter.
