No, Palestinians don't care about George Floyd

Here is a tweet that is going viral at the moment:


The photo is legit, it came from a wire service last summer.

The implication that Palestinians care about George Floyd or Black Lives Matter is another story.

Today, the day after the verdict in the Derek Chauvin murder trial, I did not see the story mentioned in any of the usual Palestinian news sites I check. I looked at the sites of the three major Palestinian newspapers Al Ayyam, Al Quds  and Al Hayat al Jadida, and I didn't see a single story on their front news pages online. 

That solidarity that the American far-Left like to tout between oppressed groups is a decidedly one-way street.
