The Islamist Takeover of George Floyd

From the moment that video of Floyd’s death went viral, Palestinian activists throughout the U.S. and abroad tried to turn the subsequent protests against police brutality into an American Intifada and Floyd himself into a shaheed (martyr). Some “protesters” in American cities have displayed Palestinian flags, worn Palestinian keffiyehs and even adopted Palestinian tactics, like the Molotov cocktail-throwing Palestinian activist lawyer Urooj Rahman. Likewise, Floyd’s image has been photographed throughout Palestinian territories, and his name has become a regular component of anti-Israel protests.
