Black Lives Matter co-founder Patrisse Cullors called for the end of Israel in a 2015 panel at the Harvard Law School.

In an April 2015 panel hosted by the Human Rights Program at Harvard, entitled 'Globalizing Ferguson: Radicalized Policing and International Resistance,' Cullors shared her experience visiting the West Bank and Gaza with a delegation of other leftists.

She said she saw 'violence' and 'terror' being committed by 'Israelis and Zionists' at the expense of Palestinians.


'Palestine is our generation's South Africa,' she told the students. 'If we don't step up boldly and courageously to end the imperialist project that's called Israel, we're doomed.'

She also claimed: 'Nothing would've prepared me for the militarization and terror' that she saw while she visited the area, and told the students 'We're complicit in that' due to the United States' alliance with Israel.

She encouraged supporters to join the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions movement, which seeks to put financial pressure on Israel to change its policies toward Palestine by boycotting and divesting from Israeli businesses.

Every year, the United States and Israel trade close to $50 billion in goods and services, according to the State Department. Additionally, the United States supports Israel's security financially, providing $3.3 billion to Foreign Military Financing and $500 million for cooperative programs for missile defense every year under the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding between the two countries.

The United States was the first country to recognize Israel as a state in 1948, and the Trump administration became the first to recognize Jerusalem as the capital of Israel in 2017.

The Boycott Israel movement has thus far failed to have an affect on Israel's economy, according to the Anti-Defamation League, but does serve to spread anti-Israel sentiment.

Cullors announced she was stepping down from Black Lives Matter on Friday, amid controversy over her $3 million property portfolio.

Hank Newsome, the head of Black Lives Matter Greater New York City, called for an 'independent investigation' into the foundation's finances. The two organizations are not affiliated.

Cullors, a self-described Marxist, denies receiving a salary from the foundation, but critics claim she might be using donations to the foundation to line her pockets. She has denied those claims, and says her income comes from other sources, like book sales and a YouTube deal.

Still, she announced on Thursday she was stepping down from her position as executive director of the Black Lives Matter Global Network Foundation after five years in the position to focus on other projects, like the release of her second book and a television deal with Warner Bros.

'I've created the infrastructure and the support, and the necessary bones and foundation, so that I can leave,' Cullors stated. 'It feels like the time is right.'

But her departure comes after it was revealed last month that she has amassed a $3 million property portfolio, despite describing herself as a trained Marxist''.

Cullors faced fierce backlash over revelations about her personal spending - including the recent purchase of a $1.4 million home in a ritzy L.A. neighborhood.

It caused many to question what percentage of BLM donations were actually going towards social justice programs, although there is no suggestion of any wrongdoing on the part of Cullors.

On Friday, Cullors was slammed by mothers of black sons and daughters killed by police over her alleged greed.

'I don't believe she is going anywhere,' said Samaria Rice, the mother of 12-year-old Tamir Rice who was shot dead by Cleveland police as he played with a toy gun.

'It's all a facade. She's only saying that to get the heat off her right now,' she told the New York Post.
