debating saying "free palestine" around my black israelite uncle to see what his reaction is but I know everyone else will be like "come the fuck on ABC...."
Like I know that the black Israelites exist but the thought of one being in your family is wild to me.
he's the most soft-spoken/not physically threatening guy but you go on his Facebook & he's posting 24/7 shit like "HELL-oween is for the world…not for the saints." and "The Bible is being fulfilled 🇮🇱" (on October 14th
) but someone else already roasted him earlier at breakfast (by asking if he was gonna see his son today...) so I'll probably give him a pass unless he says something 
Is Israel genociding Palestinians in the Bible
A disturbing amount, yes. Both the Canaanites (another Semitic people native to the Transjordanian region) and the Philistines. To this day amongst Zionists there are cultural equivalencies made between Jericho and the Palestinians of the West Bank, for instance.
ive cut off the black isrealites in my family, they disgust me.
real. Thankfully it is just the one uncle and both my dad & my other uncle both are basically non-religious despite growing up with a pastor dad, so it doesn't really ever have a chance to bleed into anything - but yeah it was contentious when grandma died and he wanted to plan the funeral & everyone was like "absolutely not"
whenever he starts posting shit like "Straight Pride ✝️🇮🇱" in July though (literal post I just copied from his Facebook wall smh) I'm always like 'my man this is why no one likes you and you were fired from your nursing job & now work at walmart....'
What makes it funnier though is that literally no one else in our family or extended family has fallen for the black israelite ''knowledge'' - again, because my dad and us are all non-religious - he literally found this shit as a pretty hardcore Christian and did a whole conversion for a girl he then knocked up and had a child with but subsequently broke up with cause, his words, she wasn't 'feminine and submissive & didn't respect the Most High' like what bro....she is raising your child???
yeah one of mines has a BIRACIAL child that he doesn't speak to, leaching off his mom at 40, talking about how hes a king and one day he will have a castle in the holy land. OK. talking about how "they" are trying to destroy the black race by making everyone trans and biracial. yeah ok dude, the jews made you impregnate that white girl. you know on the plus side this "movement" will never have real power because the only people interested are the most pathetic losers you have ever met.
Is black israelitism common? I am genuinely curious because I thought it was a pretty fringe thing.
I mean - it definitely depends. Besides my uncle I've known a handful of Black Israelites who have varying degrees of belief but in my experience, it is usually a fringe belief in the sense that you have to be exposed to some facet of by someone/something. You're far less likely to just learn about it in school or at a bar. My uncle definitely discovered it through Facebook. It doesn't help that the local Christian church they go to is very pro-Israel either though. I'd imagine if you lived somewhere like NYC where you can find a group of Black Israelite preachers in public on the sidewalk, it may be a little easier to get into.
