Hampton and the Black Panthers spoke a unity message that was Marxist-Leninist in nature and therefore threatening during the cold War

Eldridge Cleaver is visiting with North Koreans as well as the North Vietnamese in Algeria while thousands of American soldiers are dying fighting the North Vietnamese. J Edgar Hoover is concerned the Panthers represent a violent Communist movement on the home front.

The downfall of almost every black nationalist group in the US is the inevitable turn to violence. These groups look to the FLN in Algeria and others but forget that in those cases the revolutionary group is the at-large ethnic majority in their country. Cleaver was never going to overthrow the US govt. Sticking to Huey Newton's view of change from the street and social services/standard activism was a better structure

Black Panthers had strong Jewish support, right up until they came out in favor of Palestine.

The BPP was pro-Palestine from fairly early on in its history (around the time of Cleaver's exile) and yet the attorneys who got the Panther 21 off were Jewish and many who continued to support them into the early 70s were Jewish. You have to remember that many American liberal Jews are sympathetic with the cause of the Palestinians and that being Jewish != supporting Israel. You sound like a New Black Panther Party member who tries to blame the Jews for everything.
