Any tips on keeping your cool when people wave around Israeli flags during a pro-Palestine protest? I started shaking with adrenaline as if it was right before a fight. D:

What do you exactly mean by standing with Palistine? I've heard this sentence in so many contexts and everyone differs in the understanding of Palestine and standing with it.

oh my god ok jesus fucking christ
It literally just means we don't support the way Israel has historically bullied Palestine and its people, and that we especially stand against the current razing of gaza. I don't really think that our announcement of "standing with" Palestine accomplishes much of substance; it's more of a symbolic gesture. Do you have any further questions?

Assuming you mean the Palestinian people and not Hamas, fuck yeah we do!

Hamas is no longer any sort of threat, and requiring written condemnation of their terror attack with every post about the current razing of Gaza indirectly reinforces the purported thesis behind Israel's continued wonton destruction which is that Hamas is a threat, and Hamas will attack the moment the bombs stop.

I've only recently started educating myself them, so this group may have some ugly things in their history I haven't learned about yet, but -

There was/is a nationalist social democratic Palestinian organization that Hamas essentially chased out of town with support from Israeli religious conservatives, and I feel like people who want a free Palestine need to talk more about them, because social democratic sounds a hell of a lot better than whatever the hell Hamas' policies are

The IDF wants Hamas to exist longer than the civilian population so they can "excuse" total genocide of Gaza

Netanyahu literally gave Hamas seed money because they don't want a viable two state solution.
