Protest for Palestine: They throw you in jail

Protest for Israel: giant thumbs up meme

Anyone not seeing the colonial world order as fascist at this point is well beyond redemption.

It is good to show solidarity with Palestinians - it is not acceptable to cheer for Hamas on the other hand.

If you are able to differentiate between Hamas and the Palestinians and Israeli government and Israeli people your moral compass still somewhat works.

From the article:

The Commission found that Israeli Security Forces killed 183 of these protesters with live ammunition. Thirty-five of these fatalities were children, while three were clearly marked paramedics, and two were clearly marked journalists.

As we know, journalists from BBC and Reuters and Al Jazeera are clearly Hamas fronts.

You can support indigenous people without cheering on the raiders. /s

Anticolonialism isn't just a word. Read Wretched of the Earth by Fanon.

It is a shame how many children were killed. It was very irresponsible for Israel to prop up a fundamentalist group to sideline the PLO, and then for settler parents to bring their children right next to the world's largest open air concentration camp.

This is all one big exercise in independence.

I'm glad we're seeing people actually have independent thought instead of just rushing to say whatever will make them fit in with their tribe.

From the river to the sea, Palestine will be free
