Many people see the Israeli flag in the same light as confederate or Nazi flags. |
"Many people" are idiots. It's not the same, in spite of their foolish feelings and emotions. |
Hoping they also react to the injustice regarding women's rights and LGBTQ rights in these areas. I say this as someone who thinks there should be a ceasefire for humanitarian reasons and condemn the brutal assault on the innocent. But let's not get romantic about the Palestinian Authority and their retrograde beliefs toward women and the LGBTQ community. I also condemn similar retrograde attitudes among the extreme far right in Israel who luckily have not (yet) been able to implement their own bigoted restrictions country wide, except for the prohibition against women at the Wailing Wall. https://www.amnesty.org/en/location/middle-ea...-palestine-state-of/ |
Yeah, you're going to have to name the music festival. I wouldn't expect to see any flags at a music festival unless one of the performers was from a different country and the fans were expressing support for the performer that way. It sounds like you ran into that kind of situation. |
Almost no one views the Israeli flag in this light. Check the polls, specifically re: what % of the population is generally supportive of Israel. TLDR? You're making things up. |
NP. I haven't seen this. Can you post more information? |
So you're expecting that Israel will still be bombing Palestine next year? You do know there has been awareness about the plight of the Palestinians on college campuses prior to 10/7? This has awakened many people, adults included. If you want college kids waving US flags on memorial day, maybe put forth a candidate they can get excited about. |
FFS. It was reported in NPR, and you have totally misconstrued the adjustment. The UN lowered it because only 70% of the deaths have been accounted for in Gaza's Health Ministry database. The UN reports that the 35K+ is accurate and that 52% have been women and children. It doesn't include people who are trapped under rubble, or hastily buried by family members. It doesn't include the people dying of malnutrition or famine. It also doesn't include the wounded or the estimated 17,000 children who are orphaned or separated from their parents. If you can look at any picture of Palestine right now and not feel sorry for the children living there in rubble with extreme trauma, there's no hope for you. Read it right here, folks: https://www.npr.org/2024/05/15/1251265727/un-...or%20side%20streets. |
Speaking of misconstruing, the prior poster literally wrote "Children have still been killed, which is a brutal and awful tragedy". Almost as if you're not arguing in good faith. Shocking. |
She said it was shocking and not posted in mainstream media. I don't find the news shocking. They are inundated and the UN wants exact numbers. Isn't the shocking things that 35+ people have died, 52% of them women and children??? |
The struggle of the Palestinian people is the struggle of ordinary humans against tyrants in power that monopolize resources, crush basic human rights and unleash savage violence on their families and children. It resonates with people around the world because it is inherently human. |
Shocking that people have died in a war? No, not shocking. Obviously they shouldn't have started the war. And they shouldn't continue it. But they are doing both. They don't want peace. They aren't like you, who do want peace. |
I do!! |
Pictures? |
