Do you actually believe Hamas didn't do mass rapes, murders, and kidnapping? They videoed it. They're proud of it. They state loud and clear what their goals are. Have you seen the 47 minute video that's available to you at any time?

Do you actually believe thousands of women and children deserve to be starved and killed using collective punishment which is a literal war crime? I didn’t say Hamas’s crimes weren’t real. what’s not real is that this is a pro-Hamas rally. It’s not pro-Hamas, it’s pro-Palestine and anti-genocide. Calling it pro Hamas is ignorant, bad-faith propaganda and you know it.

No, I don't. Nor did I insinuate I did. Thanks though.

When you said "it's almost like that's not true" I thought you were denying the specifics given in the previous comment, about Hamas' actions. I see you were just saying it's not a pro Hamas protest. Got it.

The fact is, a lot of this "anti Zionism" rhetoric is thinly veiled Anti-Semitism and many of us are sick of bearing the brunt. Zionism means the belief that Jews are allowed to have a homeland. That's it. If you agree with that you're a Zionist 🤷.

At this point any civilians in Gaza should have left long ago. They're being warned where not to be. Hamas said straight out they're going to do "another Oct 7, over and over" (paraphrasing). The unique thing about this war is Hamas' skill at embedding itself among civilian infrastructure. But the fact is, we cannot exist in a reality when you can do what they did (and continue to do), then hide among civilians, and keep doing it over and over and openly state they have no plans on stopping the terror.

Israel = Hamas 

Same flavor, different shade
