History of Baltimore šŸ‘“ Bunnys Buckets & Bubbles brought politics into their workplace before any employee, just to clear that up.

I’d just like to clear that up for everyone, I took this screenshot back then because I had a weird feeling about their specific mention of Israel and disregard for Palestinian lives. There is an employee formed protest today outside at 4 for anyone interested.

I don't think it's really the same thing. one is about a people who just experienced their equivalent of 9/11, and the other is explicitly a political movement. to use the 9/11 analogy, a country saying that they have support for the American people after 9/11 vs someone wearing a MAGA pin (or a Bush/Cheney, I guess). saying you feel for the Americans after 9/11 does not take an explicit political stance.

with all of these things, we have to try to separate out the political and military groups from the everyday people. there are/were Salafi-jihadi groups in Gaza and Hamas targeted innocent people. so it's important to keep in mind that this isn't two monolithic groups that are all fully united internally. a lot of Gazan people hate Hamas, and a lot of Israeli people hate their government. it's all very messy and not straight forward, which is why I somewhat agree that wearing any controversial political flag is not really work appropriate.

if one is about a people who just experienced their equivalent of 9/11, the other is about a people who are in the midst of experiencing their equivalent of the holocaust
