The organization's website says it was founded by Israelis. They carry Israeli flags. It is a pro-israel protest.
The reality of the situation is that those hostages do not fucking matter when Israel's response is to carpet bomb the most densely populated region of the world, starve them, and trap them from ever leaving.
It is incredibly tone deaf to protest for the Israeli hostages. I can guarantee you they do not care about Palestinian lives if this is what their focus is on and they don't mention Palestine.
I promise you it is 100% their genocidal actions I take issue with and not their religion.
The fact that the government perpetuating the war doesn't want the hostages released so as to preserve their justification for war.
That's an extremely weird question, lol.
If it was actually a rally in support of the hostages, then it would be an anti-Israel protest over that government's refusal to accept any deal to secure their release and the active perpetuation of military "rescue" operations that have killed said hostages.
By all accounts, this was a pro-Israel rally.
You presume a lot about who I am and what I think, lol~
It's not me saying that it was a pro-Israel protest. I wasn't there, don't know this group, and I'm reading the same reporting you are.
They were marching in support of Israel dude... Like.... Idk if you hear how braindead you sound. They were marching in support of Israel and to bring the hostages home. That's by definition an Israeli protest.
Not to accuse you of resembling your own sarcastic insult, but that isn't even me you're talking to right now.
No I didn't, I said "By all accounts", specifically referring to the other people whose claims I was referencing.
You are not having this conversation in good faith. You're taking a very closed-minded perspective to someone saying "killing thousands of children is bad" AND "not enough was even done to save the hostages." I've met people like you in real life, and I suspect the pain of admitting that you're even slightly in the wrong about a country you value must really hurt, but it does not make genocide apologia ok. I've accepted my own country sucks, so you can make peace with a place like Israel too.
Also, if "discussion" like this is what this comm tolerates, I sure as hell don't want to be a part of the conversations here.
