Bangor Maine “Free Palestine” Protest.

[Swada]

What struck me immediately was the visual contrast—many of the demonstrators, particularly the women, were dressed in ways that would likely be forbidden in Gaza or much of Palestine due to strict cultural and religious codes. Some wore revealing tops, tight-fitting clothes, even midriff-exposing outfits—all things that would be considered inappropriate or even dangerous in more conservative areas of the Middle East.
I believe in free speech, even when it’s uncomfortable, but it’s clear that some people only value it when it aligns with their viewpoint.

Perhaps the protestors don't identify the Palestians by their skin color nor religious beliefs.  They see the Palestians as human beings that are being starved to death by a ruling from Israel that no relief food is allowed to enter Palestine.

It’s almost like maybe they should have thought about the repercussions of their actions on the 7th before murdering 1.3k innocent people including women and children. The Palestinians elected them and have continued to support them and let’s not forget the Palestinian citizens harboring military combatants, hostages, ammo and weapon stashes.

So…taking all that into consideration I have little to no empathy for these people that would be dancing in the street if they could put a bullet in my head and drag me through the streets. Maybe I’d feel different if they didn’t want every person on the planet dead but themselves.

Life’s hard when you do stupid chit.

Palestinians are just people.

Some got so stoked and riled up over the doctrine they embrace, they can just
"turn off" the part where you recognize that your killing some random human
being in fury and righteous rage over words over "hate" you only know second hand.

They are in no way alone in that behavior.

But no matter the precept... it was a dumbass move.

Strategically... tactically, a devastating bitch slap that absolutely
had to incite total violence.  Did the Palestinians "win?"

It's hard to imagine voting for that.

It's interesting to note that the logic above, that they voted for Hamas and thus chose the fate of their civilians, is the same justification that Bin Laden used with the 9/11 attacks (by the "official story"):

(3) You may then dispute that all the above does not justify aggression against civilians, for crimes they did not commit and offenses in which they did not partake:

(a) This argument contradicts your continuous repetition that America is the land of freedom, and its leaders in this world. Therefore, the American people are the ones who choose their government by way of their own free will; a choice which stems from their agreement to its policies. Thus the American people have chosen, consented to, and affirmed their support for the Israeli oppression of the Palestinians, the occupation and usurpation of their land, and its continuous killing, torture, punishment and expulsion of the Palestinians. The American people have the ability and choice to refuse the policies of their Government and even to change it if they want.

By that logic, there are no "civilians". Strange, how "future proves past".

Nothing is black and white.  The vast majority of Palestians are not Hamas. Hamas only came into power because Israel saw Hamas as an asset.  I wouldn't even be surprized if the Hamas attack on Israel was known by Israel before it happened.  To allow Israel to exterminate the Palestians.  In effort to proects themselves!
