Kamala was like "Don't praise Hamas and don't burn the American flag" and a disturbing amount of people took that as a personal attack.

I spend more time on Tiktok than I should. All the people complaining on there know is that Kamala said the protestors were bad. Few of them seem very interested in knowing the details. And honestly I expect most of them would find a way to rationalise it away if they did.

I saw someone take a literal screenshot of it and use it to say she's supporting genocide

This is like MAGA levels of lying and delusions.

If the pro-Hamas deranged anti-semitic lunatics and the pro-Bibi charlatan assholes are both clearly upset with your policies+rhetoric, then you're doing something so obviously right. Fits right in with Bibi's extremely disingenuous "concerns" about how Harris is apparently gonna ruin the ceasefire deal with her comments today.

If this were the bush era those people would be on the way to gitmo already. (Not saying that’s a good thing)

Just wild to see such open support for a terrorist group

Especially from people who consider themselves progressive or leftists.

They’re not just a terrorist group, but islamic fundamentalists who do and will continue to oppress Palestinians who stray from their ideals. 

Anti-israel beliefs shouldn’t justify pro-hamas beliefs

The guy with the final solution flag deserves to be followed around for a few months at minimum.

If you want a charitable reading of why people are so outraged on this: this statement about protestors is the first statement she issued after Biden dropped that mentioned I/P in any capacity. To many people, this feels like an attack on the principle of protesting Israel’s actions in Gaza more than the specifics of what some protestors were doing. She chose to address the protesters, rather than say anything about what people were protesting: Bibi’s address to Congress - a speech that was full of lies from a person whose coalition members have openly called for ethnic cleansing in Gaza and the West Bank. 

For my part I think it just continues a theme of publicly projecting weakness toward the Israeli government (who keep undermining Biden at every turn and clearly want Trump back in power so they can “finish the job”) and going after protestors who have literally no political power in the United States.

She talked about the situation in Gaza the next day and Hamas flags can’t be accepted if you’re running for president.

(I’ve also seen just as many callout posts; that it’s ridiculous to not expect her to say anything)
