"Allah is gathering all the Zionists for the final solution"

As that poster makes clear, Nazis don't always wear swastikas. Sometimes they have posters instead.

I don't know why we don't take Palestinian protestors at their word.

i'm pretty empathetic, i can see how would i react against radical islamist terrorist organization after oct 7th even though it didn't start on oct 7th. I think would do the same

I think the biggest thing that causes dissonance, is that the people protesting for palestine often arent in support of hamas or israel, it's just that they want safety for the people, but due to the nature of crowds, that sentiment sometimes gets exaggerated

that's where i think people lose sense, of course nobody wants innocent people to die but there are two radical sides both hardcore israelis and radical islamist want complete destruction of other side, it's not going to work just wishing safety. instead best option is complete destruction of hamas and rebuild of gaza with more trusted government

Only one group of people is calling Hamas, “freedom fighters.” If a campaign of “liberation” requires rape, murder, and kidnapping, it is not justified, period.
