Solidarity for what exactly. Their ability to murder thousands of palestinians…
Good to know some will be om the right side of history
Managing to have a demonstration with nobodies face covered in a balaclava, no terrorist flags flying and no chants for genocide. Refreshing.
Putting aside the argument about Israeli atrocities and Hamas’ original, savage attack for a moment, I think it’s worth noting that these demonstrations are important in a ‘freedom to protest’ and equality sense.
I don’t agree with Israel’s behaviour at all; much of what I have seen has been abhorrent. But we have allowed multiple pro-Palestinian protests. If we don’t allow Israeli/Jewish demonstrations as well, it would make us hypocrites and send a poor message to our Jewish citizens.
I think expressing approval for the IDF’s actions is crass, just as I thought expressing approval for the Hamas attack and desecrating memorials was crass, but I don’t have to agree with a protest’s sentiment to recognise its validity.
It’s very easy to spot the comments from people who don’t really care about the loss of life, have zero interest in resolving this conflict but do love to use posts like this to score snide points against the other ‘team’. They’re transparent.

Lovely to see. So respectful too.
