French authorities have banned demonstrations in support of Gaza, arrested protesters, and moved to dissolve several Palestine advocacy groups.

Palestinians have legitimate reasons to protest but they keep getting mixed in with the “from the river to the sea crowd” remember if your protest allows nazis then it’s a nazi protest.

Hard to take them seriously when they act like they are entitled to land that the they lost via conquest after they stuck their nose up at every attempt of negotiation. I haven’t seen many Palestinians protesting the government of Gaza.

I don’t see a ton of human rights protesters in Israel either. Yeah some exist but by far most Israeli voters seem to support the “Palestinians are sub humans” rhetoric at the voting booth.

Somehow I don’t think that you’re arguing in good faith, but anyway… There were many pro Palestine protests in Tel Aviv University and up until recently the biggest protests Israel ever had were against the current government. It’s also probably not possible to organise anything when you have to run to a shelter every hour to hide from rockets.

Imagine how much of a bloodthirsty genocidal freak you have to be to casually claim that it’s a totally normal, valid, and morally neutral thing for a population to lose their homes “via conquest”, then compare the people protesting their own ongoing ethnic cleansing by settler colonists to nazis.

This dude would have volunteered to work the gas chambers.

There are currently nazis fighting in the Ukrainian army against Russia’s imperialist invasion. Would you call the Ukrainian army a nazi army? Maybe the situation calls for us to focus on the state currenlty commiting a genocide against Palestinian people and not on the optics of the protests.

What are you talking about? How are you going to prevent people from joining a protest on public land?

You must be one of those people who listens to soundbites as though they are gospel. The real world is a little bit more complicated than whatever you have going on in your head.

It’s fucking hilarious seeing communities like this who in the past have been so gung-ho about shit like punching Nazis standing next to the people who want to annihilate the Jews.

You guys don’t stand for justice, you just like punching people.

The ones that tried to expel and exterminate the Jewish people were white Europeans, you Holocaust denying ghoul. The ones you think “just like punching people” are being beaten and jailed by white Europeans while calling for a cease fire. The people we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with are Jews across the world calling for peace: Jews that you insist can’t exist while a single Palestinian child remains living.

Jews will continue to live in a free Palestine long after the European settler colonial ethnostate called “Israel” is destroyed, and they’ll continue to live in Europe despite Europe’s best efforts to get rid of them.

Jews across the world calling for peace

Jewish Voice for Peace

The fuck part of my statement did you see me saying the Holocaust isn’t real?

The people we’re standing shoulder to shoulder with are Jews across the world calling for peace

Yeah, no. Some of them are maybe but there is a very definite and real undercurrent of hatred and desire to exterminate the Jews.

I’ve seen three actual real full blown antisemites in the wild in my life. Full blown bullshit about how Jews control the world and do magic and all sorts of conspiracy crap. All of them doing it in the name of Islam.

Western Nazis totally exist as well. But the West actually keeps them in check.

Jews will continue to live in a free Palestine

And pigs will fly from my ass. Hamas literally founded their group on the principal of getting rid of the Jews and everyone with more than two brain cells sees the writing on the wall.

I hate hamas, but Israel is currently committing a genocide against Palestinian people in gaza. We should focus on the action of the so called “only democracy in the middle east”. Especially because western governments are supporting israel in its actions.

Do not fall for israeli propaganda. The bombing and murder of innocent civilians is a bad thing. Its bad when hamas does it and bad when israel does it, but hamas is a horrible terrorist group and israel is supposed to be a civilized country. We should expect better from such a powerful country as Israel.
