    The linked article even fails to mention what exactly was “pro Palestinian” in the address - there’s zero quotes. Shitty journalism.

    Also, you can be “pro Palestinian” without being “anti Israel” - although a lot of shit-for-brains populists try to deny that these days.

      I remember we used to have anti-war rallies.

      I don’t recall them being painted as pro-Iraqi.

      Can’t we just go back to that, rather than being asked to pick sides in an issue where 99% of us have no skin in the game?

      Why is is always Israel vs Palestine that gets trotted out for us? I don’t remember being asked to picked sides in the Second Congo War, and that killed 5 million people over five years.

      It’s just divisive bullshit.
