    Yeah because you’re not allowed to distinguish between innocent civilians and the government they have no power to topple unless you time it juuuuust right 🙄

    Fuck that. There’s never a bad time for speaking up for innocent victims of violence and oppression while condemning the powerful people that kill and oppress them.

      My point is: no matter what was the goal of protesters, these protests benefit Hamas. Therefore people participating in it are perceived as pro-Hamas.

        They don’t benefit Hamas, though. The goal of the protests is an end to immediate hostilities and in the long term a peaceful resolution to the overall conflict.

        Both would be ruinous to Hamas and the Israeli war hawks while being beneficial to all of the innocent civilians.
