I was talking about what they’re calling me, dipshit. and if you’re not an anti-genocide protester, then thanks for waving your red flag this early in the conversation
every single time they talk about anti-genocide protesters, at the moment, they’re calling all of us “pro Palestinian”. just like how the Nazis called anybody who defended non-Aryans “jew lovers”, the same reason that slavers called abolitionists “n*gger lovers”. as if the only reason you could possibly feel empathy for that particular group of people is because… well I’m not sure exactly what they’re implying.
we are not “pro palestinian”. if the Palestinians were committing a similar genocide against Jewish folk, we would be just as upset in the other direction.
The protesters yelled slogans including “Free, free Palestine.”
If they had been chanting ‘Stop the Genocide!’, then I’d agree with you - it would have been an anti-genocide protest. But they weren’t; they were chanting pro-palestinian slogans, so calling it anything other than a ‘Pro Palestine’ demonstration would have been misrepresenting the situation.
I don’t know where you get the takeaway that they’re talking about you, or that you are in any way involved in what happened here, unless you were specifically there. This isn’t about you, or any other anti-genocide protest; this is about a very specific, pro-Palestine protest.
You suffer from “headline please make me angry” syndrome.
