The flags of Hamas and Hezbollah were waved among the crowd of demonstrators during a march in New York City on Monday, reported the American right-wing media Freedom New TV (FNTV) and according to...
Prominent people in BLM made it clear that they didn’t condone the violence being done by a small group of people.
The Palestinian protests can’t denounce Hamas, a group that murdered over a thousand people in the most brutal ways imaginable. Which is far beyond some looting that occurred during the BLM protests. While prominent people in BLM denounced the looting, we hear basically nothing about people in Palestinian protests denouncing Hamas.
Do you really think that looting is the same thing as massacring villages? If so, you may have lost perspective.
You’re absolutely missing the point of my question. I know they’re not the same. I never said they were the same. What I said was the same was this tactic being used by the media. Highlight the worst of the bunch to discredit the movement. Because that’s what’s happening here. Did you side with the media then? Or did you decry this tactic then? Because you’re encouraging it now.
And as for your points here, you’re likening two disparate movements. An actual organization dealing with issues at home, and a loose group of different people from all walks of life coming together to say what we all see happening halfway across the world needs to stop. At my local demonstrations, there are always Hasidic Jewish people demonstrating alongside, speaking out against Israel’s actions. But you don’t say shit about that, you just pick out the worst example you can find and write off the entire demonstration. And, also, how do you know no one said ‘get the fuck out of here?’ You said they accomplished nothing because these two people were there. You really did write off the entire thing because of these two flags. Based on nothing but this article.
I think you’re missing the point. Looting isn’t comparable to massacring villages and even then, prominent voices in the BLM movement denounced the looting.
That isn’t happening with Palestinian protests.
Based on nothing but this article.
I’ve seen many images of people cosplaying as Hamas at protests. It’s fairly commonplace. This is not an isolated incident.

You’re somehow still not getting what I’m saying. Are you doing it on purpose? I mean, you have to be.
