    IMO organizing or attending these marches so close to the anniversary of the massacre is itself pretty clearly pro-terror, in the way that people prominently associating themselves with the date of April 20 are also supporting a similar ideology without having to name it explicitly.

    It’s not like there are marches every weekend. They specifically chose this weekend.

      That is utter nonsense. Regardless of what Hamas did on October 7th, which I am guessing pretty much no one there thinks was a good thing, it was also the day Israel’s genocide started. Large numbers of innocent Palestinians, including a huge number of children, started being killed that day.

      And you know for a fact that it doesn’t matter when the protest happens in terms of this sort of negative coverage. Or did you think the media took a positive view of the campus protests a few months ago when it was definitely not October anything?

        No, no. There needs to be a clear 6.5 month buffer on both sides of the attack before any protest can happen. /s

          It’s like the “too soon to talk about guns” after every school shooting, but there are regular school shootings, so it’s always too soon.
