    What would you do if you were the Palestinian in this question.

    We are talking about a rally in London. All I expect is to see a few signs calling for the end of Hamas, an end to violence or something along the lines. All I see is “Free Palestine” signs, which is nothing more than an antisemitic dog whistle.

      How is that a dog whistle? Is Palestine not in need of being freed? Israel has been holding people in Gaza down for decades and treating them like they are sub-human. Calling out that behaviour as monstrous is not a “dog whistle”, it’s directly saying out loud what the problem is.
