    Do they have tiki torches? Are they talking about replacing Arabs?

    Because holy shit do these people not have any sense of self awareness.

      People outside the US do not care about that. This is probably in response to Iranians chanting “Death to Israel”. The Middle East has a problem with chanting “death to” things. It’s pretty messed up over there.

          The Iranians support Palestinians with weapons (not food though). Hamas is a proxy of Iran, and I believe the same religion. There are very few Persians in Palestine. It would make no sense to chant directly against Iran.

          As with everything in the Middle East, it’s complicated.

            Hamas is Sunni, Iran is Shiite. They’re aligned out of convenience more than religion. The Middle East isn’t actually that complicated, the idea that it is so complicated is peddled to scare people from actually understanding the region and forming their own conclusions, usually out of fear that the listener might not find a genocidal European colony to be “the good guys”.

              Ah, then it makes sense that Iran provides no real support to the Palestinians. They’re a different religion, so the Iranian regime only has an interest in using them against Israel.

                I mean there’s probably other reasons Iran can’t really help the Palestinians. More practical reasons having to do with logistics, economy, cost, geopolitics, potential consequences/sanctions, etc.

        You’d have a point except this march takes place every year and every year there’s an outbreak of violence around the temple mount. Also there are Israeli Arabs (born and raised in Israel ) who funnily enough are Israeli citizens and have fuck all to do with Iran.

          Yeah because Arabs have never chanted “death to Israel” or Hamas had the first charter of their government as the destruction of Israel…

          Wtf does Arabs living in Israel have to do with anything? Also there are very few Arabs with citizenship, almost all are 2nd class with limited to no to rights.

          Note: being critical of the Arabs in no way excuses Israel’s current and ongoing Genocide of Palestinians…

    What a wild timeline to go from being victims of nazi germany to this. Absolute concavity brain behavior.

    I’m so glad Israel is taking criticisms of genocide seriously…by enabling them for all to see.
