Really? You love militants who would probably rather kill you than have a coffee with you?
I mean, they are picking militants who are opposing genocide. Choosing ‘would rather kill you’ over ‘are killing you’ is logical in a limited context.
This new age is very strange. Folks railing against liberal-democratic structures and institutions while praising autocrats and theocratic-fascist terror groups.
I suspect a lot of people are unhappy and are looking for solutions. They aren’t evaluating their solutions, just latching onto the first things that make them feel like change is possible.
I think people are looking outside their persona atomization and realizing the world is much worse than the hegemonic narrative would have us believe. As more information becomes available, old ideology declines. The smug comfort of white bros is disturbed when their moral authority is questioned. If they can’t make lazy jokes about having coffee in a genocide, is anything safe anymore?
What the hell are you even talking about? Where do you people get the idea that Hezbollah and every other Islamist entity is like ISIS? Do you know a single thing about Lebanon???
Zionism is a supremacist ideology. They’re not interested in having coffee with me.
Other sources state that a number of people were arrested for supporting proscribed terror groups, presumably including these people supporting Hezbollah, those wearing parachutes in homage to Hamas, and possibly including those praising the Houthis.
I suppose marching alongside such people is a nice way for some folks of a particular character to mark a year since Hamas’s massacre — as well as those others detailed in this article participating in holocaust inversion, assaulting emergency workers, and threatening counter-protestors with being finished off by ‘freedom fighters’.
“Holocaust-inversion” is one of those phrases that just immediately marks you as a hasbarist.
“Allah is above them”
Maybe, but the flying spaghetti monster is even higher!
Gonna say it, this REALLY feels like a case of the news cherry-picking what parts of a protest they show. Between the unreasonable viewpoint that’s directly adjacent to a very sensible and popular viewpoint and the fact we KNOW the media have a very vested interest in trying to push pro-genocide narratives (such as anti-Israel protests being pro-terrorist)…
Yeah, even someone as gullible as me? I’m not buying this.
This is the telegraph.
Imagine Boris Johnson dressed in tweed and living in a cottage in Devon
That’s their reader base
UK news sources are very prone to behaving like that, if you ever spent time in r/GreenAndPleasant it’s shocking how much UK news you dont hear about. Anything vaguely anti-crown just doesn’t get coverage. Or protests in general.
It’s part of why they’re media bias bot is laughable given it considers BBC unbiased

Do you remember the “Sir you are being hunted” indie game? That is what i imagine the bot to look like, wearing tweed and living in his evil robot cottage.
