I think it is absolutely grotesque and distasteful to hold pro rallies for Palestine and Hamas right now, but I would not stop them. They should be free to protest and speak.


Is anyone holding pro-Hamas rallies? I have only heard of Pro-Palestinian. The two are obviously not the same.

When the pro Palestinian rally is chanting gas the Jews, it might be pro hamas as well.


Protests are infiltrated all the time, so don’t be so cocksure with the cries of “pro hamas”.


I am not saying that every protestor there was pro hamas. There is video. It did happen and the group wasn't 3 people. I am providing recently information to the OP to directly answer their point.


Oh yeah they all just happen to cheer for Palestine right after the Hamas carnage! What a coincidence life is strange sometimes! ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯


I do not know if anyone is protesting the civilian deaths due to retaliation but that would be a worthwhile reason to hold a candlelight vigil or demonstrative march in support of the inevitable bystander victims and their families here.

If we were spiritually sound we would be holding mass gatherings in remembrance of all victims and in support of all innocent survivors. But that does not draw enough attention for us to have heard about one if it took place.


Yes, the demonstrators in the USA who cried "glory to the martyrs!" were pro-Hamas, at least in their own words.


If you hold them a few days after such an attack, that sounds like a lie.


Palestinians are facing bombings and imminent threats. Can you understand why their supporters would want to rally at this moment?


I would absolutely stop them.

Given they are chanting "Gas the Jews" and "Rape the Jews".

These are not protests - these are death marches.


That is a good point, and that is probably the one time I would say that they should not be allowed. Openly threatening people, even a broad group, with violence is absolutely wrong. I could see that being the case where I would say no, those protests need to stop.


By "They" you mean "Some".


>Given they are chanting "Gas the Jews" and "Rape the Jews".

When?



Sydney isn't in France. I was asking specifically about the demonstrations in France that France just banned

Sydney isn't in France (the subject of the submission).

Neither is London.

Also the second link is a video recorded 2 years ago.
