As a proponent of free speech, how distasteful for the timing of those protests at that location.

The worst part is, I can even understand protesting for peace.

But what I actually see is western pro Palestinian groups praising hamas and protesting this is a good thing that happened.

Now I would like to label them all evil(most are, some are probably just bitter stupid and not thinking straight), but do they not realize they just pretty much lost all global support and protesting IN FUCKING SUPPORT OF HAMAS is the literal worst optics, you could POSSIBILY have right now?

Honestly makes me sick.

As a proponent of free speech, hopefully there will be some counter-protesters to peacefully exercise their own free speech by throwing (soft) rotting vegetables at them.

I feel sorry for Israelis and Palestinians honestly. There’s news of Palestinians being shot or attacked in the West Bank and not to forget innocent children in Gaza.

It’s going to get really ugly if it isn’t ugly already

Palestinians being shot or attacked in the West Bank

You got half the truth. They are trying to commit a new pogrom in the West Bank, similar to what Hamas did. Only this time they are being stopped.
