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.
- voisin 3y agoIs anyone holding pro-Hamas rallies? I have only heard of Pro-Palestinian. The two are obviously not the same.

- pixxel 3y agoProtests are infiltrated all the time, so don’t be so cocksure with the cries of “pro hamas”.
- nickthegreek 3y agoI 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.
- eli_gottlieb 3y agoYes, the demonstrators in the USA who cried "glory to the martyrs!" were pro-Hamas, at least in their own words.
- g-b-r 3y agoOh yeah they all just happen to cheer for Palestine right after the Hamas carnage! What a coincidence life is strange sometimes! ¯ \ _ ( ツ ) _ / ¯
- whatshisface 3y agoI 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.
- raxxorraxor 3y agoIf you hold them a few days after such an attack, that sounds like a lie.
- snird 3y agoI would absolutely stop them. Given they are chanting "Gas the Jews" and "Rape the Jews". These are not protests - these are death marches.
- wtfwhateven 3y ago>Given they are chanting "Gas the Jews" and "Rape the Jews". When?

- wtfwhateven 3y agoSydney isn't in France (the subject of the submission). Neither is London. Also the second link is a video recorded 2 years ago.

- wtfwhateven 3y agoSydney isn't in France. I was asking specifically about the demonstrations in France that France just banned
- Simulacra 3y agoThat 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.

- matthewfelgate 3y agoPalestinians are facing bombings and imminent threats. Can you understand why their supporters would want to rally at this moment?
