I was not there, but a couple of subtleties about what you wrote that I'm sure you are aware of, but you glossed over, and are perhaps important on your narration:
- A condemnation of Israel is not necessarily pro-Hamas
- A palestinian scarf is not necessarily pro-Hamas
- A person with a rainbow flag is not necessarily gay
- A palestinian is not necessarily pro-Hamas, or pro-hanging gay people.
- galdosdi 3y ago> - A person with a rainbow flag is not necessarily gay This is true in a meaninglessly technical way I guess, but any average well travelled american adult woudld agree that if you see a student-aged protester at a city council meeting in Berkeley with a rainbow flag, there is a really high probability that their rainbow flag attire is meant to show support for LGBT causes. Context. Critical thinking. Use it.
- harperlee 3y agoI'm sure you understand the difference between what you cite ("gay") and what you infer from the flag ("meant to show support for LGBT causes"), so perhaps we even are of the same opinion :)
- galdosdi 3y agoI'm not the OP, so I didn't cite anything but their point seems to not be dependent on the difference in any way.
- harperlee 3y agoYou cited my comment here: > - A person with a rainbow flag is not necessarily gay In my previous comment, I only referred to text of the immediate parent comment (your first). Please be candid when interpreting what you read, it is a good practice!
- dragonwriter 3y ago- opposing genocide directed at a population is not an endorsement of any, much less all, policies of any government that claims to represent that people.
