You have to ask yourself why he didn't simply wave a Palestinian flag? Why did he choose a proscribed terrorist flag? Did he not understand the difference (useful idiot syndrome) or he did and genuinely wanted to promote a terrorist group?
It's the same thing as at a previous concert shouting "Kill your local MP". 🤷
Because it gets attention on the issue? I don’t really know you’d have to ask him.
I don’t care that he did it, I care that people and government are more outraged over this than literal tens of thousands of dead innocents. And that we support genocide as a country.
Furthermore, I’m not sure I feel comfortable calling a resistence group terrorists if we don’t give the IDF the same label.
Are we going to arrest the Brits who went to fight for the IDF.
Waving a Palestinian flag might have the same attention without the connection with a proscribed terrorist group?
We can do both. The world isn't and shouldn't be a zero sum game. Both should outrage us.
We shouldn't support them. Sickening that so many countries do.
Many do.
Maybe we should.
