bro not only do they make false claims, they also say things don't make any sense.
It is also very easy to tell why they say everything is Hamas to excuse bombing all of the infrastructure.
They're killing people left and right and destroying all the infrastructure to make Gaza inhabitable, especially destroying hospitals which is the life source of society.
It's genocide. It's ethnic cleansing and forced expulsion. But, yet it's co signed by the Western powers and Arab states to go ahead with their profitable geopolitics. They've already succeeded in redrawing the borders in last few years and this is another step to it.

Nasty.
But something tells me he's not worried about losing his job.
It bothers me that the pro-palestinian side gets placated for the use of the "from the river to the sea" slogan, when pro-israel groups use a variation of it too. We all know what that implies. Like I said, there's not much honesty on either side.

I saw online that people are saying we should protest mcdonalds now. Maybe if they get rid of the 2 double cheeseburgers for $2 deal. But for now, nah.

Doesn’t make much sense to boycott locations not in israel but people wanna feel like they’re doing something.

“For McDonald’s, locations in Israel announced they were giving away free food to Israeli soldiers after Hamas militants launched their attack on Israel on Oct. 7. They are also facing calls for their franchise to be boycotted. ”

There was this rhetoric of "oh look at this pro-Israel rally. Nobody is afraid to show their face unlike the pro-Palestine rallies where they cover their faces because they don't want to publicly support terrorism." The reality is, if you support Israel in America regardless of what they say or do, it's not frowned upon. If you support Palestine publicly, you better hope your employer doesn't see it.

This country has trained people for decades that israel are the good guys and supporting them is the right choice. You def won’t get in trouble for supporting them, only backlash on social media.

Shocker showing support for a major ally is accepted and showing support for what is considered a terrorist organization isn’t.
It’s like people willfully just want to pretend realities don’t exist. Social media extremities really confuse people as to what is the norm…which is we support our ally and also want people to stop dying.
That said, people should support wtv they want. That’s democracy. What they shouldn’t expect though is that voicing your support has no consequences. Takes courage and sacrifice to make change and people want to have change happen without that necessary piece.

Except that the people that are rallying for a cease fire are asking for Israel to stop dropping bombs on civilians. Literally nobody is asking for a cease fire because they want Hamas to prosper

That's part of the problem. People keep conflating being Pro-Palestinian with being Pro-Hamas.

That's done intentionally. Forces people to keep their mouth shut in public discourse out of fear of being labeled terrorist sympathizers.

The whirlwind of information and misinformation shown on media and social media also doesn’t help. Especially trying to verify which is more reputable or biased.
My view is that the IDF is being way too aggressive and callous while Hamas are using fleeing innocent Palestinians for “cover”.

It's not the support that I have an issue with; it's the way in which the support is shown.
In Germany, they banned the slogan when said by Palestinians because they interpret it as ethnically cleansing Israelis; why not subject the phrase to the same interpretation when the pro-Israel crowd uses it?

Well, it is the Western and government narrative that dominates here in the West and they point fingers to anyone else than them being terrorists. As if being a state-sanctioned violent and terrorizing governments killing civilians with impunity is not terrorism.
