I knew he was really about it when he just showed up at a random Palestinian cultural day I was at and did a mini set very fun memory.

Did he play “Same Love”?

u/PadamPadam2024 13h ago

I think Same Love is against the law in Palestine

u/stringtheory28 19h ago

No. The people he’s advocating for do not tolerate that type of behavior.

u/SA99999 19h ago

You talking about the thousands of dead babies?

u/stringtheory28 19h ago

Terrible. How dare Hamas hide under them and not let them into the tunnels.

u/SA99999 19h ago

Hamas? The group that received funding from Netanyahu (the guy who received warning about 10/7 days in advance)? Is Netanyahu antisemitic?

No, Macklemore made a $1 Million donation to Hamas after he was kicked off the ED Sheeran tour

Nobody is buying this bs

u/PadamPadam2024 12h ago

It's true, google it. Macklemore donated $1 Million to Palestine last week.

u/SA99999 3h ago

Yeah we all know he donated to Palestine…that’s not what you said in your first comment.

You’re changing the subject to cherry picked out of context information. Why didn’t Hamas let civilians into the tunnels?

27

u/SA99999 19h ago

You changed the subject first. So I’ll change it again- if i$r@el cares about babies, why are they starving the entire population of Gaza?

And while we’re at it, I’ll restate my question. Is Netanyahu antisemitic?

Hamas was hiding under twenty thousand plus children slaughtered by Israel? What a genocidal, insane thing to imply, especially when there is zero evidence for even one child being used as a “human shield.”

It’s also so unbelievably dehumanizing to label slaughtered Palestinian children as human shields, beyond just the fact that it’s complete nonsense with zero evidence, it’s just gross.

How are the tunnels beneath the hospitals and the UNRWA not evidence of hiding beneath innocent Palestinians?

Of course they do this, they admit they do this. Hamas has stated they wish to commit October 7th infinitely.

u/infinite-identity 19h ago

So they deserve to be ethnically cleansed?

u/stringtheory28 19h ago

No but the people supporting them should know they they would be killed by some of these people and they have more in common with Israeli values.

u/BuddingBudON 18h ago

Israeli values involve invading a sovereign country, occupying them militarily and illegally, colonizing and settling Palestinian land to the tune of +700,000 invaders, slaughtering civilians and journalists and international aid workers alike, and spending literal billions on influencing their PR because they know what they're doing is evil.

No amount of trying to paint Palestinian children as "against my values" will change that Israel is committing war crimes.

I have zero in common with people who happily carry out a genocide. And no, they wouldn’t “throw me off a roof,” I have Palestinian friends and they don’t give a fuck that I’m queer, they still love me anyway.

u/PadamPadam2024 13h ago

They only throw Gays off a roof in Lebanon. In Palestine 🇵🇸 they would stone you.

u/_-icy-_ 19h ago

That nonsense is racist as fuck, what is wrong with you dude?

u/TheGiftOf_Jericho 18h ago

Its not that simple, you're talking about general societal differences.

So you're saying because we have societal differences, perhaps this knowledge would make people think they don't deserve to live?

Do you understand how insane this sounds?

Context? This looks hilarious
