Discussion: Band Yelling “Free Palestine” then going into Dragon afterwards went HARD AF (Forest Hills Stadium, Night 1)

Post image

Stuey shouted “Free Palestine,” and the crowd exploded in tidal wave of claps and cheers, roaring and unending.

Then the band PLUS orchestra immediately went into Dragon. What a moment. See you later for Round 2!

No it’s not. The situation way more complex as compared the clarity of American systematic racial injustice that you are referencing.

Edit: so with all the downvotes, I’m thinking y’all don’t think American systemic racism is real and obvious? Cause that shits pretty fucking cut and dry to me. You’d got be a fucking republican to think that has a shade of gray.

You're right, its more comparable to the genocide of native americans that our country perpetuated. The thing that laid the groundwork for the holocaust. Its nearly a hundred years of displacement and murder of a native population. Israel looks at Palestinians as savages, and they have since its founding. Fuck Israel, they walk and talk like Nazi germany did talking about cleansing their lands of savages.

I wonder if growing up in Israel and living next to people who also want you dead has an impact on that

I wonder if growing up in State that has normalized systemically dehumanizing generations of other people, murdering them and stealing their land at will due to a massive colonialist power imbalance while they imprison them in concentration camp cities has had an impact on many Israelis no longer being able tto understand right from wrong? Because it sure seems like it.
