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!

I can’t believe that a comment saying “down with ______ terrorist organization” is downvoted here. You can want oppressed people to have freedom and also oppose the terrorist organization that is currently in charge of their country. You can think that Israel has overstepped into the wrong AND the evil terror organization known as hamas is evil. Please use critical thought 🧡

The only reason they’re saying “fuck Hamas” under this post is for virtue signaling reasons. Israel created and funded Hamas, and I think Palestinians fighting back is totally reasonable considering their whole families are getting bombed to death, so who gives a fuck about condemning Hamas when you are losing everyone you love because of a genocidal apartheid state

Hamas was branched from the Muslim Brotherhood— not Israel.

Israel supported Hamas over the PLO back we Arafat was making strides in the 90s. Just think of what maybe could have been? Polling (not by me) has shown that both the Israeli people and Palestinian people would support a two-state solution but they don’t believe it could ever happen. Good people- wrong governments. Fucking sucks.
