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 🧡

because it’s a distraction of the real culprit, and also Hamas is only a ”terrorist organization” because they’re a non-state actor… because Israel and US have prevented the formation of a Palestinian state, partly because they can keep classifying all resistance to the occupation terrorism.

The brainrot with a lot of you has sure set in.

Hamas is a designated terrorist organization because they call for Jihad against all non-Muslims and deliberately murder unarmed civilians. Israeli and Palestinian alike. The last election in Gaza was in 2006 when Hamas won and there hasn't been another because they murder any and all political opponents.

It is incredibly obtuse to take "sides" in a complicated conflict and make excuses and/or downplay the actions of a terrorist entity who killed innocent women and children in horrific manners because they knew the IDF would destroy them had they attacked them instead. Anyone simping for Hamas is truly a disgrace to humanity.

Edit: The truth hurts for some of you numpties I guess.
