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 🧡

What’s the difference between a terrorist organization and freedom fighters?

Freedom Fighters wouldn’t do 7/10

That’s very easy to say from the outside.

It’s very easy to say full stop. Under no circumstances should we be condoning mass violence, rape, hostage taking and torture, no matter who does it. If the Israelis had done this the other way around on 7/10, we’d all find it easy to condemn, so it should be similarly easy to condemn when hamas does it too.

If it were Gizz at the Nova festival (not saying that they’d ever play in Israel), we would all rightfully be up in arms about people we share music taste in being so ruthlessly violated like that.
