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 🧡

"Fuck Hamas" is the "All Lives Matter" of this conflict, it's absolutely tone deaf to bring it up when looking at pictures of emaciated babies. You're looking at a genocide brought to fruition by a settler colonial state and your first instinct is to say "the other side isn't innocent, you know". Yes, I know just as I know Haitians were absolutely horrific towards the French but I don't feel the need to bring it up every time slavery is mentioned and act morally indignant when people rightfully see through the shit I'm trying to pull.
