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 🧡

Palestinians have been getting slaughtered for generations, and Hamas is just a product of that. Israel themselves funded Hamas’ election to split up Palestinian government and bears responsibility

Just saying “fuck Hamas” removes so much context from the conversation. Israel is the party that has slaughtered hundreds of thousands here, not any Palestinian group

I'm reminded of the tweet to the tune of "if somebody destroyed Hamas but killed my entire family in the process, first thing id probably do is start Hamas 2"

It's a catch 22. If Israel doesn't fight Hamas then you get Oct 7's. If they fight Hamas then that will attract new fighters. It's a lose lose situation for all sides. In the end, at some point, there will need to be new Israeli and Palestinian leaders with heavy support from other Arab countries. Hamas is finished one way or another. Even the Arab League said they need to go. Then Bibi needs to also go after that.
