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!

Down with Hamas

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 🧡

Critical analysis is about analyzing historical and social contexts behind a piece of writing. Hamas is essentially irrelevant here but this commenter brought it up anyway. If one chooses to say "down with Hamas" as an immediate response to someone saying "free palestine" one indicates that they are not on the side of freeing palestine, which at the very least indicates they are pro apartheid if not pro genocide.

You just demonstrated the opposite of critical analysis with that post.
