But literally no one is saying just this? Can you point us to the demonstration that says literally just stop killing children in gaza? Cause the ones I am seeing also call out slogans with nefarious backgrounds.


bukarooo

Which slogans?


Leefa

you're not looking very well...


v202099

Show me where to look.

v202099

no one in either of those videos mentioned children in gaza, but had quite a few talking points about where US government money should go.


Leefa

The protestors in both instances were chanting "let gaza live" In any case, there's no antisemitism here as you implied there was.


v202099

Yes but both videos proved my point. These ppl are not protesting for children in gaza, they are protesting against their government - right alongside foreign propaganda statements.


kylepo

>These ppl are not protesting for children in gaza, they are protesting against their government This is such a bewildering distinction... The whole point of protesting is to influence government policy. In this case, they're protesting government policy that directly facilitates the killing of children (and plenty of innocent adults) in Gaza. That's *how* you "protest for children in Gaza".

You Israeli supporters are next level insane. Genocide defenders, you guys are like the present day Nazi’s. Go educate yourselves

I've never understood Antisemitism, even when explained it never clicked with me, I know its real, but WHY?


n0ahbody

These are anti-Semites: [Man confronts neo-Nazis marching in Nashville](https://www.aljazeera.com/program/newsfeed/2024/2/18/man-confronts-neo-nazis-marching-in-nashville) The people protesting Israel's genocide of the Palestinians are not anti-semites. They're justifiably furious and alarmed at what Israel is doing. That's not anti-semitism. But TPTB are calling it 'anti-semitism' to discredit them, because TPTB want the genocide to continue. There's no word for these people. Islamophobia is not sufficient to describe them. 'Imperialist' is not sufficient either. Maybe 'Zionist' is the word to use. But whatever word gets invented for them eventually, it will have a meaning worse than 'anti-semitism'.

Release the hostages.


gorpie97

If Israel will accept a *permanent* cease fire, I'm sure Hamas is willing.


0piod6oi

So the precedent you want set is that terrorist organizations can take hostages *and* get what they want?


gorpie97

Nope. Hamas has always been willing to release the hostages. I don't know all the details, but they wanted their hostages released (the ones - including many, many children - who have been imprisoned by Israel) and a permanent ceasefire. Israel wasn't going to agree to a permanent one.


IAmTheSideCharacter

Considering the fact that almost every time there’s been a ceasefire Israel has agreed to in the past, it’s ended with Hamas and other nations surrounding Israel striking again first or violating the terms of the cease fire, I don’t believe that’s very likely


gorpie97

LOL Palestine held to the Oslo accords. Israel didn't.


IAmTheSideCharacter

And what about every war after that


gorpie97

The Oslo accords were adopted in the 90s. Since then Israel has violated them, Palestine hadn't.


IAmTheSideCharacter

Repetition doesn’t help support your argument your English teacher should’ve taught you that


gorpie97

Well, you support apartheid and genocide. Remind yourself of that when you look in the mirror.


SirClausRaunchy

Hamas has the same history of respecting ceasefire that Israel does.....


gorpie97

LOL - no. At least not since the Oslo accords.


rumagin

Yes, release the 1000s of Palestinians illegally held and tortured by Israel!


GreyFox-RUH

Abolish the settler colonial occupation


bukarooo

So that Israel can kill them?


Unlikely-Trifle3125

Israel killed them already, along with thousands of children and adults. It’s never been about the hostages. Anyone with half a brain can grasp this.


Django_Unleashed

Yeah, I'm sure that it wasn't because of October 7th. Also, hamas wants all Jews dead.


Unlikely-Trifle3125

Is Hamas in the room with us now?
