Those ppl are horrible vibes. " get out my face" as he litterally yelling in someones face. So dumb

[RaduBRM]

the last sentence is terrifying: "I lost my faith in peace"

[independent]

I am originally from Iraq and live in Seattle now, I ask all terrorists defenders to be shipped to Gaza.

[sweetliquidsnake]

Get on a plane and go there, dont come back

[West_Coast]

Please don't bring that ish to the US. Need sign up sheets for people who want to support Ukraine, Israel, or Palestine, and just ship them out to go fight.

[larryj]

Don't bring that violence into our communities! We have enough problems here without people fighting foreign wars on US soil. Get your protests out of your systems peacefully. Then go home and watch it on TV.

[Truth.Keeper]

I’m sure protesting here is really going to help their cause there.

[shaggysmoothie]

Palestinians tried non-violence. Maybe they did. But THEY VOTED in those who don't want non-violence.

[nicolaemarenschi]

update now your Ukraine flag from your apartment window, with Israel or Palestine, you can’t have both

[matts]

So sad .. they can't do it here ..
If they really care ..let them go fix and come back.
Why tear Kirkland?

[thereissomecoolstuff]

The nerve of a group that launched thousands of rockets on innocents, kidnapping, raping and using the hostages as a human shields. To have a rally this soon tells you what assholes the Free Palestine supporters truly are. I am not attached to either group but I would have fought against the Palestinian group at that rally. Antagonizing a group in mourning is a big mistake and shows you the level of hatred from this group.

[BilboSandbaggins]

I’ve seen this in a movie before. You don’t mess with the Zohan.

[deweybowser]

That does not look like America, if so where are the American people I walked the streets back in 1969

[j.frankparnell]

And here I was thinking I lived in America with Americans.

[myliobatiformidae]

imagine living there and having this outside your home. go volunteer, donate, whatever. these people don't actually care.

[redjetsen]

What the hell am I suppose to do about it? Why don't they go back and try to fix it...
OH NO once they come they never go home, like they really care about the homeland.

[swiftlyeditz]

All people should have the right to freedom it’s such a sad thing unfolding before our very eyes.

[ikhlebo]

Looks all this horrible faces. How is government allowed Palestinian go out and protest and defense terrorist?

[SamBrickell]

This is one of the downsides of immigration.

[xvaleriog]

We left our countries to live here in peace. If you care so much please go and support your respective causes there .
Not acceptable to bring that here. As a inmigrant I dont support this kind of behavior
