If supporters of Hamas love them so much then go live in Gaza right now.

If they're not happy perhaps they should return home and help their so-called cause.

The media is so disappointed that there was no rage.

[commandoslayer]

Ask yourselves what would happen if some pro-Israeli was waving an Israeli flag in Lebanon, Qatar, Iran or some other theocratic Muslim majority country.

I had no idea all those people were in America 🇺🇸 I’m naïve

[Glenn_]

If they really want to sup😢their country then I think the best thing is to send them to their countries to protest.. Because what they doing in the states is of no relevance...

[khalmasonart]

Pretending to be united with the people in Israel and Palestine when you have already fled to the US… rich of these people to “stand in solidarity”

[charliecanlonge]

I strongly suggest that give punishment to all the participants in that rally specially they are NOT citizen in that please or natural born in US because they are forigner they are alien in that please. Or remove them from their work allow them to rally if they are in their country but if NOT then put them into jail because they are provokers they are igniting the tension their action couldn't help

[queenshantearion]

If they brutally murdered children, I doubt the hostages are still alive at this point

[RR-zqmk]

Not a single one of them will go voluntarily to help fight either. Hypocrite much?

When discussing the complex and sensitive situation involving Israel and Palestine, it's important to highlight the need for fair media coverage. Many people believe that the media should show a more critical perspective on the actions of the Israeli government toward innocent children and families in Palestine over the years. There are concerns that media outlets might not always provide a balanced view.

Additionally, there are questions raised about the legitimacy of Israel as a state, with some people asserting that it is an illegal entity. They argue that international allies should address these concerns. Some also question the actions of the United States in its involvement in countries with Muslim-majority populations like Afghanistan, Iraq, Syria, Libya, and Yemen, and the impact it has had on these nations. These are complex geopolitical issues that require thoughtful consideration and discussion

pull out your phone and record faces of these folks in public. Good to know who the people are supporting terror. Employers like to know. Wouldn't want to make a mistake and hire one of them.

[FameForFame]

Do people know that they can protest all they want. It wont solve nothing

[slogeswaran]

Whoever fight, media make their living using it. Great time to be media personality.

[Finkaisar]

Classic growds of people complaying and crying about things they heard for the first time, and doing no research on the issue

[erichvonmolder]

Where I live nothing like this is going on, maybe at a big university, but in my local area, no. I think the news is overstating this in real world America.

[thesilverblack]

I ugre everyone across the US and all over the world: Please do not attack Synagogues and Mosques in retaliation to your feelings on the Israel/Palestine conflict. The people running these places of worship have absolutely no control over the actions that happen between the two nations. And right now these places will be filled with grieving families members living abroad in absolute dread about the fate of their loved ones.

[AndyBeltran]

Let's hope that these emotions can be channeled into diplomatic efforts that lead to peace in the region.

[danielan]

Ot is quite interesting to see how much public opinion has shifted after that massacre. There was a rising movement against Israel and even internally against Netanhyu, this just shows how if you do something that most people will see as inhumane, you will pretty much lose a lot of support.

[shitinsideyou]

This is not about the land, Islam simply doesn't accept non Muslim or leave them in peace.
Most of these Muslims were cheering Sadam, ISIS, and now Erdogan when they are killing Kurds and Yazidis.
