Have you seen all these protests around the world supporting Palestine? Even after these abhorrent attacks by Hamas on Israeli civilians. It's an important reminder that the movement for the liberation of Palestinians is very different than this violent terrorizing group called Hamas. The vast majority of Palestinians are not Hamas. They simply want freedom and dignity and autonomy. And yet their land has been sliced up, built on and is under constant control and surveillance by Israeli military
and citizens. When I was reporting in the West Bank, I saw that this is also a form of violence. It is a quieter and less flashy form of violence, it doesn’t make the same kind of news, but it is violence nonetheless. And yet it in no way justifies what Hamas has done in launching these attacks. These protests remind us that there is a bigger, more legitimate movement at play here one that should not be conflated with Hamas and their horrible actions in the last few days.

People forget "free Palestine" was a saying before October 7th

@rkaleel_1991

Free Palestine has been a thing for 75 years. Hamas didn't exist until the 80's.

@eagleturbo5475

He just mentioned the actions of Hamas since October 7th, israel killed 27k civilans, since the october 7th and way more civilians since 1948. The Palestinians have the right to resist and defend they're land. Israel has no right to steal the palestinian houses.

@ibie27

Palestinians have a right to defend their land.

@pbsquilz

crazy how pro-palestinian supporters have to condemn hamas about 50 times in one statement whilst stating their own views.

@Yarhaqo

Just to inform its NOT a WAR It IS a GENOCIDE

@sonichero745

Israel does not represent all Jews and Hamas does not represent all Palestinians. I want peace for both sides. Edit: imagine wanting peace being a hot take🤦‍♂️ What a world we live in man…

@miqbal8338

Palestime have the right to fight to fight back

@HalalUser_1602

HAMAS members are simply the poor kids who go orphaned, when they grew up they joined hamas to avenge their dead families and loved ones

@talalfarooq432

Palestinians have the right to resist and fight back against israel.

@jamilahbintemohd8151

The Palestinians have been suffering silently since 1948.They are strong people. May Allah bless them.Ameen2❤❤🤲🤲

@captainbeidou

Palestine has the absolute RIGHT to defend itself!!!

@adnanmelhem

My parents used to tell me to never bring up anything to do with israel near my grandfather (may he rest in peace), which when i grew up i learned why, my grandpa was a survivor of the qal-qilyah massacre, he had watched as the israeli soldiers lined up the men before gunning them down, which had included his best friend.

@aamairsohail8089

Free Palistine 🇯🇴🇮🇳 from India

@kumkum2468

If Hamas is terrorist, what would you call Israel? Angel?

@rabbitholedigger5179

Never again for anyone and free PALESTINE

@ThatOneRandomDude2

Ukraine: guys I've been invaded by the russian! NATO and UN: poor thing, we will give you everything you wanted! Palestine: I've been invaded and oppressed for a long time from the zionist Hamas: we will avenged you! NATO and UN: that's barbaric! How can you attack an innoncent nation?! What is this called? Your guess

@falcon_yt4798

When Ukrainian people fight you call them heroes and freedom fighters. But when Palestinians fight they become terrorist 😂 What a double standards

@distilers7368

Imagine some group from your own people, who fight for you and your own land, called terrorist by a person who dont even feel your pain.
