Hundreds of pro-Palestinian activists gathered in the main hall of Amsterdam Central Station at rush hour on Nov. 7 for a sit-in protest and called for a ceasefire in the besieged Gaza Strip.
I seriously have the impression that a huge amount of people can only see things in black and white
They seem to think if someone condemns Hamas they condemn Palestrina as a whole - or that if someone says the terrorism and taking hostages was bad they automatically support whatever Israel is doing since whatever it is it will be less cruel than what Hamas did.
Why does it seem so bewildering to do many people to see both sides as bad but also see that removing Hamas is a goal that’s worth fighting for as it’s the only road to peace for Palestine?
What are they protesting FOR - they are only against the current war (which is fine but very shortsighted) as far as I can tell.
They want them to stay under Hamas control? They don’t want a proposed united Palestine under control of the west bank government?
They want a Palestine “from the river to the sea” which means all Jews and Israel as a country is gone - but what happens if they won’t go peacefully? Would it be okay to attack civilians to drive them out of the country you claim is yours?
This whole thing is fucking complex - by picking a side like this it’s cutting too many corners and very shortsighted imho…
They have attacked pro palestinian supporters that say hamas are terrorist. So a lot of them seem to support terrorism.
