    Other sources state that a number of people were arrested for supporting proscribed terror groups, presumably including these people supporting Hezbollah, those wearing parachutes in homage to Hamas, and possibly including those praising the Houthis.

    I suppose marching alongside such people is a nice way for some folks of a particular character to mark a year since Hamas’s massacre — as well as those others detailed in this article participating in holocaust inversion, assaulting emergency workers, and threatening counter-protestors with being finished off by ‘freedom fighters’.

      Weird how I’m not seeing all the pro-terrorist signs in the photo of the crowd at the top of that image.

      I wonder if maybe the Telegraph, run by one of the conservative, ultra-rich Barclay brothers, might have some sort of agenda here?

        IMO organizing or attending these marches so close to the anniversary of the massacre is itself pretty clearly pro-terror, in the way that people prominently associating themselves with the date of April 20 are also supporting a similar ideology without having to name it explicitly.

        It’s not like there are marches every weekend. They specifically chose this weekend.

          pretty clearly pro-terror

          That is utter nonsense. Regardless of what Hamas did on October 7th, which I am guessing pretty much no one there thinks was a good thing, it was also the day Israel’s genocide started. Large numbers of innocent Palestinians, including a huge number of children, started being killed that day.

          And you know for a fact that it doesn’t matter when the protest happens in terms of this sort of negative coverage. Or did you think the media took a positive view of the campus protests a few months ago when it was definitely not October anything?

            No, no. There needs to be a clear 6.5 month buffer on both sides of the attack before any protest can happen. /s

              It’s like the “too soon to talk about guns” after every school shooting, but there are regular school shootings, so it’s always too soon.

      “Holocaust-inversion” is one of those phrases that just immediately marks you as a hasbarist.
