Today in London at the pro-Palestinian, but definitely NOT pro-Hamas, rally today

24. It's only hardening Israel's resolve imo

If the entire world already hates you and believes the worst, before you even did one thing in Gaza after 10/7, it simply reinforces the “fuck it, they already think we’re shit so we’re doing it our way, global opinion be damned”. Israel has been maligned since its inception, nothing new.

And agreed 100% that the 10/7 terrorist attack, the dead Israelis, and hostages have been subsumed by the antisemitism now. Nobody gives a shit (if they ever did sadly). The anti-Israel protests/pro-Hamas celebrations started even as the slaughter, rapes, beheadings, burning people alive, kidnappings were still occurring. I watched in horror in real time that night. I was the first person on DU to mention the attack that night and stayed up watching all of the events unfold… 😢
