70. In Chicago, The day after the massacre of innocent civilians on Oct 7,...

…there were massive waves of people in cars flying the Palestinian flag. They were clearly exuberant, joyous, and inspired. Grant park near the skate park at the south end of the park there was a huge graffiti sign “free Palestine.”

The obvious take is that pro Palestinian folks found the Oct 7 attacks to be inspirational. If that is inspirational, then you are pro Hamas by definition. Furthermore, anyone who is pro Hamas deserves the bombs that might land on their house.

If ordinary Palestinian civilians or the locals here in Chicago said, “we do feel Palestinians are unfairly treated by the Israelis, but the acts of Hamas were absolute Genghis Khan style barbarity that does not represent us and we abhor their actions” then I might call them pro Palestinian.
