In reply to the discussion: Are the so-called Palestinian protestors supporting Palestinians or are they just supporting the convicted felon? [View all]thucythucy
(9,103 posts)I don't recall too many folks around me openly supporting Saddam Hussein or praising his regime. I also don't recall protesters back then carrying banners with Saddam's face. We recognized that his was a repressive, murderous dictatorship.
We also were clear that the "weapons of mass destruction" excuse was BS, that Iraq had nothing to do with 9-11, and that our government was wrong is launching that invasion.
So I would say there was a hell of a lot more than "one iota" of difference between the demonstrations I attended and the death cult cos-players featured in the posts above.
One can decry the actions of our government without expressing support for a violently antiSemitic, homophobic, misogynistic band of thugs and rapists.
You disagree?
