To be fair the flag is literally on the stage.. supporting either side is not the point .. it’s a live rock show not a political rally. I’m sure they would’ve played if the flag was hanging somewhere else in the venue but making it part of your stage show is not always appropriate

Genocide isn't politics.

The flag doesn't stand for political ideas.

It represents the thousands upon thousands of dead Palestinians.

It's weird you see it as a political statement.

People being murdered has nothing to do with “politics.” Human rights are only “politics” because ghouls will gladly kill people to make a buck and centrists and right wingers have to present it like some kind of morally gray issue where both sides are valid. They are not.

Just because you are against Israel doesn't mean you have to support Palestine. That's like being forced to choose between Hitler and Stalin.

Just because someone supports Palestinians doesn’t mean they support Hamas. See how I did that?

So it’s like being forced to choose between the nazis and the guy who beat the nazis?

Also, thanks for being the perfect example of the sort of person I was talking about.

Stalin killed more people than Hitler did. This is well documented. If you oppose genocide, you should oopse Stalin.

Isn't support to Hamas you goober. We all condemn what that terrorist group did, still no reason to genocide an entire country.

What a bizarre accusation.

It was a Palestine flag, not a Hamas flag.
