…blasted those who held up Hezbollah and Hamas flags, both considered terrorist organizations by the United States, as well as protesters who carried a banner saying, “Long live October 7th.”

…one protester said he wished Adolf Hitler “was still here” because “he would’ve wiped all you out.”

    Likewise with Palestinian and Hamas.

    People seem to struggle so hard with this but it’s so obvious I have to assume it’s willful ignorance.

      Willful for some, but I don’t think it is for others. And Israel itself doesn’t help because Netanyahu wants people to think this is a war to preserve the Jewish people. The number of Jews in the U.S. is about equal to the number of Jews in Israel. None of them are at threat from Hamas (who, as you said, are not all Palestinians by any means) right now. Not one.

      Sadly, both American Jews and American Muslims have to put up with this sort of shit on the regular for probably all of the history of Jews and Muslims being in North America.
