(it’s the old flag of Iran from the times of the Shah, very popular among “dissidents” lol)

    The banner says ‘never again is now’. This is such fucking bullshit - never again referred to Dachau concentration camp and G*rman fascism, which is on the rise btw. Don’t see these people protest anti immigration laws, increased deportations, or fascist cops.

      “Never again is now”, I say, referring of course to an oppressed people’s attempts at removing their oppressors, which is basically the same as genocide.

        The October 7 assailants did kill about 1,000 Jewish civilians. The buffoons depicted just can’t fathom that they weren’t killed for their ethnicity, it wasn’t at a fascist regime’s orders, and it wasn’t at an industrial scale. To them it’s Jews killed = Holocaust.

          It is possible to recognise that the Al-Aqsa-Flood was an act of terrorism and also that terrorism is a means available to an oppressed people to fight its oppressors. These means can (and should) be viewed critically, but comparing this act of terrorism to the holocaust is obviously ridiculous.
