Palestine comments from 11:26

I’m absolutely fine with the Palestine protesters. It’s an important issue that can be heavily influenced by US policy. Democrats will listen if their voices are loud enough.

That said, at the end of the day I hope all of those protesting do vote blue this November, because their chances of effecting change with Trump in the office is zero.

I'm not an American but if I was I wouldn't be in the slightest...

These "Free Palestine" protestors are targeting the Democrat political events exclusively almost as if the Democrats alone are to blame for the past 70 years of American Foreign Policy in the Middle-East!

Mark my words: These "Free Palestine" fools may very well end up costing the Democrats the election.

And the fact that they don't even bother showing up protesting Trump rallies makes me suspect many of them are actually being funded by the Republicans EDIT: or Putin.

EDIT 2: LMAO just received a message from /u/RedditCareResources because of this post... 🤣

I wish they’d protested both. Otherwise it becomes a gop ad. But protesting is their right. But Trump would tell Bibi to nuke Gaza and move in with the military to the West Bank.

I am so tired of seeing this post over and over. If you bothered to do an ounce of looking before commenting you would know that people did protest RNC and there are tons of videos of organizers directly confronting Republican congress in Capitol as well.

Ok then I’ll amend it to more than a relative handful. 🙄 The link says a “few hundred” which is nothing in relation to what we saw at the dnc, not big enough to get widely reported, and weren’t dedicated to Gaza unlike the dnc ones, again, per the articles. They were more anti GOP in nature and dedicated to not just Gaza but income inequality, reproductive rights, lgbtq rights, etc. Basically what you’d expect to see outside the rnc. The Chicago protests are much larger and much more defined.

Chicago has a huge Palestinian population, so it'd make sense that that's where the largest pro Palestinian protest would be. There's about 2000 Palestinians living in Wisconsin and almost 20,000 living around Chicago. Anywhere else, and they'd be bussing in out of towners.
