This doesn’t look peaceful, here are some other news resources:
Both use language suggesting the protesters were “aggressive” and didn’t comply with police presence to contain the protest.
That said, details seems to be limited, so I hope we get more clarity and video footage to illuminate what exactly happened and who instigated.
NY Post is a right-wing wankrag. They’re as reliable a source as my ballsack, except my ballsack actually has a journalism degree. It’s just not very well connected and isn’t looking to work in the field any longer.
Sure, which is why I also posted an MSN link, which had a similar story and is generally considered more leftist. That said, the MSN article linked to the nypost article, so I’m not sure how much independent journalism happened.
My point here is that details are few and we should take a moment to get more evidence before jumping to any conclusions.
France and Germany banned protests for Palestine. Why would the NYC protestors bend down for the NYPD telling them they’re not allowed to protest against civilians killed by Israeli war crimes?
I don’t see what Germany or France has to do with anything.
In this country, we believe in free speech, but also being subject to the rule of law. I want evidence for which side broke that contract before jumping to conclusions.
Downvote for providing critical thought and checking the source? Lol this is a reflection of how biased this community is
Eh, I got the same from Reddit. The main difference is that I care less about downvotes here, though I’m not sure why.
The OP’s source is obviously left-biased, and I wish that would encourage people to look for more sources instead of just circle-jerking. But I guess that’s not the case here.
Shows that brutality isn’t just a middle east problem. Also - a peaceful protest in support of humanity would be understandably, but I certainly hope these protestors were protesting in support of ending war on both sides - and NOT supporting the barbaric horrible perversity of what Hamas did to Israel - that is indefensible and unsupportable by any means.
The war has been going on long before Hamas attacked; ending the war means ending the occupation.
From the river to the sea.
Fuck off with the both sides nonsense. Only one side has the power to end the violence and it isn’t the Palestinians.
You think that if Israel stopped their colonizing the conflict would be over?
Hell, Gaza is, apparently, the most radical area and Israel officially dismantled the settlements there a decade ago.
The Houthis literally call for the destruction of Israel and death of all Jews in their motto, and they’re not even neighbors. There’s a whole two countries between Israel and Yemen.
Imagine what the people in Palestine feel.
This shit won’t be over. Humans are very, very bad at forgetting past wrongs, especially when religion is involved, and our worst always see peacemakers as weak, not brave.
But don’t worry, soon enough the resource wars will start in earnest and the question will get settled one way or another.
Its less about stopping colonization and the only option to end the conflict is Israel leaving the area entirely. If Palestine is eliminated, they are surrounded by countries that dont want Israel there. Israel has no incentive to end conflict as they receive continuous funding as long as there is an opponent. The only way the conflict will ever be resolved is with them leaving.
