The genocide is still ongoing and many things are still developing in Palestine, but we are removing the limitation on only posting things related to the operation Flood of Al-Aqsa to this thread, you can now freely post over Lemmygrad again.

Please don't stop talking about Palestine.


Due to popular demand, please keep all posts about the operation to this megathread, sitewide.

    It's hard, isn't it? I wasn't sure whether to hit 'Reply' on that one as I didn't want it to be read as 'don't openly support Palestine'. We've just got to be careful about it. Avoid letting our enemies trap us into publicly supporting 'terrorist groups', because that could get you arrested at a protest, for example. Not that our enemies won't impose a false equivalence on us, anyway.

    Keeping it slightly vague should be safe enough, I'd imagine. One of the good things about the performativity of liberalism is that it means some level of performativity is acceptable; and supporting Palestine is a part of that for many. Not for enough people, but for many. Lord knows there are enough crimes committed against Palestinians to protest all day every day about their treatment without needing to weigh up the actions of Hamas at a rally.
