The magazine also said in its mail that while the organisation encourages free expression and constructive political debate, it has a zero tolerance policy towards hate speech.
You're viewing a single thread.
Some people have zero sense of context, it's laughable lol
Shouting "I support Gaza !!" on every roof RIGHT NOW, has exactly the opposite effect
I too support civilians living their lives peacefully, but we are talking about terrorists here
Israel has been killing civilians for years and have racked up a far higher body count. Are they living their lives peacefully?

Hamas has done awful things, but that doesn't mean Israel is good.
Before this happened, violenc between settlers in the Westbank and native Palestinians had tripled compared to 2022, to 3 per day, while the world news cycles were preoccupied with Ukraine.
Are you talking about settlers that have for decades stolen the Palestinians ancestral homes? Kicked them out of the house they were born in without any compensation. If that happened to me in my home I would too go radical cause at that point diplomacy has failed.
Ironic that you would talk about zero sense of context when siding with the people ignoring crucial context.
Mia Khalifa was NOT talking about terrorists. She was talking about the oppressed people of Palestine who film the atrocities of the Israeli apartheid government. She didn’t mention Hamas and since they're not usually the ones filming THEIR atrocities, it's clear that she wasn't referring to them either. Especially when you add her own clarification to the equation:
I just want to make it clear that this statement in no way shape or form is [inciting] spread of violence," she said. "I specifically said freedom fighters because that's what the Palestinian citizens are... fighting for freedom every day."
It was still a bad post, at least based on how it reads to the average unknowing person.
Yeah, it was worded imprecisely enough to make misinterpretation possible, which is always a bad move when discussing contentious issues no matter your intention.
Definitely wasn't bad enough that she deserved being immediately fired, cancelled and defamed as a terrorism sympathiser, though.
Yeah I'll agree with that. It was exceptionally poor wording and it comes down to the benefit of the doubt if you believe she worded it poorly vs ... yeah. But the deserves the benefit of the doubt.
She could have just started with "My heart goes to Israeli victims" or stuff like that, before tagging "Free Palestine" at the end. That would fly without a hurdle.
So she's not allowed to express solidarity with the Palestinian victims of Israeli oppression without also mentioning the Israeli victims of Hamas terrorism?
Are people not allowed to express solidarity with Israeli victims without also mentioning Palestinian victims either?
Did I ever mentionned "not allowed"? I said mentionning killer's family on a victim's funeral is A LITTLE un-diplomatic sir
Except that's not in any way close to analogous to the situation.
well, that's totally how many people see it. That's a fact.
It might be a fact that many people see it that way, but that would just mean that many people are wrong. Many people believe all sorts of ridiculous lies and distortions of reality.
¯_(ツ)_/¯ You don't provide compelling arguments neither, you just say "You are wrong, I am right"
I only point out that it was pretty bold tweet given the circumstances
Except in this instance the killer's family is tied up in the corner of the funeral home actively being murdered by the victim's uncle
It was a very poor choice of wording to say freedom fighters to refer to civilians. It was just as poor to mention videos without any information whatsoever on the contents of the videos. Perhaps this is one giant misunderstanding.
Either way, a statement referring to a video from freedom fighters in the region right now without any context immediately brings to mind the carnage from the terrorist attack.
you sound like a post 9/11 LET'S GET THEM TERRISTS boomer conservative
lol I have no skin in the game, being atheist and not jew, and not from US neither
If you believe that announcing "I support Palestine!!" right after Hamas fuckers killed a thousand of civilians would be a great idea, you are delusional
If you believe that announcing "I support Israel!!" while Israel is bombing thousands of civilians would be a great idea, you are delusional
do they hate you for your freedom?
I have no idea what you are referring to. nobody hates me as far as I know!
