The only ones willing to stand up. Real artists doing what artists should do. I've been listening to both these bands. I'd love to see a show in Canada.

Death to the IDF.

Edit: also to.let you know. Same day news...

I would highly recommend you look up what "Conscription" is, and the consequences of avoiding service.

I know what conscription is, but I also know what genocide is. Wehrmacht soldiers were conscripted; would you have discouraged violence against them too?

One can clearly see that violence is not benefiting Palestinians, Israelis, Iranians, Lebanese, Syrians, or any other people involved in this.

Tell that to Israel. When Israel is intent on using violence to murder and displace Palestinians, what do you want them to do?

I have stated my point of view very clearly. If you are confused about my point of view I invite you to ask good faith questions, or refresh yourself by reading what I said again.

You stated what you don't want people to do, but you haven't said anything about what Palestinians should do instead. Surely your answer isn't "nothing," is it?
