I don't see anyone holding up signs celebrating those hostages. Hostages who Israel also refused to take back. And it's funny how nobody is talking about thousands of Palestinians who have been taken and jailed by Israel on bullshit charges.

Nobody is celebrating the hostages. It's just an emotional abuse card people pull up when Israel's genocidal tactics get pointed out. And then we suddenly feel bad for hostages. Thousands of dispalced, kidnapped and killed people on Palestinian side don't get the same treatment.

Just before Israel's response, people were cheering for Hamas and the killing of hostages they took during the raids. That's not an opinion, by the way, it's a sad fact. Situation in Gaza is complicated.

Sure. Here are three articles covering this, from three random cities across the world.

You can find more examples on your own, or join one of the rallies and find out yourself what they're chanting.

Can you find me anything that's not Iran? or a clearly propaganda piece by a known Israeli stooge? no one in the US was cheering hamas and there's no evidence in any of your links that points to humans celebrating hamas.

Are you saying all three of these sources are biased and bought by the Israeli? I would believe you if you accused one source, but all three? Have you considered that perhaps it's you who is biased?
