Funny that every news outlet calls it PRO palistinian and not that its against actions from israel, or anti israel.
That part annoys me so much.
At their core, these are anti-genocide protests. Sure, they’re wrapped up in other stuff - a lot of other stuff, but genocide is the core reason.
It’s easier for the news media to pretend that all these people just are here to support bunch of folks halfway across the world for some reason, than it is to say these folks are anti-Israel, because it begs the question of why people are anti-Israel.
I’d even go so far as to say that characterizing these protests as pro-Palestine is willfully missing the point, but calling them anti-Israel (or even anti-Jewish - ugh) accepts that not only is a genocide occurring but implies that opposing genocide means you oppose Israel.
