      Shame on you for acting as if we can determine whether people are allowed to peacefully protest or not based on implied invocations of potential violence about an event that happened in another country.

      The reason you go out and peacefully protest in Paris on October 7th is to take the narrative away from people who want this to simplify down to a much simpler and more base application of violence and division.

      The reason you protest peacefully is to displace the smaller violent voices who attempt to exploit vacuums of public expression and discourse by trying to pass their ideologies of hate and violence off as representative of how people in general feel.

      The Genocide Of Palestinians must stop now for the simple fact that Genocide Is Bad. This isn’t something we can put off dealing with or make sure to only address through the "proper or “correct” civil processes that may or may not be functional. Mass protest expresses this general sentiment not as a specific reactionary ideology but as a result of people adhering to their individual principles and reaching the same conclusion together… I.E. what we most often call Common Sense.
