I find this very concerning that people protesting a genocide and display flags of terrorist organisations is somehow a worse crime that the actual genocide itself.
It doesn’t make sense when we have musicians being held to a higher standard than countries and our own fucking government. Makes me want to fly a Hezbollah flag myself. I would argue flying the Union Jack is supporting terror around the world. The same as that Yankee flag.
Edit: Ive just got out of surgery with a GA so will reply to these once I feel human again.
I prefer the American version of freedom of speech, which places very strict limits on the government’s ability to punish speech. Display of any flag in this way would be protected. We’re currently seeing that play out with the US president taking various actions against people who have expressed opinions he doesn’t like and getting blocked by the courts at every turn.
That said, Hezbolah is bad and Liam O’Hanna is an asshole for supporting them.
I do too.
Are Hezbollah any worse than Israel? I believe we should label Israel a terrorist state. If we don’t do that then I see Hezbollah as a resistance group.
How can you fight oppression if you have to stick to the rules lest you be labelled a terrorist.
I don’t think Liam is an asshole and it’s deplorable that he is held to a higher standard than others. How many brits have gone to Gaza to help the IDF literally kill people, but this guy fly a flag an is charged. Fuck Israeli lobbying for the to happen.
