Did anyone watch the video???
These people are chanting death to America because of America’s direct involvement in Israel’s genocide of Gaza. You know…America makes it possible for Israel to “protect itself” with American weapons by murdering starving people trying to get aid that Israel would otherwise deny them.
Who here would allow the hand that feeds you to murder your community with the other with no protest and no other feelings of deep injustice having been done to you?
The tragedy is that the concerns of these people are dismissed as their being conservative Muslims that want to destroy America. It lends itself to perpetuating the violence that justifies the fear and hatred many have of them.
But that’s not un-American. Far from it. Americans are all too eager to ignore the concerns of other Americans. After all, Trump is the product of Americans doing exactly. As he said, he is your retribution.
Here’s a different approach. Maybe America and Americans should try to be less of a raging, violent asshole both in foreign policy and domestically.

Are you honestly defending pricks who want to kill 330 million people? Let alone the fake victim complex, 330 million people?

This is a case in point.
I don’t defend their desire to kill anyone. I have never done that.
I defend their pain and suffering that you refuse to acknowledge. I get that they hate America for the role it’s played and is still playing in helping Israel transform Gaza into rubble and blood. They have every right to feel as they do.

Imagine if they hadn’t killed 1600 people. There wouldn’t be a war right now. If they’d stop shooting rockets at Israel, they’d live in peace.
Sounds like they need to stop bullying th israelis

I’m sure you believe that, but you’re as wrong as you are ignorant, willfully or otherwise, about Israeli peace with Palestinians. They don’t call it the world’s largest open-air prison for no reason.
