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.
Characterizing these as either pro-Palestine or anti-Israel (or even anti-Jewish - ugh) is either willfully missing the point of the protest, or just accepts that not only is a genocide occurring but posits that a challenge to genocide is a challenge to Israel.
