Too bad a big chunk of the self-professed supporters don’t actually give a shit about Palestinian civilians at all, they’re just paying lip service because they want an excuse to hate on Jews.
Don’t like all “pro Palestinia” people do exactly that? If you support the civilians there you don’t run around with a flag that is used by the “government” they have, wich literally started this entire shitshow again and now use the civilians as meat shields…
The swastika predates the Nazis by several Hundreds of years…
And no, The IRA where never the government or part of it. Hamas was elected with 44% in a somewhat democratic election, before they took power (more than NSDAP, Hitlers party, had during democratic elections)
Yeah, and I would argue the Nazis don’t own the swastika. I’m not going to tell Buddhist and Hindu temples to take down their symbol because someone misappropriated it. Just like the IRA, Hamas has a militant wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, and a political wing that I’ll make a rough comparison to Sinn Fein which has absolutely been a part of Northern and the Republic of Ireland government.
Also, that election that ended up with Hamas in power was like 18 years ago which also happens to be the median age in Gaza. The majority of people in Gaza have never voted for Hamas.
The majority of people in nazi Germany didn’t vote for Hitler either, yet he was in power, yet the allies flattened the whole country, yet the swastika is banned in most countries.
There is no reason to wave a Palestinia flag at all. Just use signs Calling for restraint and help for the civilians.
As long as Palestinia is a thing, Hamas is as well, and their proclaimed goal is to kill all jews in Israel (or rather all citizens of Israel in general) wich makes the just as bad as the Nazi, although less capable.

No, the point in waving a Palestinian flag is to support the recognition of an independent Palestinian state. You can support that without supporting the terrorists that appropriated it.
Personally, I’d like to show up with both an Israeli and Palestinian flag, but I’m worried I’d just be jumped by the extremists on either side. I think a two-state solution must be the direction we go, not just “restraint and help for civilians.” Both Israel and Palestine must be independent, but getting there is an incredibly difficult thing that may not be possible without serious concessions from both sides, which isn’t likely to happen with the current leadership on both sides.

The Palestinian flag predates Hamas by decades. Would you condemn the Irish Tricolor just because the IRA happened to fly it as well?

The fact that both the flag and the movement for Palestinian statehood predate Hamas significantly is evidence your claim holds little water.
