        I don’t think the intentions are the same… IRA symbols are probably banned however…

      It’s complicated, the Palestinian flag isn’t a terrorist symbol, the Hamas flag is. But hate crimes are based on intention and perception, so driving around a Jewish area waving it right after an attack launched from Gaza is clearly intended to cause distress. Same as sitting outside a Ukrainians house with a Russian flag at the moment.

        Supporting terrorist isn’t fun and hating on people that do that isn’t “edgy”

          The implied idea that being pro-Palestine = supporting terrorism is, though.

                About what? What’s standing there that is relevant here? Should i read about the holy Roman Empire? WW2? The Crusades? What’s your point?

                  About the history of Israel, which you’re obviously unaware of.

                    How Britain legitimately won the land from the Ottoman Empire, handed it to the Jews and the Arabs were attacking them within hours of the nation forming?
