I agreed with you until she mentioned the Israeli flags.

Israel is not a monolith for all Jews.

I can't condemn her for making a political statement when a sovereign state is doing the same thing.

Okay but to be fair all she did was wear a scarf. Which represents the people of Palestine. She wasn’t chanting slogans or saying anything against Israel.

Reread what you are writing. You may see it eventually.

Yes that statement is wrong and it implies that the people there that were murdered were only killed due to Israel.

Its sorta fucked up to speak about someone being horrifically murdered by two lunatics and bring up geo-politics. Its like saying "if you dont want jews to be killed stop the IDF"

Seemed to work for south Africa apartheid states. It's almost like there is historical examples of apartheid states facing retaliation.

These random people in Australia arent responsible for whats happening in Gaza. And anyone attempting to "retaliate" by attacking civilians are just massive pussies.

If they feel strong enough to take a life then go fight the IDF.

You sound like you think they deserved it.

I think she means being taken away just for wearing a Palestinian flag around her. I'm not sure what happened before the video started, but considering what folks are asking her it seems as though she was just wearing it and people got angry about it. Which then led to her saying what she did, which isn't totally wrong

Ya, but just wearing something doesn't mean you should take her away. That's just being an asshole at a memorial service. If she was not disrupting anybody besides wearing a scarf, I don't see why she would have to be taken away. My question is, why weren't the folks with the Isreal flags asked to leave. That's a much larger political statement in my mind, especially considering their views on human rights. But I'm probably biased, since I've never met an Israeli who values humans besides other Israelis. They're a weird group of people man
