Context matters. If you post something pro-Russian and against the Kremlin in 2020, some people might understand you. But if you do it a week after Bucha, don't expect any support.

Yeah because you're not allowed to distinguish between innocent civilians and the government they have no power to topple unless you time it juuuuust right 🙄

Fuck that. There's never a bad time for speaking up for innocent victims of violence and oppression while condemning the powerful people that kill and oppress them.

My point is: no matter what was the goal of protesters, these protests benefit Hamas. Therefore people participating in it are perceived as pro-Hamas.

They don't benefit Hamas, though. The goal of the protests is an end to immediate hostilities and in the long term a peaceful resolution to the overall conflict.

Both would be ruinous to Hamas and the Israeli war hawks while being beneficial to all of the innocent civilians.
