When the Ukraine war kicked off there were Ukraine flags all over the place. All the lib houses with the “we believe in signs” had it up. Now I’m not surprised they aren’t flying Palestinian flags right now, but I haven’t seen a single one and I’m in “blue hole” part of the country. I would expect to see something more than the occasional pin or button. It pisses me off that people still have out their sunbleached Ukraine flags while there is a blantant genocide going on. Truly it reveals the liberal libidinal urge for permission.

Is there a better place to buy a Palestinian flag than amazon?

EDIT: I dont expect the same houses flying Ukrainian flags to fly Palestinian flags. I just expect some homes in my city to be flying a Palestinian flag. Its such a blue hole that theres actually a socialist presence. I know there’s people who support Palestine here. I’m not worried about a Zionist lynch mob.

    Yeah but they’re targeting people who matter like journalists, professors, journalists, altheletes, etc.

    You must keep an appropriate threat model if you’re gonna get paranoid about surveillance. Reactionary neighbors, local police, landlords; these are people who might take your politics personally. But to billionaires and such you’re just a statistic.

      I’m sorry that’s not the case.

      As the Israel-Hamas war began to heat up in late October, Courtney Carey, a Dublin-based employee of the Israeli website building company Wix, posted the Irish words “SAOIRSE DON PHALAISTIN” – “Freedom for Palestine” – on her LinkedIn page.

      Within 24 hours of Carey’s LinkedIn post appearing, Alon Ozer, a Miami-based investor, took a screenshot of the post and shared it with a WhatsApp group of more than 300 like-minded investors, tech executives, activists, and at least one senior Israeli government official. Ozer took care to note that Carey worked for Wix.

        Your example is someone posted free palestine on their LinkedIn page while working for an Israeli owned company.

        I’m talking about hanging a Palestinian flag on my porch in a borderline socialist neighborhood. Keep your threat models sane and don’t spread paranoia. It keeps people from actually doing the good work.
