Edit:

To respect the feelings of our Serbian comrades I would like to point out that this is not representative of the protests at large.

I am literally just trying to say: look at this freak I found. The normal libs are the ones carrying the bloody hand print sign from the ZLF. It looks similar to this. In the pic above it has a QR code. The Opposition in general are attempting to co-opt this protest movement.

    Does the “English signs in non-anglo countries are a psyop” thing still hold for e.g. “Free Palestine” signs? Cause I’ve seen plenty of pro-Palestine signs across Europe be written in english

      There’s a few reasons to have signs in English. Palestine protests in the west have English signs because they started off and are still powered by international students/communities.

      There’s also lots of Palestinians where I live who don’t speak the local language fluently yet and thus communicate a lot in English.

      “Free palestine” is a very short slogan known to many and also it’s an inherently anti-US position to hold given how the US unabashedly supports genocide. More detailed slogans are very rarely in English from my experience
