MODERATORS
I have seen people on Lemmygrad celebrating what Hamas did and talking about how they hoped the hostages get tortured. It is not accurate to claim nobody is saying what Hamas did was acceptable.
Mia Khalifa is certainly celebrating it.
So is BLM Chicago, and the greater movement doesn't seem to object.
Brooklyn College students held a vigil for the dead; others went to protest the vigil, screaming the whole time that it was "justified."
Londoners vandalized a Jewish neighborhood. Australians are chanting "gas the Jews." New Yorkers at the "pro-Palestinian" marches gleefully waved swastikas.
A group of something like 30 Harvard clubs issued a statement saying Israel was entirely at fault for the attack, didn't mention Hamas at all.
Most of this happened before any reprisals. They're not complaining about reprisals, they're glorifying the violence.
Lots of people are saying it was acceptable, lots of people are celebrating it, and they're not all too subtle about why.
