    Why would they protest in favor of the government that starved them in an attempt at genocide?

      Your comment makes no sense in the context of it being a reply to mine. I’m not saying to protest in favor of anyone–just against the ones who are bringing violence to their land.

        Fine, why would they protest against the government that successfully fought and won a war against Saudi Arabia, the US, and the UAE where they tried to starve them into compliance.

        That’s the hard bit about fighting someone you tried, and failed, to commit genocide against. What more do you have to threaten them with?

          I don’t see how them having won a war makes them immune to protest. People can support a government/group while still disapproving of certain actions.

          For example, I overall approve of Joe Biden. However, I don’t approve of him sending weapons to Israel. Such nuance!
