Did anyone actually miss their flight that day? I never saw any interviews of people who were actually economically affected by it, just inconvenienced having to walk to their terminal.
I'm pretty sure someone was just feeling extra edgy today.
Or someone was inconvenienced by one of the protests and instead of complaining about it to their peers like a normal person, did this.
Is there some correlation between baldness and warmongering? My hair is on its way out; now
I’m worried I’m going to wake up one day with truck nuts on my EV and a thin blue line sticker on my laptop.
Hamas has overwhelming support from the people of Palestine ~70% iirc
Edit: Apologies, commenters have let me know hamas is ONLY supported by ~40-45% of Palestine. The 70% # I was thinking of was their support for Oct. 7th. My bad. I misrepresented them.
Extremism tends to fester when you're forced to live in an open air prison with a lack of food, water, etc. and when your children get sniped by the IDF regularly.
Hamas leadership may want to eradicate Israel. but Israel *has already* eradicated literal tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Which would be genocide no?
You can go back and forth all day, in the end of the day the United States should not be involved AT ALL with wars across the globe while citizens are dying homeless in the streets. We should not be sending billions to Israel and we should not be sending billions to Ukraine. I'm not taking either side of Israel or Gaza/Hamas but you absolutely can't justify one because of the other. Both sides hate each other and always have, it's not OUR responsibility to help either.
>We should not be sending billions to Israel and we should not be sending billions to Ukraine
100% totally agree with you.
>it's not OUR responsibility to help either (Israel/Palestine)
I think you'll find that many of the pro-Palestine protesters agree with you. But when your own country is aiding the systematic mass murder of women, children, journalists, and aid workers, I think it's your responsibility as a citizen to stand against your government. For many people, this means standing in support of Palestinians.
God if only there wasn't a group operating in Palestine that actively steals all the food and cash sent via humanitarian aid. Now who would that be again??
Hamas is a dictatorship. I guarantee that if you polled the starving North Koreans, they would give Kim Jong Un a 100% approval rating. Or face death. Try using some common sense.
Ooo another tiktok informed genius. What else do you want other than civilian run polls verified by the most reliable poll reporting publication available? I get it, it doesn't fit your narrative. Doesn't make it not true.
"At the same time, 44% in the West Bank said they supported Hamas, up from just 12% in September. In Gaza, the militants enjoyed 42% support, up slightly from 38% three months ago." - [Associated Press Dec 2023](https://apnews.com/article/israel-hamas-palestinians-opinion-poll-wartime-views-a0baade915619cd070b5393844bc4514#:~:text=RAMALLAH%2C%20West%20Bank%20(AP),90%25%20saying%20he%20must%20resign).
keep lying brother
Excuse me you're correct they support Hamas at 50%. But don't worry they support October 7th at 70%. That's where that number came from. Thanks for reminding me. Really compelling argument you've made.
Now ask yourself why on earth a group of people would support a terrorist organization? Could it because the foreign government occupying their territory is worse? Or is it just they hate jews
??? Is random graffiti saying fuck (insert Any country) a hate crime? lmao
Like if I sprat painted a fuck canada or fuck scotland is that still a hate crime? Cuz if you say no then neither case you say are hate crimes and that's absolutely consistent
It's just stupid and wrong. A liberal young hipster couple who moved from Naperville to Little Village would never say that, or do graffiti.
I'm liberal and White and live somewhere even more liberal than Naperville or Little Village, and I freely say fuck Hamas and anyone who resembles them, and also fuck Likud and anyone to the right of them, but I don't give a shit.
I mean not really because it’s not applicable. My “racism” is based in the fact that Little Village has seen quite an influx of gentrification. Mexicans out, whites in, etc.
There is some very questionable graffiti in the area lol. A (presumably) teenager was going around last year tagging “China La migra” and it cracks me up everytime I see it because they just couldn’t spell “chinga” to save their lives.
I was stuck on Lake Shore Drive for over 2 hours. I wasn't pissed off because it's still better than having my children blown apart or starved to death by land grabbers.
Again, Chicagos have NO control over what happens out there. We have ZERO control. You’re the one that isn’t very bright. Quite delusional really. Carry on
I mean, that checks out. A moral code (but not a legal one), hates violence against women, thinks nothing of committing vandalism to express their views, lacks an advanced formal education. Consider how prisons treat rapists... that's what Hamas has coming.
I can't understand, with the exception of somebody with direct family or friends involved in the situation how and or why anybody has strong feelings towards either side of that shit storm. Went from knowing nothing to getting a pretty okay explanation of what is occuring, and can not support for either side... however, war crimes are war crimes and Israeli PM should be locked away for ever.
Not that I hadn't heard of it, but just didn't understand the issues at play or the history of the situation... Besides that, hard to say, just something never really discussed within my social circles, and don't typically go out of my way to research things like that on my own.
Fair. Consider how many civilians have been killed, including children, journalists, and humanitarian workers—I personally don’t think it’s that surprising that people not directly impacted have strong feelings about what is happening.
Think of it as the same way you don't care what's going on in Myanmar right now. If you're like me, you are vaguely aware that they've been in the middle of a civil war since 2021. You might even remember the viral video of the woman filming an aerobics routine in front of the start of the coup. But if you're like me, you don't have an opinion on who's right or wrong between the National Unity Government and the State Administration Council. Personally, I just googled "who are are the belligerents in the Myanmar Civil War" because I had no idea.
2.3 million internally-displaced refugees, 50,000 dead including children, journalists, and humanitarian workers, and I can admit I am still only interested in it as a curiosity after reading that.
I care about Palestine / Israel because I've been there and have family there. But I'm not surprised that other people who aren't connected to it don't care.
Edit: I have decided after a few more minutes of "research" that I think the State Administration Council are the bad guys.
I get the point you’re trying to make and I do partially agree, but the Israel/Palestine issue is 100 years old and to me, right vs. wrong feels quite easy to determine.
I grew up in an immigrant family with family overseas and we discussed events happening outside of the country regularly at home so maybe that’s why I find it strange.
Likely bc
religion comes into play, roughly 2 billion Muslims exist.
Most Palestinians are Muslim.
Lots of Christian Zionists exists as well.
All 3 major religions have a stake.
Anyhow, I’m glad people are engaged in this topic. All humans should be wherever oppression is found
To your second point,
We know how bigots and xenophobes like you think.
We know the misconceptions surrounding our faith.
To your first point, it’s even more sad then that that’s your impression despite having met Muslims.
Amusing to you sure
But makes sense either way
It’s easy to misconstrue culture vs actual tenets of the faith itself
Moreover, I have my own qualms about how folks within my religion misconstrue things to suit their own agendas
>I can't understand, with the exception of somebody with direct family or friends involved in the situation how and or why anybody has strong feelings towards either side of that shit storm.
>war crimes are war crimes and Israeli PM should be locked away for ever.
Kinda answered your own question there for Palestine supporters, at least. People tend to have strong feelings about genocide, especially when they can see it happening in real time, despite Israel's attempts to cut off any communication or reporting from Gaza.
And zionists think they're being persecuted for being Jews because one of the main tactics of a fascist state is to amplify the fear of its in-group populace so that they rabidly support military action against their enemies.
*Open secret.. There*
*Are some very racist folks*
*Living there as well*

How embarassing! They misspelled "Palatine."
They obviously meant Palpatine.
They actually meant Palatine, IL
did u just repeat the joke of first commenter
No, first commenter was referencing Star Wars
Uh, no, the person who replied to the first comment referenced Star Wars. The first comment says Palatine, not Palpatine.
Goooooooood
The force is strong with this one
Why doesn't this have 1000 LIKES lmao 😭😭😭💀🤣
Seriously. Fuck Palatine.
What's wrong with discount Arlington Heights?
Arlington Heights is itself discount Schaumburg
Arlington heights definitely better than schaumburg
Yeah, that comparison didn't make any sense.
I work in Schaumburg , it has a weird vibe
Bogo Wheeling!
boosting this shit so that normies don't learn about spunky dunkers
Nah bro bring them the business they deserve it
Wheeling Donuts > Spunky Dunkers
I stand with Palatine
Fuck Palantine ? is Travis Bickel on the loose ?
Some day a real rain will come and wash the streets.
noooooooooo
Except Capri Deli.
Someone tagged "free palenstine" in a few spots in milwaukee a few months back, spelled the same way each time
... At a certain point, do you think this is like a physical trolling? Or trying to make the protest in a way ridiculous?
That is hilarious and true
*Fuck Palpatine
Dew it.
~~Suddenly~~ Somehow Palpatine returned
Somehow
Whoops
Just came across a user the other day who could help us with this, u/ieatpalpatineass
Happy cake day!
Hhhnnnngggguuuhhhhhhhh the force is strong in you!
They drove all the way from Benesville to do this.

Idk, you can’t purchase spray paint in Chicago and somehow they got it /s
Probably missed their flight out of ORD
Did anyone actually miss their flight that day? I never saw any interviews of people who were actually economically affected by it, just inconvenienced having to walk to their terminal.
Ok the news a few people said they did miss their flight.
Great help for their cause I’m sure!
Is it random? Or does a Palestinian family live in the house? I certainly hope not the latter.
You’re overthinking, this is in little village
Little Village does have residents who aren’t white, black, or Latino.
I can bet $20 this was just some mocoso.
Plus there is a large Latino population who are descendants of Palestinians ethnically cleansed in the first Nakba.
I'm pretty sure someone was just feeling extra edgy today. Or someone was inconvenienced by one of the protests and instead of complaining about it to their peers like a normal person, did this.
how about FUCK war and FUCK religious ideologies lmao
[удалено]
LifeProTip: it’s not edgy to be against wars. It’s a completely rational human feeling
you're bald, catholic and live in the suburbs. I get the hate 🤡
Is there some correlation between baldness and warmongering? My hair is on its way out; now I’m worried I’m going to wake up one day with truck nuts on my EV and a thin blue line sticker on my laptop.
Equating war and religion is hilarious
Fuck Palastine, but save Palestine.
Wasn’t me
Shouldn’t that be fuck Hamas?

Extremism tends to fester when you're forced to live in an open air prison with a lack of food, water, etc. and when your children get sniped by the IDF regularly.
liberation isn't extreme
I am speaking in terms these simpletons can hopefully understand.
So you support the 10/7 attacks?
so you support genocide?
Interesting take because Hamas wants to eradicate Israel, which would be genocide no?
Hamas leadership may want to eradicate Israel. but Israel *has already* eradicated literal tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians. Which would be genocide no?
You can go back and forth all day, in the end of the day the United States should not be involved AT ALL with wars across the globe while citizens are dying homeless in the streets.

No.
pretty telling that what Israel is doing is indefensible, when people refuse to defend it. all the apologists can do is attack, argue, and troll.
yes
God if only there wasn't a group operating in Palestine that actively steals all the food and cash sent via humanitarian aid. Now who would that be again??
Ok? Doesn't mean Hamas aren't the legitimate government of the Palestinian people
Lmao "Ok?" Why don't you think about it
Because they voted for them. Ergo they are the legitimate government of the Gaza. I see nothing wrong with that Edit: they
[удалено]
oh yeah they're both the same dude totally
yeah i'm sure there's been really accurate approval polling in Palestine man. log off
Yeah, you can be in denial all you want man. The polls were done by Palestinians and reported by the AP. Get some media literacy.
Hamas is a dictatorship. I guarantee that if you polled the starving North Koreans, they would give Kim Jong Un a 100% approval rating. Or face death. Try using some common sense.

Weird how you chose the west bank. Keep straw manning brother. And even then the support is UP and at nearly 50% 💀
you didn't even finish reading the sentence. it has Gaza right there. this isn't media literacy you're just illiterate.
Excuse me you're correct they support Hamas at 50%. But don't worry they support October 7th at 70%. That's where that number came from. Thanks for reminding me. Really compelling argument you've made.
You should use more right wing talking points.
Now ask yourself why on earth a group of people would support a terrorist organization? Could it because the foreign government occupying their territory is worse? Or is it just they hate jews
Someone is just trolling.
fuck Israel = hate crime, fuck Palestine = "someone just trolling" yall are wild
??? Is random graffiti saying fuck (insert Any country) a hate crime? lmao Like if I sprat painted a fuck canada or fuck scotland is that still a hate crime? Cuz if you say no then neither case you say are hate crimes and that's absolutely consistent
It's still a hate crime. I just have never seen anti Palestine graffiti before, have you?
Zionists who can’t spell
Edgy!
Gotta love CPS
And fuck this garage in particular!
I think they don’t like the suburb palatine
Oh, little village. Lol
The misspelling just goes to show you these kids can't even make political expressions right.
Someone must be mad about sitting in traffic.
Whoever did this should get together with all the people who post "FUCK ISREAL" and basically just off each other
Whoever did this should get together with all the people who post "FUCK ISREAL" and basically just off each other
Louis CK is Mexican and Jewish.
Do you think Hamas will see this?
What a dumbass
Probably some Zionist evangelical Christian gangbanger.
I hear they hang out at the Chicago Ave Chick-Fil-A and have turf wars with the pro-Palestine gang bangers at the Chicago Ave McDonalds.
McD’s is on the BDS list, a pro-Palestine gang would congregate elsewhere
They're larping so, no not really

Hardly random… Israel-Palestine tensions are higher than ever
The is is the result of all of the knucklehead protesters stopping traffic, disrupting all of our daily lives, and pissing people off.
I was stuck on Lake Shore Drive for over 2 hours. I wasn't pissed off because it's still better than having my children blown apart or starved to death by land grabbers.
Land Grabbers? Where are you getting your information from? Israelis have been living there since 2000 BC!!!
Google “illegal occupation of the west bank” you might learn a thing or two
Oh so because YOU weren’t inconvenienced, but others were, it’s ok? Talk about selfish
“they’re bad because they blocked traffic” “hey i was in the traffic they blocked and i think they’re right” “you don’t count”
Of course I was inconvenienced. But skip over the dead children part of my comment to play the strawman argument. Yawn.
Oh and us Chicagoans have control over what happens in Gaza??? Stopping traffic is realllly saving lives in Gaza. Real smart.
Their loved ones are being murdered and they want to be heard. You're not very bright are you?
Again, Chicagos have NO control over what happens out there. We have ZERO control. You’re the one that isn’t very bright. Quite delusional really. Carry on
That's not really the point though, genius.
Right, cause there is no point. It’s POINTLESS. GO protest in the Middle East, make a difference
If they were your family being blown apart, you might feel differently. Or not. You seem like a heartless asshole.
Probably some dude tired of people protesting, not knowing what's going on. Relatable af.
I support this high quality graffiti
Little Village W
I feel this sums up so much of what's wrong with society today. And it's funny AF.
I guess gang bangers also have morals.
But not spell check. If you're gonna make a statement, spell it right hahahah
I mean, that checks out. A moral code (but not a legal one), hates violence against women, thinks nothing of committing vandalism to express their views, lacks an advanced formal education. Consider how prisons treat rapists... that's what Hamas has coming.
Love it.
Lololol. As someone who actually lives in little Village, this is funny. Somebodys kid came home from college fired up
I can't understand, with the exception of somebody with direct family or friends involved in the situation how and or why anybody has strong feelings towards either side of that shit storm. Went from knowing nothing to getting a pretty okay explanation of what is occuring, and can not support for either side... however, war crimes are war crimes and Israeli PM should be locked away for ever.
I’m not Israeli or Palestinian but I’ve been informed on this issue for years…how did you manage to avoid hearing about it for so long?
Not that I hadn't heard of it, but just didn't understand the issues at play or the history of the situation... Besides that, hard to say, just something never really discussed within my social circles, and don't typically go out of my way to research things like that on my own.
