Congressional debate cut short in California by shouting and Oct. 7 denial (www.haaretz.com)

In the clips and in a full video of the event, audience members in the Palo Alto City Council chambers are seen interrupting the proceedings and making false statements. The event mirrored other public meetings in the Bay Area since Oct. 7 where pro-Palestinian activists have vilified Israel and either defended Hamas as a "resistance" movement or denied its brutality on that day.

Julie Lythcott-Haims, a candidate who is currently a member of the Palo Alto City Council, faced more of the vitriol.

"I deplore the actions of Hamas on October 7th," she said, to one loud "boo!" from a female audience member.

"Really? Really?" Lythcott-Haims said. "They butchered people, murdered people, raped people and took hostages."

At mention of the word "raped," the audience exploded with anger. Amid the swell of noise, a boy draped in a Palestinian flag yelled about Hamas: "They did not murder anyone!"

When organizers regained control of the room, Lythcott-Haims said: "I did not know that that would be a controversial statement."

(video of the exchange is in the original paywalled article but archive.today turns embedded videos into screenshots, so for those who want to see it but can't open the paywalled article here's the direct link: https://www.instagram.com/danielleyablonka/reel/C2yyfi9sRMx/)

Criticizing both sides is antisemitic.

Criticize Israel and see how quick your comment is deleted for some bullshit.

Something a totally honest completely legitimate non-terrorist state would do.

It is not antisemitic to criticise the genocidal lunatics and also the lunatics who'd be doing genocide if they had any power to act on wanting to

[–] butt_mountain_69420 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

See, that's what I thought, but the mods here don't see it that way. Try it out. Be specific about who the genocidal lunatics are, point out that what they've done is an actual "Crime Against Humanity." If you want to be permabanned, point out the irony vis-a-vis 1946 and today.

It happens here literally all the time.
