    Surely all the people who wanted Nazis off Substack will also celebrate the ban on the Hamas flag

    Oh wait, the Israeli government is very clearly promoting a violent ideology as well… we need to… outlaw the Israeli flag?

    Oh wait

    Hang on

      I like how Israel is probably a major reason for the rising anti-semitism yet the world ignores that part for whatever reason

        I don’t support Hamas. They killed all those people; fuck them. I also don’t support the current Israeli government, because they occupy, kill, torture, rape, and systematically dehumanize 5 million people, most of whom didn’t do anything wrong and just want to live. So, fuck the Israeli government too.

        I was just making a point about how forbidding the flags doesn’t have much to do with solving anything about that situation.

          Your comparison is a bit amiss though. The comparable thing would be to ban symbols of Likud and right-wing Israeli parties.
