    Ok, so when was the last time someone was stabbed over a Nazi flag?

    What is happening in Gaza is a travesty, and indeed the government of Israel is (over) reacting to an unprecedented terrorist attack by attacking civilians.

    But neither the man, nor his flag are in Israel or Palestine, the dude is in the US where extremists of every type are just itching to use any excuse to commit violent acts, especially against the latest group in the spotlight (Jews are the current fad, outshines Muslims for the moment).

    Instead of condoning more violence, put your efforts into ending the violence.

      I never defended stabbing people over raising the Israeli flag. The person in the article is mad someone put some paint on a small part of their home. Their safety wasn’t threatened in any way. Also making it clear Zionism is not okay does contribute to ending the violence. Israel’s genocide (and more general ethnic cleansing project) lives and dies by Western public goodwill.
