            Cool, so selfish performative activism/virtue signaling that will absolutely NOT change anything is more important than letting a bunch of people have a moment of normal life where they can just celebrate an accomplishment.

            And to be clear, I don’t care what the flag/message/etc is.

            Interrupt every ceremony

            Maybe dial it back, Westboro Baptist Church…

              There are like 5 major genocides happening in the world right now. Palestine isn’t even the biggest one.

              A moment ago you were pretending you didn’t even know the basic facts about the situation, now you’re reciting Hazbara lies with complete confidence. Fuck off, Zionist

          When a society commits the ultimate crime, it forfeits the right to decide the time and place of it’s reckoning

      Bad. Solidarity with people being subjected to human atrocities is something folks ought to be able to express.

      Denying someone that isn’t right.

        “BUT how will it make people feel to have to see support and solidarity of the people they are genociding?”

        Fucking Nazi behavior. I’m sick of it honestly, pretending that Zionists haven’t always been Nazis.

      So we can’t know without context. Was there a policy on no flags/signs/speeches?

      They should’ve have a second test with an Israel flag, and a control with the American flag.

      Or I guess just check their donor list for Israeli contributions that would obligate them. That’s probably easier.

        How about not politics or religion. Just go up there and accept your diploma. Don’t derail the event and make it all about you, otherwise everyone will start doing that and what a mess it will become.
