(6,934 posts)4. No surprise.
These kids have been recruited passively by Hamas social media for a long time in preparation for this kind of post 10/7 activity.
And, unfortunately, for every one of these incidents reported broadly, there are probably a dozen or more that don’t get reported. And for everyone that says the quiet part out loud, there are probably hundreds who say it to themselves.

I am okay with that. I don't expect people who so strongly believe Palestinians shouldn't be free to the point

"Free Palestine" is not an offensive statement. "Fucking Jews" *is* an offensive statement.

Saying "free Palestine" is "anti-Semetic" or a curse is as equally immoral as shouting "fucking Jews"
