Witnesses at the scene told CBS Colorado that the suspect attacked people with Molotov cocktails who were participating in a walk to remember the Israeli hostages who remain in Gaza.
Run For Their Lives, which organized the walk, said, “This is not a protest; it is a peaceful walk to show solidarity with the hostages and their families, and a plea for their release.” The group met at 1 p.m. at Pearl Street and 8th Street to walk the length of the Pearl Street Mall and back with a stop at the courthouse for a video.
Tone deaf is asserting that hostages don’t matter because you think someone else deserves attention better.
This is why you people are and will forever remain politically irrelevant. Nobody wants to associate with antisemites like you.
You are not having this conversation in good faith. You’re taking a very closed-minded perspective to someone saying “killing thousands of children is bad” AND “not enough was even done to save the hostages.” I’ve met people like you in real life, and I suspect the pain of admitting that you’re even slightly in the wrong about a country you value must really hurt, but it does not make genocide apologia ok. I’ve accepted my own country sucks, so you can make peace with a place like Israel too.
Also, if “discussion” like this is what this comm tolerates, I sure as hell don’t want to be a part of the conversations here.
I’m not making genocide apologia. I have not said anything regarding Israel.
I promise you it is 100% their genocidal actions I take issue with and not their religion.
What’s genocidal about wanting hostages released?
The fact that the government perpetuating the war doesn’t want the hostages released so as to preserve their justification for war.
Where the fuck does the government come into this? These are individual Jews coming together calling for the release of their own.
That’s an extremely weird question, lol.
In what way?
If it was actually a rally in support of the hostages, then it would be an anti-Israel protest over that government’s refusal to accept any deal to secure their release and the active perpetuation of military “rescue” operations that have killed said hostages.
By all accounts, this was a pro-Israel rally.
It is endlessly fascinating that you people seem to think you are the sole determinators of what a legitimate political demonstration is, despite the fact that your demonstrations have not only failed to accomplish what you want, but have actively distanced you from your supposed goal.
They marched quietly holding signs of the hostages. The fact you equate this with supporting Israel just proves you don’t give a fuck about Palestinians, you’re an antisemite looking for an excuse.
