Society/Culture Alex Pearce supports Palestine/promotes terrorism depending who you ask

[ElectricG]

But you’re wanting him to apologise on what you think is supporting terrorism meanwhile starvation and sniping kids increases in Gaza. It’s just pathetic.

Terrorism continues to be a bad thing so long as a genocide is going on. Would you back them in if they started waving swastikas around on stage?

Not sure what you’re comparing swastikas to but like I said your wanting an apology because of Pearce’s retweet is looking more than silly as time passes.

How come? This is Kneecap at Glastonbury:

Why? Has time revealed that Hamas aren’t the same pieces of shit they always were?

 

[RCAB]

i think that the IDF has terrorised lots of innocent civilians, that means you support terrorists. #concerning #ElectricGLovesTerrorists

I see English rapper Bob Vylan chanting pro Palestine chants on BBC while on stage at Glastonbury.

He will have doubled his profile as a result of all the outrage within a week. Guaranteed.

The right wing hand wringers feeding the hype is the most ironic thing of all. It’s pretty hilarious in one sense actually

- a man of strength and integrity. There is is no doubt the the Aussie establishment is terrified that several more AFL players might come out and support him. So they are going as hard as possible now on Pearce to put the genie back in the bottle.

Hopefully several more players from other clubs support Alex and give two fingers to hutchy and the pro Zionist lobby. **** censorship. There’s a genocide happening.

Vylan now being investigated by UK police for saying “Free Palestine” and insulting the Israeli “Defence” Force.

Nobody in this thread has “backed them in”. The history of Kneecap is irrelevant to the content of Pearce’s post, and to the current plight of millions in Gaza.

Since you at least now admit that a genocide is going on, perhaps you’ll concern yourself with the policies of the Israeli government, who are perpetrating it, or with the governments and media in the US and Australia, who are enabling it.

Alex Pearce was right to speak out, and should be applauded rather than asked to apologise.

Khawaja refused to do an interview with SEN last week.

Hutchy told Peter Lalor that he would be sacked because his voice scares people.
His voice scares people because he made some anti-genocide comments.

 

[Harlott]

No it’s because time continues to reveal the IDF are bigger pieces of shit than what was thought.

 

[ElectricG]

Again, no matter how bad the IDF are, this doesn’t make Hamas any more defensible. Why is this so hard to understand?

The history of Kneecap is the whole point of this thread and the controversy. Alex Pearce should not be applauded for sharing content from people who support terrorism.

Your new angle boils down to “people are dying and STILL you think terrorism is bad!?”. It’s just so silly.

Hamas is not currently committing genocide, why is this so hard for you to understand?

 

[ElectricG]

Well they were doing that on October 7 but have been too busy getting their arse kicked since.

The Nazis aren’t committing genocide any more either. Is retweeting people are known primarily for supporting Nazis the action of a MAN OF STRENGTH AND INTEGRITY? Or is it just as bad as it ever was?

That line about strength and integrity is so cringe btw. What the hell are you talking about lol. Like well done pressing “share” on your phone Alex.

Not hard to see who would have been on the side of Apartheid South Africa back in the day.

Pearce should be commended for his stance against a genocide. Nowhere is he defending Hamas.
Despite pressure from a few offended fans it’s a non issue. The afl have treated it as such.

I think we are going around in circles.

Agree Alex himself hasn’t shared content or opinions that are bad in their own right. The repost from kneecap wasn’t bad in itself. The issue is that kneecap promote Hamas. It’s not a massive deal or the end of the world, but I think Alex shouldn’t be doing that.

Agree.
But Alex should be doing exactly what he has been. Using his platform to stand up against what is going on in Gaza.

Agree to disagree and we can let this thread die (unless Alex wants to start reposting Kanye)

Or he starts reposting pro IDF

Freomaniac was spotted with Caroline Wilson at Glastonbury... Phones at the ready to take footage of any Premier League player who was in attendance. This sort of active support for terrorism is antisemitic and is a blight on English Football!

Please point to anything that has been posted by Alex Pearce, or anyone in this thread, that has supported Hamas in any way, shape or form...

Ummm... This thread shows exactly why it takes courage to do what he did.

I’d love to see 40 or 50 afl players releasing a joint statement condemning the actions of the Israeli government in Gaza.
The scrambling and mental gymnastics from the media in response would be a sight to behold!
