@djc I really don't think that's right. On social media, sure, it's a political battlespace and there is all kinds of (in my view destructive) support for the national project. But I think most human beings who follow the news at all either take care not to think too much about or feel terrible sympathy for the humans. and i think lots of the hashtag-free-palestine is a (misguided) way of expressing that sympathy, rather than support first for a political project.

@djc i think Aaron Bushnell is a good example. he died shouting free palestine, but it's clear he was distressed by the killing, the "genocide" and his complicity, "free palestine" was a means of expressing that.
