Call Dan Dare!
Heās the man to do it.
A man before his time.
(I declare an interestā¦
I had a pair of Dan Dare wellies when I was 5, so I am prejudiced).

I donāt think youāve been put in charge of deciding whoās right or wrong on this issue.

It is, but not the only one.

None of that is.
But flaunting a Hezbollah flag does, although Kneecap has prudently now said it does not support Hamas or Hezbollah.
But naming yourself after a brutal terrorist punishment action also tells a story.

Thatās cleared a few things up.

You seem to have a problem with the exercise of free speech Iām not criticising āeverybody elseā.
But it ought to be possible to sever support for Palestinians from support for their reactionary & oppressive leadership who are now one of many obstacles to peace & Palestinian national liberation.

Very few have: most (football fans for example) havenāt.
Itās welcome of course, if limited & shallow.
And also selective.
I donāt see much solidarity with the people of Sudan, for example, the worldās worst humanitarian crisis where 25 million people need food aid.

Iām entitled to comment on anything here!!
Also, I note you overlooked my reference to the glorification of punishment shootings?
Part of the vile repertoire of brutal repression by the Provisional IRA.
Do you not see a connection?

If by āthemā you mean Hamas, I abhor them & do not support them or their vile actions which have set back progress towards full Palestinian statehood, possibly for ever.
If āthemā is the Palestinian people, I stand with them unreservedly, as I always have.

No. I donāt.
Itās an apolitical bandwagon.
Where were all these newfound supporters of the Palestinians & other victims of oppression before?
My support for the Palestinian people stops at support for their reactionary leadership which bears considerable responsibility for the current carnage.

Thereās something profoundly ironic about the hashtag #standwithkneecap.
Standing after a kneecapping was a bit difficult.
I disagree that glorifying vicious punishment shootings in N. Ireland or supporting Hizbollah (or Hamas) represents ācourage conviction & integrity in the face of injusticeā.
