    If I was in the 1930s, and being horrified day-in day-out about the genocide that everyone is constantly being reminded about, and I went to the opera to mentally escape, just for one night. A single night where it’s not on my mind and I can go out to try and enjoy myself, and then someone made it about the genocide. I’d be less than thrilled.

      Ohh boo-hoo. So you have to put up with being “less than thrilled” for a few minutes while people are trying to prevent genocide. You poor selfish thing.

      I mean an entire people and culture is being destroyed and you’re upset about having to be “less than thrilled” to have to learn about it??? By seeing a flag for 10 seconds?

      WTF?

        Everyone already knows about it. Showing a flag achieves nothing. Maybe your mental health is good enough that you can deal with constant depression all day every day but some of us need an escape once in a while.

          These kind of acts keep the genocide in the news and force people to be aware of what’s happening at the very least.

          Zionist medias absolutely want to keep the palestinian genocide under wrap and this actor put his livelihood on the line for what he believes in.

          This is more than a lot of people have done, and comments like yours perpetuate the status quo

      Good thing most germans didn’t even know about the gas chambers until after the war, it was just politics for most.

      You went to see an opera about Italians escaping Napolean’s armies as they invade Italy in which the newly appointed chief of police uses his power to kill the lover and family of the woman he chooses to be his bride, only for her to kill him and then herself in order to forget about genocide?
