   @GossiTheDog Could you explain why it is viewed as progressive to rip/scratch off posters calling for the release of the hostages in Western CBDs?

     @GossiTheDog Two more questions on the Left’s response to hostages (and they’re not on the Red Cross’s bizarre lack of effort/interest over 2023 and 2024 in even visiting the hostages to review LOAC compliance by Hamas):

     Why do progressives never unanimously call for the hostages to be released? Or is this like how many progressives remain silent on the plight of Yazidi girls under ISIS?

     Whether it’s the marking/arson attacks on Jews’ homes in your country and mine, (attempted) firebombing of synagogues and indeed the decisions by the Pro-Palestine side (ie progressives who claim their ‘advocacy against Israel’ is not against the Jewish faith) to protest in front of/near synagogues, I am really confused by what liberalism or progressivism is.

     Is it progressive to aggressively raise the issue of civcas in Gaza/West Bank but stay utterly silent/celebrate/desire another October 7/attack on places of worship belonging to an identity group that is not a vote bank for the Left?
