Well said! A splendid summary of the idiocy of Politics of Joy meets the Gaza Genocide. And don't you ever forget that Israel Has a Right to Defend Itself if you're arguing with someone who objects to their slaughter of tens of thousands of Palestinian women and children with 2,000 lb bombs.

Or the right to turn you pager or walkie talkie into a bomb your kid might be sitting next to.

It's all US/Israeli terror.

Terrorist act, yes, but more to the point its a Prank!! Who says you shouldn't have fun while busily engaged in genocide. This is not to say that our most fun Prank of all, the instructions to the populace to flee to this or that "safety zone" and then blow them up when they get there, this newest stunt just adds a little levity to genocide: it's a lot more personal!

It's like Lucy holding the football. Charlie Brown falls for it every time! Who knew he was Palestinian?

Like George Galloway says, how can you ever trust these companies again?

Not living in the usa and not being us-american [this is a disclaimer] i'd would kindly remember you that during the whole fight of our gay emancipation movement there never was a moment we used our rainbow-flag against any other group.

We never fought for a genocide. We will always fight for human rights.

I do understand why it comes very handy to use this symbol in the way this cartoon does. Even if your intentions were good - which I can't know, see disclaimer - I just can say: NOT IN MY NAME. 🏳️‍🌈🇵🇸

As with all minority communities, Democrats exploit the gay community.

At the beginning of his political career, Obama said he was for gay marriage. Then when running for president he was against it. Then he he said it was something to possibly consider (until he could see the politics change). Then he was for gay marriage.

All politicians are cowards and all will exploit and take advantage of oppressed minorities for short-term personal political -- and financial -- gain.

For the Democrats to make lofty, fuzzy claims of support for the gay community while sending a river of 2,000-lb bombs to be rained down on Gaza refugee camps is one the grossest examples of political virtue signaling one could imagine.

Shortly after the US/Gaza genocide began, I approached the pastor of a very liberal church in my community that I occasionally attended and flies Pride flags outside its entrance, about the possibility of setting up a Peace & Justice Committee to educate and act on Gaza. She said she'd get back to me. And never did. Whenever she sees me in the community she scurries away.

Typical American liberal Democrat. Boldly speaking out on human rights ... when it's safe and acceptable to do so.

What are you all talking about? Mr Mumbles is being clear and I walk with Mr. Mumbles The fudge packers stole the rainbow from us and Mr. Mumbles is taking it back. Boom , Mike Drop. Mike Drop, from Western Iowa, says it best, ‘Ya um. Um. These colors don’t have the runs… I mean don’t run. And Uncle Travis wrote about this in a tear jerking song. So thank you Mr. mumbles for your clarity and our flag… the colored flag..” ‘What?’ Oh, the flag of the colored and the home of the Atlanta Braves. The clarity. The clarity.
