40. Do you have evidence they do?

You're the one making the assertion. I have the reasonable assumption that human beings are not all identical in their thoughts and motivations. I would assume people who carry Hamas flags share Hamas' goals, but all demonstrators do not carry Hamas flags. I would be very surprised if Greta did. I understand that it serves your purposes to charge ALL demonstrators with being aligned with Hamas because it enables you to delegitimize them and their entire cause. That, however, is a defensive reaction on your part.

There are legitimate reasons to care about human life and the deaths of 40,000 human souls. How can you find that so difficult to comprehend? Additionally, the protests are wrapped up in the entire Palestinian cause and the Apartheid system under which Palestinians live. Now I understand the origins of that lies in wars against Israel and Israel's desire to be free of attack, but it is nonetheless a horrible living situation, particularly in the West Bank. You will disagree with that, but then I imagine I couldn't pay you enough money to live under those conditions yourself.
