A family member told me that I "should raise the Palestinian flag if I care about the innocent children and civilians who are bombed in Gaza."

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag specifically because I care about the innocent children and civilians who are bombed in Gaza.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag because innocent children are bombed in Gaza because of Hamas.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag because this flag is weaponized to exacerbate an antisemitic agenda that I will not stand by.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag because most people who raise the Palestinian flag scream, "From the river to the sea, the Jews will be eradicated.”

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag because I care for innocent Palestinian lives, but I do not care for terrorism.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag until the majority of Palestinians collectively condemn and ex-communicate Hamas.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag until Palestinians wish to live in peace side by side with the Jews.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag because I do not have to prove my humanity and empathy to those who do not seek peace.

I will NOT raise the Palestinian flag until Palestine is free from Hamas.
