> I'm very interested to hear if you have personal experience to the contrary. However if you are not involved in anything, then you have no right to criticise those who are.

I do. Am I allowed to speak now? There is no wide solidarity in both directions. If the Palestine block joins a queer demonstration and uses dog-whistles like paraglider symbolism in their communication, the messaging surely isn't solidarity with queer people. And soon thereafter, all you will see is Palestine flags, hear "Palestine 43" until the demonstration gets dissolved because someone says something wildly antisemitic, gets removed by the police, which causes riot. But hey, queer life got no reason to have their voices heard these days. Somebody may get a whole lot less free, until everyone is free, I guess.

But in any case, how fucking dare you, I have every right to criticize whatever I want. You don't know anything about the person you casually guilt-tripped above, maybe you should take that into consideration when talking speech rules.

Where and when did this happen?

Yes sorry a correction: you can criticise of course, but it carries no weight unless you are doing something too and have strategic advice to share.

Arguing online accomplishes nothing, but taking to the streets (even if non-optimally) just might.

		So, what level of evidence would it take, to change your mind? You see, I won't spend any more time on this, if you are going to deflect any evidence provided. There is public record for the things I stated above. Would this make you concede here? Failure to bring forth an argument after provided with evidence, eg. not replying at all, will be considered concession. Oh, and the scope is the genocide happening right now, not the fight for "Palestinian liberation", if this includes the dissolution of the state of Israel. "Palestine 43" and similar doesn't fly in Germany. And any celebration of the October attacks, in particular the festival massacre is considered antisemitic and glorification of illegitimate violence in nature. The paraglider is a symbol of this attack. Deal?

Also, if you mean that protests get surpressed by police because the Palestine issue gets raised there, please direct your anger at the state not fellow activists. This is how they divide us.

		Well, I've been there. I've seen/heard why someone would have been detained. Although, of course, it didn't happen right next to me, but there were plenty of slogans and shouts completely unrelated to the current genocide, calling for the dissolution of the state of Israel. See, I don't want to justify the police action. They are assholes. But, for "solidarity" with queer causes, I'd expect people maybe not to push every button, so they can paint themselves as the suppressed of the suppressed, effectively making queer voices unheard.
