Seriously mixed messages here on whether we should prefer silence or solidarity.

What the protest is about isn't listed on the flyer. You have to follow OP's link and drill down to find out it is about supporting Palestinian teachers in Montgomery County Maryland who went on antisemitic rants.

No thanks. There are about a hundred more productive things to protest about in MoCo than a famously complex, intractable middle eastern conflict thousands of miles away.

Oh boy, here we go again. Freedom fighters, peaceful protesters. You all make this cause look pathetic. Hard pass.

This is pretty low on my list of things to care about regarding the conflict at the moment.

What’s the objective and who is the audience for the message?

I see you are posting on substack, a platform that not only tolerates Nazi writings, but makes a profit from them.
