Everyone already knows about it. Showing a flag achieves nothing. Maybe your mental health is good enough that you can deal with constant depression all day every day but some of us need an escape once in a while.

    These kind of acts keep the genocide in the news and force people to be aware of what's happening at the very least.

    Zionist medias absolutely want to keep the palestinian genocide under wrap and this actor put his livelihood on the line for what he believes in.

    This is more than a lot of people have done, and comments like yours perpetuate the status quo
