In a nearby town where I live, there will be a "Pro-Israel Rally". The organizer says:
It is being organized by local resident Gat Slor, who says, “I have seen, to my dismay, on the news, a lot of pro-Hamas rallies, all over the world, including in our own country. I felt the need to have one in our little town for Israel so that we can show the world that we support Israel.”
This sort of mentality is reminding me of the 9/11 time when people were using the attack in New York as a sort of emotional launch-pad for all sorts of rhetoric in support of invasions, wars and general emotional manipulation (if you are not for us you are against us).
I personally have not seen ANY pro-Hamas rallies. However, I have seen a lot of rallies in support of Palestinians.
Is this an example of Straw Man Arguments? I honestly cannot tell if people are being purposefully obtuse about the distinction or if they are seeing actual pro-Hamas rallies like they say.
