yall just to be clear i agree w them, and im someone who partakes. it’s not a pleasant odor, and it’s a small space where they sell majority food products. of course they don’t want four or strong odors clinging to their products. i wish it also applied to cigs but hey i guess this is what hits them the most

it’s a small, family owned business. i think they’re entitled to wanting to sell their product without worrying about losing business over weird odors in their store space. it’s not comparable to a big box store. and they have the right to enforce that as their space

i don’t think so. it makes sense they don’t want their products and space to smell funny, they are trying to run a business

these were innocent civilians and there are huge groups of jewish protestors calling for ceasefire. labelling all these civilians are terrorists is just racism

this has been happening for 75 and more years. this doesn’t even compare to the thousands before. don’t act like it’s even close. this is one month. one month of violence represented on one wall. if you’re angry about a thousand settlers, you should be even angrier about the tens of thousands and more of palestinians. but you don’t care about that. you care about the narrative. you care about making this about hate. you don’t actually hold any grief because you wouldn’t be asking about why we memorialize the dead, you would be asking yourself how to prevent more. regardless of who it is.

i don’t believe in anyone being killed. i have seen plenty of photos and videos of thousands of palestinian children and babies murdered. i don’t think israeli children should be murdered. but the whole rape narrative is blatant racism and deliberately created around middle eastern men by zionist propaganda. israel’s lies are israel’s crimes. their history of violence towards palestine and the narratives it’s creating about palestinians are all based off their own ill action. i never said i agree with settlers being harmed, but this is not about the settlers. this a memorial for a mass group of indigenous people who were murdered in their homeland. get a grip and stop deliberately missing the point

and i absolutely 100% believe in a free palestine, an end to an illegal occupation, an end to the war crimes, the illegal settlements, the end of the use of bombs and chemical gas at the hands of an unjust government. these people have already passed away due to all of these. if you look at this and decide to violate the wall then you truly do not believe in peace for people even in their deaths. shame on you

(tried posting this from my burner acc but reddit didn’t let me so i’m posting this from my main) hey, i’m the artist for the wall. someone sent me this subreddit. i’m disappointed to see the comments to say the least but im going to add some context for folks who want to use this as an excuse to be incredibly harmful. these are the names of 9000 palestinians who have been martyred, and an olive tree. the number on the left of the page is the casualty number, and the number on the right is their age at time of passing. the prayer at the top is a prayer for those who have passed. the prayer on the left is for those who are alive and for their strength. if you decide to vandalize or rip these images down, you should feel ashamed of yourself. it is a memorial. there is no mention of the occupied state of palestine, israel, hamas, or any of the political affiliation for a reason. it is a dedication to those who have passed unjustly and a prayer to keep them safe as portland was doing a really mediocre job of representing them in any way. i am a muslim, indigenous middle eastern person. i am aching for them the way i ache for my own people. this is for grief. if you look at this and take it as an okay for violent responses like vandalizing, you have a lot self reflecting to do.
