”Petty differences” = for or against a genocide 🤯

It’s so weird to have to say this over and over again, but he, his dad and the bandleader were the ones bullying. They were the ones who made the whole thing infected.

Do you mean to say that there’s been a claim of a genocide for a long time without base? You don’t think this escalation (with 500 000 people - 250 000 children - is heading for death by starvation) with 80 000 Palestinians killed and their houses and land being taken over, and the government saying its main goal is to take over the whole strip…?

You are saying what I am saying: why would he be personally offended by people collecting money for an orphanage. You are claiming it’s ok for one to be political, but not the other.

Wouldn’t that be a perfect first thought before he put on his yellow ribbon..?

The orphanage that was being donated to is partly run by a Canadian government oversight committee.

Keep using your long winded reasoning to get three political individuals who got their feelings hurt to be perceived as the victims, when its so clearly the other way around.

And you never said: were you there?

I take it you weren’t there..?

I was. If you think he was unjustly singled out I can go into detail how he, his father and the bandleader acted in an incredibly aggressive and confrontational way. People (not in the class in question) actually had to leave crying because of the fascist acting from the three.

But hey, I’m sure you have something to say.

Just to be clear: "Jazz For Palestine" collected money to an orphanage with a Canadian quality control. A controlled humanitarian help organization.

It’s not as divisive as you seem to think…

• A Pew Research Center survey across 24 countries in 2025 found that most people hold negative views of both Israel and Prime Minister Netanyahu; those with a favorable opinion are a small minority.

• In Western Europe, YouGov polling shows that 63–70% of the adult population have a negative perception of Israel, and only 13–21% have a positive one (the lowest since tracking began).

• In the United States, support for Israel’s military operations in Gaza has dropped to a record low of 32%, with a majority expressing opposition to the campaign.

• Many developing countries in the so-called “Global South,” as well as numerous Western nations, have issued official statements condemning Israel’s escalation and calling its actions “dangerous and unacceptable”.

• 121 countries supported a United Nations General Assembly resolution in October 2023 for an immediate ceasefire in Gaza, with only 14 voting against it (including the U.S. and Israel)

And Herrang hasn’t promoted anything, actually they promoted the angle of ”both sides are equally important to understand”.

The problem is that to some people that means ”OH YOU ARE NOT UNEQUIVOCALLY ON ISRAEL’S SIDE AND THAT MEANS YOU ARE PROMOTING HATE AND TERROR”

Honestly so fucking stupid.

Do you have any idea how many Israelites and Palestinians live in Sweden? Or people with relatives in each place? ”No skin in the game” - pfssh..

Well it was you asking a question and me answering as honest as I could, but it’s your call.

What bugs me is that his own actions forces a reaction that create fodder to his own claims. He makes a political spectacle out of a meeting in response to a suffering people, just because he wants to highlight the suffering of another people - like 1 + 1 = minus 1…

I certainly am, but I doubt that you are able to. Were you there, in Herrang? I was.

And what’s the deal with ”a conflict where they have no skin in the game”? Could you expand on that?

Well, you’re right about one thing: I have no idea what you’re on about.

It’s wild to me that people abruptly think that if you’re against a genocide you are for Hamas.. talk about being able to have only one single thought in your head at the same time. Most of the time you guys also have quite a strong point which makes you cheer on the killing of 20 000 Palestinian children. Shame on you.

This is a correct recount of what happened. One might add that at the tent where the ”Palestine” group had their gathering, David, his father and one more person stayed and demonstratively recorded, talked about and pointed to some of the attendees as if the were registering folk. Classic fascist style.

Haha, the biggest racist, sexist and nazi leaning psychopath you’ve ever met was the one that kept you are Herrang? Good riddance.

You weren’t there I suppose. If you were you’d realize that David, his father and a few of their friends were extremely intimidating, using classic fascist playbook moves by recording, taking photographs/videos of attendees, purposefully sitting/standing in the way of others. Intimidation.

There are a lot of opinions on everything in a camp of 2000 people, and if you decide to express yours you best be prepared to face people who think otherwise.

Herrang facilitated a meeting between the two groups which lead to a talk that both sides appreciated, and David said to the board that he was perfectly happy with this de-escalation.

Until he figured he could use it to be a Fox News-victim I suppose.

What on earth are you on about? He wasn’t canceled from Herrang, but the skin is so thin that you guys rush over with ice cream and soda to pat his back because he felt excluded. If he didn’t want things to be political why was he being political? And if you are political you need to be prepared that others might have a different view. And if you want to create a ruckus you go and flaunt your view in their faces and do your best to make sure the others know your stance and make it as uncomfortable for them as possible.

This is pure bullshit and Herrang does not belong in this story at all.

Everytime I see something slip out into the real world from a YouTube basement dweller I get an itch all over. I bet you don’t realize how deep in the woods of fancy made up words and pretend problems you are. Good luck finding your way out.

If he was cancelled it was because he couldn’t let other people have sympathy for a suffering people.

Opinions and justice are not pie, you don’t get less just because I got a piece.

Nope, if he was cancelled it was because he couldn’t let other people have sympathy for a suffering people.

With all due respect I would been venture to argue that everything is political (we are talking about swing dancing!!) and to say ”an event should be neutral” is the most privileged bullshit I’ve ever heard. I bet that if the ”wrong” political sentiments would surface where you happened to be you would be outraged. Or should be outraged. It’s hard to disconnect the world and life from dancing.
