Ethics Alarms 
While that DOES seem to be a general position of the Left at this time, I’d say it’s never fair to put words in somebody else’s mouth. This reminds me of a pair of reverse psychology pro-gun memes that had the logo of a gun control organization on them, implying that telling people not defend themselves was the gun control organization’s actual position. I think there was a post here on it a while back but I couldn’t find it again.
Well, that looks pretty real, and it would not surprise me to see it in the yard of some of the people I know. Frankly, I would encourage it. If someone is an anti-semite, I’d just as soon know about it, although, if someone has the original of this sign in their yard you already know whoever is in the house is a woke idiot.
It’s frankly stupid to put up a sign like this, because if you do, you are advertising your views to the whole world. You are also inviting conflict. Black lives matter are not the only group who can get a group of people together and show up on your doorstep to confront you. They are also not the only group who could kick in your door and destroy every piece of bric-a-brac you have in your living room and mess you up. Personally, I have no problem with somebody who confronts someone who displays a sign like this and beats the tobacco juice out of him. The idea that terrorism was okay died in the United States on 9/11. If you are saying that this assault and mass murder was justified, that’s just as bad as saying 9/11 was justified or other acts of terror and mass murder were justified. If you believe that, you are what the Soviets once called a useful idiot, apologizing for the enemy and carrying water for him.
I wonder how the owners of the sign would react if swastikas were painted on their house. The Nazi party convinced far too many that Jews were the problem 85 years ago. We cannot allow those ideas to take root again and we should identify every person espousing such ideas as Nazis.
My fault: the sign is fake, and I found it as a meme, not as a genuine photo. I’ve changed the title to make that clearer: I thought it was obvious that the altered sign was a pointed progressive-tweaking shot. It’s Poe’s Law again: I suppose it’s too easy to believe that some of those fatuous, grandstanding fools who display the original sign would display that one too.
My apologies.
Glad to know it was fake. However, I believe the responses so far have been a reasonable response to such a sign.
I thought it might be photoshopped. The last line is spaced closer to the one above it, and not quite level.
It does follow the warped logical sequence!
Generally, memes are dumb.
This one is no exception.
Without trying to reiterate or recreate the takedown on these signs that was done here, “Hamas was justified” is a little bit different.
It is not a platitude like Love is Love. It is not a linguistic sleight of hand like the immigrant one or the woman one.
Most of the original statements don’t admit of disagreement (unless you are a hateful, stupid bigot). The Palestinian-Israeli conflict is one about which people can have differences of opinion and the opinion expressed here is not like the tautological Love is Love or simplistic Science is Real.
If I were to write this meme, I would say something like “Palestinians are People.”
