Support Palestine #6504

Open CCCoralie opened 11 months ago

Is it possible to put a banner supporting Palestine since it's under attack now from Isreal and people are dying

I want to raise people's awareness about the Palestinian case

Palestine is undergoing a genocide massacre

This appears to be a duplicate of #4877, which has been open since Aug 5 of 2022 with mostly positive reactions, and I'm wondering if there's enough support to get a PR approved to add this banner?

I know especially in the imperial core we've been exposed to what's been happening in the Ukraine through a sympathetic lens, and that what's been happening in Palestine has been continually downplayed with passive language, victim blaming, disinformation, etc. But surely the horrors of the past 90 days haven't gone unnoticed, especially since there's an abundance of live footage from reporters on the ground there on social media, and major news outlets (e.g. CNN) have recently done some actual reporting on the situation.

I also this issue is contentious due to strong attachments to both long held beliefs and exposure to disinformation from sources that should be trust worthy. I also know people are being censored on social media platforms owned by Meta for covering this issue. So I'm not sure where the React team stands on this, or if they're bound by Meta politics or policy, but if there can be a banner in support of the people of Ukraine then should there not also be one in support of the people of Palestine?

(I'm also happy to provide more references if that'd be helpful.)
