The posters are propaganda. Nobody is going to find a missing Israeli child in the United States, which is where the posters were.
Removing propaganda that is being used as an excuse for genocide is a good thing, not exactly sure how you consider it stupid.
Good thing they were there to remove the posters of the kidnapped kids before those evil Jews could complete their genocide.
Seriously, the actions those people took literally had no effect apart from showing EXTREME disrespect to the families of those kids.
Right now, the state of Israel is showing a grave disrespect to the families of the victims. They even planted fake victim families amongst the real ones, who were there exclusively to excuse the actions of the IDF.
And unlike random people that are getting doxxed, the state of Israel is being given billions of dollars to perpetuate a genocide
This is whataboutism.
The actions of the Israeli state do not excuse the actions of private individiuals against Israelis.
Except the Israeli state is actively killing people, and private individuals are not. Your concern is entirely misplaced.
Tearing down posters sounds like a relatively civil response to putting up posters, unless you'd prefer things to keep escalating, which Israel does
TL;dr - Did you actually just allege 'crisis actors' played victim's families? That's not just wholly unsupported, it's also wholly offensive to most people, and certainly to those who have connections to any of the victims.
First, let me state for the record that the entire situation is positively out of control - especially in light of the recent comments from one of Israel's minor ministers. I don't disagree that it appears to be headed towards full-blown genocide. I don't disagree that the folks being killed in Gaza are NOT the ones responsible for the attack, nor connected to the same. We are entirely on the same page there.
What I take exception to, however, is your absolutely unsupported statement regarding 'planted fake victim families.' First, because if one is going to make an allegation that inflammatory, one should ensure clarity. Who are you alleging is fake? The victims? Their families? Both?
I make light of the word choice and clarity, not just because it matters, but because I find it exceptionally unlikely that you could support any of the statements your words 'could' convey. When some asshole killed numerous children in a school, a certain subset of the population whined about 'crisis actors' for some years afterwards. I've heard similar allegations in reference to victims of Hurricane Katrina, and even in reference to Uvalde.
All of them are pure garbage, which places your allegation on exceptionally unsteady footing - In the improbable event that you are able to support that allegation, I'll happily hear out whatever evidence you're able to present.
Until then, there is no need to peddle conspiracy theories, too-vague allegations, etc.
I think this sums it up nicely.
