Also beware, these apparently have razor blades inside of them do anyone who tries to take them off gets injured.

these are just bait tbh, don't be a photo op
What do you mean by being a photo?
Yes, when you take these down, they will use this as ammunition to legitimize their deranged claims of antisemitism, etc about people who are opposed to genocide.
Even if they don't see you doing it, they will make videos about how they posted a sign and then it was removed. They don't need to catch you to pretend that they are martyrs.
Is it more harmful to leave propaganda around though?
I'd rather not take the risk of giving them a viral photo op, not a lot of people are gonna read that paper anyway.
it's not like there's any constructive use for them anyway. HAVE YOU SEEN THIS PERSON? CALL 1800-TIPLINE NOW
Not sure. My first instinct is also to take them down, but I figure videos and pictures that can be used as much more damaging and lasting forms of propaganda are something I shouldn't give them the opportunity to gather from me.
It's fucking dumb, but it's the game that's played and its successfully used to demonize leftists.
is the propaganda a swastika or a child. One of these is socially appropriate to remove
i don't think it's that big a deal. let them work themselves up into a lather.
Someone likely has a camera pointed at the poster.
In a public park?
It's the image of it, the optics let's say
Yes. Think about it. If you’re willing to put razor blades in it, taking a person’s photo in public is not exactly beyond them.
But are they going to be vigilating them 24/7?
Definitely not 24/7. But it’s gonna be hard to spot them unless they’re trying to provoke you
a photo op/opportunity
That opposition to the zionist entity is being misdirected toward ostensibly 'peaceful' claims of releasing prisoners should be noted. Shout and tear down islamophobic propaganda yes, but all you're doing here is pulling down posters of kidnapped kids, which is exactly what the posters are designed to do.
