I prefer to err on the side of supporting the right to protest, and I'm generally consistent. So, I support these protesters' right to protest as they did. But man, that shit is fuuuuucked up, though. 👀

Just because I support your right to protest doesn't mean I think you're a good person. That shit is... really really not ok.

"A pro-#Palestinian #demonstration in the northern #Swedish city of #Umeå has sparked widespread outrage after featuring a controversial display depicting hanged mannequins dressed in striped #concentrationcamp uniforms, complete with yellow stars and prisoner numbers, evoking imagery from the #Holocaust.

The mannequins were suspended from #gallows beneath a banner in Swedish that read: “#Genocide is genocide is genocide.” #Socialmedia images from the #protest also show a figure wearing a keffiyeh holding a baby doll, while Palestinian flags were displayed beside the gallows."

FYI ynet sucks but what'cha gonna do, amirite?

ynetnews · Holocaust-themed display at Swedish pro-Palestinian protest sparks outrage, legal scrutinyBy Itamar Eichner

Vacation trip day 4 spent in #Umeå, which was our favorite stop so far. The sunny weather helped, of course, but the city just felt very lively.. which was nice after hiding from rain the day before.

Ser ett av #Umeå's mest talangfulla (och definitivt ett av de konstigaste) band live. "Sarcophagus Now" spelar progressiv rock med inslag av, uh, jazz, samba, och gudvetvad mer. Udda taktarter är det åtminstone, och alltid grymt tight.

Come work with me and my colleagues for a little while!

Ikväll hade jag tänkt att sätta mig ner med elbasen och försöka koppla bort jobbtankarna.

Istället sitter jag nu på en parkering och väntar på att en lägenhetsvisning ska starta. Min kära mor letar bostad här i #Umeå, och ibland går det visst snabbt i svängarna när lediga bostäder dyker upp.

Nåväl. På med inspektionshatten så kör vi!
