    Also “Stop Killing Children” or “Demand a Ceasefire Now” aren’t “pro-Palestinian” messages, they’re anti-killing messages.

    Just because the children being killed happen to be Palestinian doesn’t make that a pro-Palestinian message. It can be a general message that is applicable to whoever’s children happen to be getting killed right now.

    If someone says “stop the attacks on civilians now”, how do you even know if they’re talking about Gaza, Ukraine or both?

      I’d argue that if they put up a Palestinian flag, it’s clear that Palestine is being referred to.

      In principle, though, I agree with your first point

        Sure, they’re referring to Palestine in this case. But, it doesn’t necessarily mean that they’re fully “pro-Palestine”. They’re undoubtedly pro Palestinian kids. But, that doesn’t mean that they side with Palestine over Israel in the general case.
