I’ve had people laugh. Others just stare. One or two people murmured some kind of critical response that I couldn’t hear. I find it strange and just wanted to know if this is an ordinary experience. It’s rare for someone to agree. I live in a rich white area.

Mostly neutral to positive.

Negative reactions, for myself and others I know, are generally from older wide peepo who don’t actually know what “free Palestine” means or anything about it, but just know that those “woke SJW college students” are protesting over it so they just reflexively lash out without even knowing what they’re lashing out about.
