I am Jewish. I am an anti-Zionist. I am always and forever pro-Palestine.
My grandmother was born in Palestine before Israel existed. My grandmother, who died less than a decade ago (in her 70s) was already older than the settler colonial state of Israel. Judaism exists without Zionism. Zionism goes against the Jewish religion. Zionism is white supremacy.
From the river to the sea Palestine WILL BE FREE

Touma and Taichi holding hands in Ao no Flag is a recurring motif that appears in chapters 17, 42, 48, and 54. As elaborated on later in the series, in elementary school they used to hold hands all the time because the world was less scary together and it was comforting to have a friend along for their adventures. But somewhere along the way Touma feels the pressure of the double standard of gendered expectations that holding hands is a "girl thing". The childhood comfort of holding hands is paralleled in the hospital scene when Touma asks to hold Taichi's hand because he's scared. Watching the baseball game Touma confronts the reality that his baseball dream is over, his dream career will never happen because he got hit by a car pushing Taichi out of the way. The game is in the 9th inning and their school is losing, because Touma couldn't play. Touma is watching his dreams die and Taichi knows this, Taichi still blames himself for Touma's injury, and what can he do but offer his hand; and that's enough for Touma feeling that Taichi is there and safe.
In the flashback in chapter 48 we see Taichi reaching out for Touma's hand when they run away together following the death of Touma's parents and both brothers struggling to cope with the loss of their parents. In chapter 54 this act of reaching out and holding hand is how the manga reveals that Touma is Taichi's husband. Chapter 48 which is from Touma's perspective foreshadows that he is the POV character for the final chapter. Both chapters heavily parallel each other. In both chapters we literally see the world through Touma's eyes; we never see his face, reactions, nor do we hear what he says, all we see and hear are the people around him. In the key scene in both chapter, Taichi reaches out to Touma and takes his hand. While chapter 17 represents a tumultuous time in their relationship with them trying to rekindle their friendship after years of Taichi distancing himself because he feels unworthy, chapters 48 and 54 show some if not the strongest points in their relationship.

I have so many thoughts about each of them, but I can't put them into words. I just love them so much. I just love characters that defend importance of platonic love, especially in romance genre. I just love characters calling out bullshit of "you can't be close friends with opposite sex". I just love them so much
I wanted this post to be funny haha meme, but I'm not normal about them
