It supposed to take place today at DC (IIRC). Of course we all (myself included) support their right to free speech and marches, and we all hope that the hostages will be freed and all that stuff. That said.... I personally really can't support and/or fly the flag of a country (especially under the current Israeli government runs by Netanyahu) that's currently committing war crimes/ethnic cleansing against civilians under the guise of "self-defense". Worsen by the fact that our country is at least partially responsible (due to our unconditional support of Israel, and the fact that both parties are stauchly pro-Israel). ... Copied to Clipboard!

As long as the protest remains non violent, they have their right to freedom of speech. Likewise, everyone else has the right to respond as they see fit (outside of violence; I am meaning in terms of social consequences) to the people who choose to attend such a a vile rally.

I've listening to it with one ear, and watching it off an on.
It's their right. But what Israel is doing is wrong. This has nothing to do with Jewish people. This is about what the powers in Israel are doing. Killing 11,000+ Civilians is just not justified. As for the US Right Wing all of a sudden being pro-Jewish has more to do with trying to peel off some votes, and more cynically, providing more sales for the Arms industry. --- "Whatever the reason you're on Mars, I'm glad you're there, and I wish I was with you." ~Carl Sagan.

Imagine if this protest did turn violent, so the US govt responded by bombing the entire city in which the protest took placeBy Israel's standards (and by extension, by the protestors' standards) that would be absolutely fine.

Would look a lot better as a March against antisemitism It was a march against Anti Semitism. It was a march in support of Israel and in opposition to the rising rates of antisemitic behavior and rhetoric world wide. I will say it probably should have been a little bit more towards being against all forms of Hatred, and make it a point to stand against Islamaphobia too. I wasnt there, and had no had in organizing it, but thats what I would have done. https://www.youtube.com/live/Q1VRFRqogCQ?si=cFd6DdLz5KodM8VS --- My resolution - the next time the Eagles are in the Superbowl, I'm going!

I believe the vast majority mean well but there is definitely some antisemitism in part of these protests and some "pro-Palestinian" groups are just blatantly antisemitic. Its fucking mind blowing watching people not see that this exists. I see some activists and leftists freak out over universities banning SJP and calling that action racist but when you look at SJP social media accounts they literally praise Hamas and 10/7. --- "The soul in the darkness sins, but the real sinner is he who caused the darkness." - Victor Hugo ...

March for Israel to me feels like White Lives Matter. On paper it seems fine, but after you dig in, you realize that it's just nonsense to distract from more pressing needs.
Israel, especially in the US, has never been second fiddle. Ever. Not once. America has basically lifted Israel above nearly all other countries, despite them not really producing or exporting anything. Yet here they are, as a world power. They don't want people saying Free Palestine, so they do this. I could be cynical. --- Who cares if Bosa is racist? ... Copied to Clipboard!

That or going above and beyond to bob and weave around such criticism of the Israeli government or those who hide under "antisemitism" to justify autrocities against muslims. The Israeli government seems to given low key pass to killing more innocent people. It's talked about, but those autrocities are quickly deflected.... as we act like they are underdogs desperately in need of support to continue autrocities against civilians in the name of getting Hamas. ...

Protesting against antisemitism and showing support for the hostages to be freed is fine. It's still hard not to roll my eyes at it because I imagine most of it is just pure Israel fanboyism done by people who are fine with innocent Palestinians being murdered.

If support for Palestine are allowed to be called antisemitic, then support for Israel should be allowed to be called Islamophobic too. Support for Palestine isnt necessarily antisemitic. Support for Hamas is. One is a national identity that just so happens to have a claim to the same land that Israel does. The other is a terrorist organization whose sole purpose to exist is to murder Jews and wipe out the Jewish state. Nuance matters. Just like support for Israel isnt Islamaphobia, but support for Israeli expansion into the West Bank is. The problem is that damn chant. It really depends on what your interpretation of what it means. If you are calling two states living side by side freely, its not. If you are calling for one state called Palestine, which at the same time eliminates the national identity of Israelis and Jewish self determination in Israel, well then its a different story. Theres nothing wrong with wanting to improve the Palestinian condition as it pertains to their national sovereignty and basic human rights. Hell, there are a lot of Israelis who want the same thing. But if your solution to a situation that you believe to be ethnic cleansing is only more ethnic cleansing, well its the hypocrisy of your idea that shows who you really are. Because even if you are right, you cant call it a crime and then do it anyway. I really do not understand why you guys continue to try and oversimplify this to a black and white issue all the time. --- My resolution - the next time the Eagles are in the Superbowl, I'm going!
