It reminds me of when I went to a Matisyahu concert and someone held up the Israeli flag. He grabbed it out of their hands and threw it to the ground while the band played a reprise of One Day But yeah, a rainbow flag with the Star of David can't be called an Israeli flag this just goes to show even progressives can be ignorant Whimsical bitch Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not the time or the place to discuss Israel-Palestine relations. just like how in Toronto, BLM had the Toronto police banned from having their traditional float. And then after all that, BLM still didn't participate. Funny how other minorities always have to push their agenda when it's not about them instead of being unequivocally supportive of other subjugated groups. This so much, if they want to make a statement at the march, ok, fine, but don't expect anyone will agree with it, pride is not the place, it's completely out topic Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If they were just gay jews sure, but this is a political move, and it's obviously working. Good for Israel I guess. There were no Israel flags.

I always thought it's a derogatory word for lesbian, so seeing this made me curious. It's one of those terms that LGBT community is trying to reclaim like the word fag or even queer which is now accepted as a sexual identity Edit: somebody already answer this but yes Uh Red Wine...

No one kicks out Arabs being patriotic to their countries either The organizers of this particular march, whether you agree with their politics or not (I wouldn't kick them out for expressing a pro-Israel viewpoint in the Israel-Palestine conflict but I don't hold especially strong views one way or the other) made it clear that they did not want Zionist at this event. Well-known Zionist go, proclaim their Zionist viewpoints, and then claim they were kicked out because of antisemitism. They clearly did it for political reasons. I know that you are the resident GGD Zionist, so of course you wouldn't offer the other side, but I will because I don't care for politics.

I'm not sure we can expect two groups who passionately hold such polar opposite views to come together anytime soon though. Certainly not without big shifts in ideologies, which will take generations. It would be great if they come together but tactics like those employed in this case, to come to an event where they knew their political views were not welcome, and then claim discrimination, are not going to repair rifts any time soon.

I learned that people can surprise you when you give them the opportunity, so far no one really gave this opportunity, all they did is just to take a side and ban each other and act like they other is not existing.. There are many organization of Zionist and Palestinians and it's amazing to see that, if you have time, google about them, there's even one for parents who lost their kids in the conflict and it doesn't matter if the person was a soldier or a citizen, all welcomed.. So it is possible.. just start the talking.. So sploosh your juice all over me you Riverboy Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
