I’m not going either, and most Jewish friends have other plans. I would guess attendance is dwindling and increasingly old these past years.
Fuck Israhell
I think the Leahy laws state its unlawful for the US government to in any way condone of support any country committing genocide. The parade should be stopped.
Gotta add a ! before the []()
Good
The fact that an illegitimate state has an annual celebration parade in another county is fucked
Fuck Israel and fuck Zionists
i get that if a city has a significant diaspora population with a certain heritage, the diaspora celebrating their culture isn’t a bad thing.
but that isn’t the case with Zionism, there’s lots of Jews in NY and they do celebrate their culture, but that’s not the same as celebrations a genocidal nation.
They celebrste a foreign country involved in genocide and colonization. This has nothing to do with jewish culture.
100% agree. just wanted to say that diaspora celebrating their heritage is a normal and a good thing.
But Zionism isn’t that. Especially considering that the Jewish communities in NY were built by the non Zionist jews who fled Europe, while the Zionists went to destroy Palestine.
Your comment is irelevant to the topic because this post is about israel parade day not judaism parade day. They can celebrate the culture in International Jewish Day on August 2nd

was replying to that, Just saying that celebrating another country isn’t necessarily bad, an outward claim like that can be racist. Zionism bad. but I’m afraid of statements that might be racist dogwhistles.
Celebrating a genocidal state is never s good thing. It is like celebrating Nazi germany. Like I said there is multiple real jewish culture events
I think we’re accidentally stuck in a loop where we’re both in agreement.
Fuck zionism in all of it’s forms, it shouldn’t get parades.
I just wanted to add a caveat that it is 100% ok to celebrate the cultural heritage of communities in your city. And “Israel” isn’t one of those.
Because the original statement could be misconstrued into a xenophobic statement. I assume it wasn’t, but still, that should be said.
And again, FUCK ZIONISM. Fuck it with a syphilitic cactus. Just got banned from a community for saying Fuck zionism in a more colorful language.
Personal, I’m dedicating so much of my energy fighting zionism, I’m literally building a local Bund revival, as well as weekly protests and help organize Palestinian events. So please, don’t assume I’m a zionist.
They have a permit for that?
