How soon will someone complaining about "greedy Jews" will call him an antisemite for it?
Israel is a uniquely evil entity that has lost its legitimacy as a nation state. Why on Earth would any sane human go to a parade for it?
Well, it's a way for the population of Israel's vassal state to show their love for their sovereign.
lost its legitimacy
I'm genuinely curious to know at what point in history you think it had legitimacy.
Wouldn't super Israel-first politicians even probably call out sick for an Israel parade?
Israel can go fuck themselves.
Fuck isreal
Israel has no right to exist
Let alone a fucking parade
Israel should be dissolved and returned to the Palestinians. It's Palestine.
The current population of wrongfully placed settlers can fuck off and move somewhere else.
Y'all can figure it out, after all you're the fiercest and most adaptive people in the world, right?
Not to mention you're narcissistic enough to believe you're chosen by God over all other human beings on Earth.
Judaism is a fascinating faith but Zionism and by extension the entire failed experiment that has been known as Israel is just a disgusting warped off shoot that needs to be extinguished.
If there is a "Jewish day Parade" I'll be there, but specifically Israel is super problematic; don't know how any sane person can support anymore
israel no longer deserves any celebratory recognition. they have overstepped any justification they had in avenging the hamas raid
They were like this as far back as the 1960s. We've always known.
Since its very inception. I.e., the 40s. And before its inception the people that were fighting for even getting Israel off the ground were bombing places, and organizing massacres of civilians.
Independent reporters say there is ample proof the attack was a false-flag. The IDF is full of psychotic assholes, It wouldn't surprise me a bit that they'd kill their own people.
A lot of those reports are nonsense. There's solid evidence that several dozen, maybe a hundred at most, people were killed by friendly fire, which tends to get exaggerated to "every single victim at the Nova festival was killed by helicopter strafing under the Hannibal Directive." Neither side anticipated how easy the siege would be to break, and the resulting undisciplined bloodbath isn't out of line with similar anticolonial revolts throughout history. I don't think there's any reason to jump to conspiracy theories to explain the results of the Israeli government getting lost in its militaristic hubris and dehumanization of Palestinians.
Israel was always a genocidal project, that’s what settler-colonialism is.
There's no more successful White Supremacist project in the World, which is probably why it's so beloved by most of Europe's as well as the American political classes.
What do you mean "no longer"? The whole country is founded on the ethnic cleansing of 700000 Palestinians. They were massacring entire villages in the 40s! When in the fuck was that ever deserving of a fucking parade? What the fuck?
https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide
Read this article. This is what Israeli genocide scholars had to say about the genocide less than a week after october 7th. It was already clear then and there that what Israel was doing was a genocide. Was the genocide justified then? When did it stop being justified? Two months later when South Africa launched its ICJ court case against Israel for committing a genocide, complete with about 100 pages of damning evidence of what Israel had been doing for the past two months? From when to when do you, personally, think the genocide was justified?
Based
As a non new yorker, why is there a israel day parade in the first place?
Its an American sponsored colony.
IIRC there's either more Jews in NYC than in Israel, or it's the place with most jew (except Israel). So it kinda makes sense. Just like there's a lot of Cubans in Miami. They probably have cuba-related parties too.
But judaism =/= zionism. Norman Finkelstein lives in New York. I assure you he also does not attend this parade.
Also there is literally an entire section within Judaism who believe for religious reasons that Israel should not exist.
I know. But just based on numbers, if there are a lot of Jewish people, there's probably lots of Zionists.
Even if just 10% of NYC Jews are Zionists, that's a lot of Zionists.
Does NYC organise parades for the Democratic Party or the Republican Party?
Because that would be the equivalent of organising parades to celebreate Zionism because there's a lot of Zionists in NYC.
Fair point, I understand and agree. But I'm also never ever going to pass up on an opportunity to make the distinction between zionism and judaism explicit.
Are they celebrating stealing land from and murdering the neighbors?
Probably all the raping of people from "vermin" etnicities.
It's very much an Israeli thing to do - they've had several demonstrations over there defending their right to do it and have even paraded on TV and celebrated various such rapists.
Yes
They didn't call it the "America day parade"
Surely the Israel-American Brotherhood is founded on the shared national trait of being a country created and grown by white colonialists stealing the land and mass murdering the people who lived there before.
I think the funniest part of this is I wandered over to the conservative areas of the internet to see the reaction and they're fighting each other on how to feel about this. They all hate Mamdani, but half are as anti-Israel and "America first" that they're asking why there's an Israel Day parade and screaming at the pro-Israel groups that are mad at Mamdani for not going.
If nothing else, him doing this has given a fun show.
TBF the lunatics have a point - why the fuck is there an Israel day?! Not American so first I've heard of this.
It's just an NYC thing, not American, as they have one of the densest Jewish populations in the US. I'd never heard of it either
I never knew of the existence of an "Isreal Day" parade. Is there any other country focused parades out there? I don't recall there being a British Day parade or Mexico day parade.
NYC loves its parades. There's the Puerto Rican day parade for one, that one is pretty big. I wouldn't look too much into that aspect of it.
Of course, fuck Israel nevertheless
Edit: there's so many that Futurama made a joke about it
this will really piss off a bunch of white redneck evangelicals that use israel to validate their death wish on society
Who don't live in, have never been to, and are to scared to visit the city.
And likely have some not very nice things to say about the Jewish people.
I think they want them all in Jerusalem when the Bible’s Armageddon happens.
What are you going to tell me about this ANTI SEMITE next? He DOESNT Condone Raping Children? SHAMEFUL!
-NY Times!
Good, im proud of him.
Promises made, promises kept.
