Neither of those are comparable if you look at the contents of the events...or how they started....or even just the names.
IDO5 isn't a celebration of Israeli culture. Its purpose is to celebrate the country/government. The theme of this parade is "Proud Americans, Proud Zionists"
Wow you ain’t kiddin. https://zoa.org/events/parade/
Pretty weird, right? It's not about something commemorative, it's literally a propaganda parade.
Imagine St. Patrick's Day parades where they push the idea that Ireland should conquer the British isles
I’m listening…
/s
I didn't say they were directly comparable or perfect analogues. I even pointed out some of the differences.
I just said let's not make incorrect statements that we don't celebrate other nations' holidays. Not sure what the issue with trying to shore up our logic a little bit is, but if you want to go on with points that are easily debunked when a slight change of phrasing would make it more seaworthy, then go ahead, just don't be surprised when zionists start poking holes in your logic and dismissing your arguments.
Take your bullshit Mossad Propaganda somewhere else.
As far as I'm concerned, Israel is lucky they haven't been carpet bombed back into the Biblical days they want to live in.
My bullshit Mossad propaganda:
Literally.
Forget it, Jake. It’s Tankietown.
Ain't that just the truth. Can't have a serious discussion here.
Have you tried NOT pimping for child-murdering zionists?
Quiet, you.
Whoever you support, are you aware that they all murder children? Repeatedly? For decades?
Check it out.
Here's where you charge me with whataboutism while whatabouting
p.s. look up "pimping"
You’re barking up the wrong tree bud
Which was not what OP said in the first place.
What does this mean to you:
It means exactly what it says. Do you see the word holiday in that quote?
What days do parades happen on?
The two holidays I mentioned both involve parades.
Are you this dense, or just being disingenuous?
A parade is a celebration. They can happen on holidays but that's not a requirement. For example, a jazz funeral often includes a parade.
At this point, I have to assume you're either trolling or just kind of dumb. Either way, I'm done and I hope you eat something that gives you diarrhea.
Yeah, and I pointed out two parades that are on holidays. What's your point?
At this rate it seems you're the one being either dumb or disingenuous. And I hope your ill-will turns around and bites you twice as hard as you wish it on me.
Ohhhh he's gonna get double diarrhea!!
That's almost as bad as triple diarrhea!!!
