Great !
Why is there a fucking Israel Day Parade in NYC?
W h a t t h e f u c k ?
Judaism Day Parade, sure! Israel Day Parade? Fuck that!
Is there a "Canada Day" parade as well? That one would at least make sense given proximity.
Canaday. and i don't know but it's stupid and it shouldn't be.
Canadian pride ✅
Canada pride 🚩🚩🚩
A can a day keeps the fascist away?
Not to be confused with Cannaday.
Fuck yeah!
Having a parade for a country that has allowed itself to become what Israel has become does not make any sense.
Hey now. Don't you diss my bro Israel "IZ" Kamakawiwoʻole, author of hit song "Sonewhere over the Rainbow"
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?
I like how people here have this delusional idea that sovereign legitimacy is based on morality rather than hard power. Countries exist solely because they have the means to exclusively control the territory they occupy. Sovereignty is not given, but taken. It's why the Taliban rules Afghanistan however they want even though they have no legitimacy in the world.
If morality was the basis of sovereignty, we would have like maybe a dozen countries who would be worthy of being soverign.
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.
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.
Wouldn't super Israel-first politicians even probably call out sick for an Israel parade?
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
This. "Hey, instead of parading for the ethnicity that has been victim of discrimination and genocide for millenia, let's parade for the white colonizers larping as said ethnicity to gain Victim Points™!"
I am genuinely curious who you believe is ethnically Jewish if Israel is white colonizers pretending to be Jewish? I hear somewhat frequently that there aren't "real" Jews anymore because intermixing with Europeans (and other ethnicities) diluted their bloodline too much, and it feels not only doublethinky but almost eugenicist.
I think the bottom line is Israel is either a theocracy first or a eugenics project first.
Stuff like this shows in the past, at least, it was leaning toward the latter: https://www.christiancentury.org/news/african-hebrew-israelites-finally-see-legal-victory-against-israel-s-deportation-threats
israel no longer deserves any celebratory recognition. they have overstepped any justification they had in avenging the hamas raid
They never deserved it. The Israel project has been stealing land from Palestinians since the late 1800s. It was only during / after WW2 that they began to receive co-signs from western governments, hence the misnomer that Israel was founded as a response to WW2.
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.
Zionists have been colonizing Palestine since the late 1800s; the only difference between that and its so-called inception in the 40s are aid and recognition from western governments.

Its an American sponsored colony.
