In reply to the discussion: Opinion NYT: Im Glad the Dyke March Banned Jewish Stars [View all]oberliner
(58,724 posts)53. That's a lie
The people expelled did not voice support for the policies of the Israeli government towards the Palestinians and did not disrupt chants.
Read their own account and those of witnesses. The only reason given for the expulsion (at the time) was the flag. The "disrupting chants" and other nonsense is something they added later and is not supported by any evidence.

If seeing a Jewish star "triggers" you, you've got serious problems with real life.

How anyone can NOT understand this is beyond comprehension. Anti-Zionism IS antisemitism.

This is pathetic. The leaders of the March should be fired or the March should be banned.

I guess it comes down to whether the organizers are lying or not. I wasn't there, so I don't know.

Jews are consistently marginalized, even by the left. We have a huge problem w/ antisemitism.

I'm a scholar on intersectionality. I don't need a lecture from you on the matter.

Criticizing a government is one thing, denying a country the right to exist is another.

American flags aren't welcome either. They're triggered by the flag of the country they're in.

Apparently, only two flags are triggers, American and Israeli (of which there were none).
