The absolute gall to do this on the anniversary of the massacres hamas perpetrated on innocent people from every walk of life in Southern Israel, and to claim it’s actually about the ” Palestinian genocide” Israel is committing.
To say it’s disrespectful would be under selling it. To say its disgusting would be too kind. These rallies are for evil people who want to see more dead Jews.
This is plain to see as what these rallies actually are, parades of jew haters for jew haters by jew haters.

Even in my random Norwegian city they go completely mask off. “Al Aqsa Flood 1 year anniversary demonstration”. Hold memorials and demonstrations for the Palestinian victims all you want, this is obviously not it, Al Aqsa Flood is the attack itself, and so is the connotation of the exact date.
Many innocent Palestinians died October 8th, 9th, the rest fo the month, the rest of the year, are they not more important to commemorate than the death of Israelis?
Even if you’re pro Palestinian, October 7 is a major tragedy that kicked off a sequence of events that caused tens of thousands of deaths and pushed a two state solution a century into the future. This is bleak
Not a big fan of how articles are trying to portray this. These people aren’t gathering in support of hamas, they are gathering in support of a ceasefire, and also correlating it with October 7th is dumb because people go out and demonstrate globally every day to encourage their govts to support a ceasefire agreement.
Four years ago, there was a saying that you could see all over reddit: “if you have ten people at a table, and one of them is a Nazi. Then you have ten nazis.”
In the year since October 7th, that saying has been proven over and over again. The pro-Palestine protestors have at best tried to distance themselves from antisemitism, and at worst have embraced those who target Jews (not Israelis or Zionists) as comrades and openly marched side by side.
More then enough time has passed to try and prove me wrong about them, now I only hope that progressive figures will finally grow a spine and call this out until something is done.
