#JewishVoiceForPeace is a nuisance and has a LONG history of stunts to draw attention to themselves. For example ➡️ https://mastodon.social/@rameshgupta/111722584731667799

Who funds their coordinated uniforms for staged #protests? Grassroots #protesters don’t wear professionally designed uniforms

@rameshgupta @igd_news So what you are saying is that, as a protest group, they are well organised and effective. Which is just how a protest group should be. I’m not sure what kind of protests you’ve been to but many in Europe are just like that. A protest should stand out and be a nuisance.

I live in a mega city where I see organized protests on a weekly basis, if not more frequently — on issues large and small

I see hundreds of organized protests at the grassroots level as well as well-funded ones with floats and megaphones. I see posters, signs, banners

I never see coordinated t-shirts of the kind I see at #BDS and #BDSMovement-affiliated protests. The only time I see uniformity is when protesters are wearing their organization’s uniforms

@rameshgupta @igd_news That does ‘t mean anything. I do!

@rameshgupta @igd_news In fact I have a t-shirt from a protest. We got about 100 printed up front!

@rameshgupta @igd_news Of course its easier for smaller protests or sit ins. The London Pro Gaza rally earlier this year had thousands and thousands and so t-shirts would have been a bit if an ask.
