maniacalmanicmaniaSnap protest: Support Pride in Protest's right to march at Mardi Gras
hitmyspotIt seems like there is a right to protest, but specifically calling out other parade attendees is not right.
Call out the actual genocide actors, Israel and the governments of Australia and USA (among others) for their complicity.
You can call out Zionism without targeting individuals. Mardi gras is a time for our community to come together, not divide. It’s inherently political as we have had to fight for our human rights and have also been historical victims of genocide and the Holocaust.
Just like I agree that police that are lgbtqi+ should be able to march, last year after the murder by a policeman.
You’re going to make a more effective and more public point by being in the parade than out of it. So instead of having a hissy fit and complaining about censorship, take action and follow the rules.
Do you think they would let any Zionist organisation march if they had posts calling for the subjugation of Palestinians? It’s the same rules. Be civil and call for change from the top, not the bottom.
I can’t imagine a more condescending and patronising reply to this post. FYI I didn’t downvote you for what it’s worth.

Calling out racism is always correct.

Oh, the old “social cohesion”. Which somehow always means anti-genocide activists just shutting up.
So instead of having a hissy fit
I don’t see how PiP had a “hissy fit”. The Mardi Gras CEO sprung this on them the day before the march, and in fact expelled PiP less than 12 after the email was sent. PiP didn’t take any action at all before they were expelled. The CEO is the one that chucked a fit.

So you think calling out racism and standing against genocide is equivalent to calling for racism and being in favour of genocide?
take action and follow the rules. … Be civil and call for change from the top, not the bottom.
If the 78ers had followed this advice, there would be no Mardi Gras. Truly, wherever you look, you will always find the “moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice”.
I think calling out racism is always welcome. I think calling out a Jewish organisation under the assumption all are Zionists is wrong.
There are also varying degrees of Zionism. So let’s not use the word like it’s equivalent to bigotry. Some Zionists believe genocide is justified. Some zionists believe that Israel should exist but don’t care where. Most are somewhere in the middle.
Are they protesting the labor marchers? No, they are not.

That is not what happened.

They’re not protesting any marchers. They criticised this group on their social media, where they also criticise the Labor party.
