MODERATORS
 

At least 206 Jewish anti-Israel protesters were arrested Monday after hundreds rushed the New York Stock Exchange and staged a sit-in outside the Manhattan landmark, police said.

Scores of pro-Palestinian protesters wearing red shirts stormed toward the building on Broad Street in Lower Manhattan — then chained themselves to the doors just before the stock market’s opening bell at 9:30 a.m., footage shows.

A handful of demonstrators, who hail from the Jewish Voices for Peace group, could be seen removing their jackets as they set up shop outside the building — jackets they wore in a possible bid to conceal their anti-Israel attire and thwart any attempt to stop them ahead of time.

No. No it does not. I live in Indiana. I was born here. I have an emotional attachment to it.

If Canada decided to invade and turn this into Upper Ontario, because Canadian names are weird, I not only wouldn't give a shit, I'd welcome the universal healthcare.

Are you advocating for Israel to annex the West Bank so Palestinians get better healthcare?

[–] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

No. And the people who claim they have an emotional attachment to Israel are not necessarily advocating for that either. A point you now seem to be intentionally missing.

[–] bestboyfriendintheworld@sh.itjust.works 1 points 6 hours ago (1 children)

Plenty of Zionists want a two state solution and for Israel to stop the occupation in the West Bank.

That isn't even relevant to the 'emotional attachment' thing. You're just bringing up irrelevancies because you want Jew to equal Israeli and vice-versa.

They’re of course not equal, but there’s a relationship.

Lots if Israelis and Zionists don’t agree with Netanyahu‘s policies.

How kind of you to finally acknowledge that after two days of "Jews support Israel and this shitty poll that doesn't prove that proves it."

Too bad you couldn't have just come in here and congratulated the Jewish members JVFP that were just arrested for this work of activism and decided to make this whole thing an attack on Jews instead.

Of course, you have yet to even acknowledge this activism despite that the fact that they STORMED THE NEW YORK STOCK EXCHANGE.

Not good enough for you to even acknowledge in a post about that activism apparently.

I never said there’s no protest or it didn’t happen. Stop making up stuff.

That is not what I said. Please re-read what I wrote:

You still have not acknowledged what they did, let alone suggested that they did a good thing.
