The Israel Parade has never been neutral. It’s never been a parade that is about NYCs rich Jewish heritage. I went to my first Jewish protest at the parade over 20 years ago and did so every year for years, usually alongside beloved Palestinian allies. Here’s a couple different year flyers. 1/2
Flyer text
WE SALUTE...
DEMOCRACY. That's why we insist upon the right of all people living between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean
Sea to decide their future.
JEWISH TRADITION. That's why we oppose the IDF's policy of cutting down Palestinian olive trees: “Even if you are at war with a city…you must not destroy its trees” (Deuteronomy
20:19-20).
CONNECTION TO HOME. That's why we work for the right of Palestinian refugees who lost their homes in the 1948 war to
return to available land in Israel or be fairly restituted.
SAFETY THROUGH PROSPERITY. That's why we’re pained by Israel's efforts to undermine a stable Palestinian economy by
denying farmers access to their land and water.
JEWISH AND HUMAN SURVIVAL. That's why we seek the end of the Occupation. Rami Elhanan, a Jewish Israeli whose
14-year old daughter Smadar was killed in a suicide bombing, said: “Our daughter was killed because of the terror of the Israeli
occupation. Every innocent victim on both sides is a victim of
the occupation. The occupation is the cancer feeding Palestinian
terror.”

Important context here: when Peter Thiel and David Sacks began their war on diversity as undergrads at Stanford, thirty years ago, the very first tactic they adopted was to normalize slurs that had already been stigmatized out of mainstream society. This return of these hateful terms was a key goal.
