I believe it is a rally supporting Israel, to fight against anti-Semitism, and also a call to release the hostages.

It is a rally to call for the ethnic cleansing and genocide of the Palestinians people. And because they get $300B to do it, I guess they're pretty comfortable in their request.

No.
It’s a call to support Israel and to support Jews who can hold two things in their heads and hearts at once: Desire for Israelis to live in peace and security (and Jews there and elsewhere not to be exterminated as Hamas and their supporters would like) and an end to violence which also means an end to bombings in Gaza, humanitarian aid to people in Gaza, and return of hostages.

Many who I know attending want bombing to end, peace for Palestinians, statehood for Palestinians, peace for Israelis, they are critics of the Netanyahu government.

If you don’t want pro-Palestinians painted as terrorist loving Jew haters then don’t stereotype those attending a pro-Israel march.

I watched it live for some time and they are not calling for peace or a ceasefire. The tone is very nationalistic

senior member of Benjamin Netanyahu’s government said on Tuesday Gaza could not survive as an independent entity, and Palestinians there should agree to “voluntary emigration” and leave for other countries. The finance minister, Bezalel Smotrich, said: “I welcome the initiative of the voluntary emigration of Gaza Arabs to countries around the world. This is the right humanitarian solution for the residents of Gaza and the entire region after 75 years of refugees, poverty and danger. The state of Israel will no longer be able to accept the existence of an independent entity in Gaza.”


Does anyone think that point of the war is not ethnic cleansing, or to quote dcum posters ethnic cleansing of people who brought it on themselves?
I think Netanyahu knows that Gaza is bombed beyond repair

So he admitted that apartheid caused Gaza and is the goal. 75 years ago Israel forced refugees into Gaza and now it wants to force them out. If they don't leave voluntarily, what's the plan?

Israel drove the Palestinians to Gaza because they didn’t want that land and it never was part of greater Israel that had had Jewish ancestors , was never agreed to be part of Israel by UN

If Hamas didn’t intentionally infiltrate themselves within hospitals and kindergartens, and then attack israel causing them to respond, civilians in Gaza wouldn’t be impacted. This war is of Hamas’s design. You are just a little pawn in their game of PR chess. Wake up.

Now explain the settlers stealing land and killing Palestinians in the West Bank, or is a slower process of ethnic cleansing ok with you?

The rally isn’t to support Israel’s policy in the West Bank. It’s to call for the release of the 240 hostages Hamas took who are still trapped in Gaza, to condemn the extreme left embrace of Hamas, and to stand up against the rejection of Israel’s right to exist and anti-semitism that the “pro Palestinian activism” has unleashed around the world. If you can’t separate those things from political support of Israel’s right wing prime minister, you’re not worth having a dialogue with.

I have watched for a while.
Mostly students speaking up to this point. They express pride in their Judaism. They are also speaking to the antisemitism they have suffered.
I have heard at least 3 speakers talk about the hostages and how they need to be released.
Make that 4 speakers. Another one just spoke about it.

I respectfully disagree. There is no meaningful solution without also addressing Netanyahu and the settlers.

The world has not embraced Hamas, neither is anyone saying Israel should not exist and the antisemitism that you are referring to sounds like criticism of Israel.
The hostages are a good point, but what is it that the US government should do?

Sorry. You are so wrong re: the bolded.
We have seen march after march with very loud and very angry protesters calling for the end to Israel.
And, there has been plenty of antisemitism on this board alone not to mention what has been chanted at the "mostly peaceful" protests.
Stop your gaslighting.

One more thing.... when we see the flag of Hamas and the flag of ISIS (!) at some of these pro-Hamas rallies, I know which side I want to be on.

No one is embracing Hamas (other than Netanyahu, although he's probably changed his mind by now). What people are doing is distancing themselves from Israel. AIPAC is desperate to equate the two

I guess you were living under a rock during the Hamas massacre on Oct. 7? WOW.

Surely, no sane human being supports the Oct. 7 massacre of 1400 Israelis by Hamas.

But to then say, well, it's OK to kill ten times that many Palestinians--mostly civilians and the majority of them children--as "revenge" for the Oct. 7 massacre, is hypocritical and illogical.

An eye for an eye is one thing, but a thousand eyes for a single eye must strike most civilized humans as unjustified.

Honestly, I've never seen a protester or pro-Palestinian activist - here or anywhere - condemn the massacres on 10/7.

It tells me absolutely everything I need to know.

If the pro-Palestinian protestors wanted sympathy from the American public, they would be demanding three things:

1) Surrender by Hamas
2) Release of the hostages
3) Ceasefire

Until they do that, I don't care what they have to say.

The Palestinians demanding a ceasefire now, after the 10/7 massacre, would be like me sucker-punching a professional MMA fighter in the groin, them immediately demanding that he not be allowed to retaliate.

If supporting Palestinians equals supporting Hamas, then supporting Israel equals supporting Nazis because that’s exactly how Netanyahu is operating right now. Israelis are on a very thin ground as far as the world opinion goes.

At this point, I honestly doubt they care what the world thinks about them. And I can't blame them- much of the world, even in places like American academia, seems to be fine with Jews being massacred.

Well then, respectfully, there is also no solution without addressing Hamas and their terrorism. Which pro Palestinians have not been using their platform to condemn. They’ve been using their platform to rip American flags down on Veterans Day, and to hold posters calling for the annihilation of israel and Jews. How can there be a meaningful conversation about peace with those whose hatred for Israel and Jews seems stronger than their belief for a Palestinian state? How can there be a meaningful conversations are not calling for Hamas’s destruction?

And as bad as Netanyahu is, Hamas is in a different stratosphere of extremism- would you rather live under Hamas’s Gaza or netanyahu’s israel? I’m *extremely* critical of Netanyahu and agree he should go, but I know which place of the two id pick to live.

Families of those being held hostage will be speaking.
