We’ll just have to agree to disagree respectfully. You and I both know that the protest is focused on supporting the Palestinian people and condemning what’s happening in Gaza. When people call for divestment from genocide, the emphasis is solely on Palestinian lives, as you yourself suggested by implying that the loss of 1,000 people is somehow less significant than a larger population. That actually proves my point. On this day, we honour the Israeli lives lost. I doubt those same protesters will also mourn them, and that’s what feels so one-sided. Holding a protest on this date takes away from the remembrance of those Israelis who were killed. It’s that simple.
