Activism NYC Dyke March Drama

The NYC Dyke March is being boycotted by many other organizations including Act Up NYC for putting out and subsequently deleting this statement. Thoughts?

Imma be real I don't really think this statement is bad at all, but I understand that others have read it as "all lives matter"-ing the genocide in Gaza. Would love to hear more takes.

If Jews are asking if they'll be safe at a marrch that is in solidarity with Palestine, it's because they believe being in solidarity with Palestine is anti-Semitic

this is the thing, actual die hard zionists are not gonna be appeased by this bcz it is still handedly pro palestine, but it may ease fears of less informed jews who r uncomfortable just bcz of all the narratives going around and their family influence.
