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.

A senseless loss of Jewish life not mentioned was Israel's Hannibal Directive, killing their own people. Hamas and other Palestinians undoubtedly killed civilians on October 7th but we have no idea if they caused the majority of deaths or if Israel did. What's also not stated here is that October 7th was also Palestinians breaking out of their concentration camp and killing the guards of that concentration camp (security forces, armed settlers and military), and that is absolutely supported and respected by international law and morality.
