Discussion At a Jewish Wedding…

I’m currently outside of the wedding venue. I had to step out because they handed out little Israeli flags on the dance floor as party favors. The utter disregard and nonchalance these people display when celebrating a genocidal nation is baffling. It made me so physically ill and upset that I had to step out. Maybe I’m dramatic or I drank too much but it brought me to tears. There are real, innocent people dying and these people are celebrating their killers at some random party and for what?

This is horrible. I'd suggest you leave. If I was you, and since I'm petty and loud, I'd throw the flag in the trash and make sure multiple people can see me do that and walk out lol. It's important we make people like these uncomfortable.

Have no way to leave even if I wanted go. Came with my family and I’m related to one of the couple.

I'm so sorry :( Maybe sit away from the scene and keep yourself busy on your phone and not participate as a form of silent protest.

Luckily we’re all seated for dinner. I stayed away from the dance floor for the most part when that was going on. It’s quieted down now but the place, my table included, is covered in little Israeli flags. I’m in the US and I’d find it weird to have US flags at your wedding, let alone Israeli ones.

It is VERY odd behaviour but that's zionists for you.

And yet zionists screech, "Why do antizionist protesters wave Palestinian flags at protests? Why no American flags?"
