specifically calling out other parade attendees is not right.
Calling out racism is always correct.
Mardi gras is a time for our community to come together, not divide.
Oh, the old “social cohesion”. Which somehow always means anti-genocide activists just shutting up.
So instead of having a hissy fit
I don’t see how PiP had a “hissy fit”. The Mardi Gras CEO sprung this on them the day before the march, and in fact expelled PiP less than 12 after the email was sent. PiP didn’t take any action at all before they were expelled. The CEO is the one that chucked a fit.
Do you think they would let any Zionist organisation march if they had posts calling for the subjugation of Palestinians? It’s the same rules.
So you think calling out racism and standing against genocide is equivalent to calling for racism and being in favour of genocide?
take action and follow the rules. … Be civil and call for change from the top, not the bottom.
If the 78ers had followed this advice, there would be no Mardi Gras. Truly, wherever you look, you will always find the “moderate who is more devoted to ‘order’ than to justice”.
I think calling out racism is always welcome. I think calling out a Jewish organisation under the assumption all are Zionists is wrong.
There are also varying degrees of Zionism. So let’s not use the word like it’s equivalent to bigotry. Some Zionists believe genocide is justified. Some zionists believe that Israel should exist but don’t care where. Most are somewhere in the middle.
Are they protesting the labor marchers? No, they are not.

That is not what happened.
They’re not protesting any marchers. They criticised this group on their social media, where they also criticise the Labor party.
