A big part of my problem with at least some of these demonstrations is their chosen targets. Take the one in NYC outside the exhibit dedicated to the memory of those raped, murdered, and kidnapped on October 7.
Why demonstrate immediately outside such an event? New York is a big city. Surely they could have demonstrated somewhere else?
My understanding is that there were family of some of the hostages at that event.
Wasn't it then beyond cruel to demonstrate where and when they did?
In another post I liken this to the religious bigots who demonstrated next to the funerals of AIDS victims.
In that case too the cruelty was the point, and I can't imagine anyone with any sense of empathy supporting or defending such an action.
