Once again, the “radically inclusive” gay pride parade known as Dyke March has demonstrated an unbelievable amount of anti-Semitism by banning the Israeli flag.
The fact that some of the organizers are Jewish but declare themselves to be “Self-Loving Anti-Zionists” demonstrates the absurdity of the situation.
When they did this 2 years ago, and caught tons of grief for it, both from Jewish and Gay groups, they were unrepentant. Since they’re doing it again now, they obviously haven’t learned anything.
Just how bizarre is this group? An opinion piece in the Washington Blade speaks volumes. Entitled “We don’t have to choose between Dyke and Jewish identities,” its co-authors crow about how they love their unique lifestyles and condemn Zionists for discriminating against them, insisting, “We’re Jewish Dykes. We’re Dyke-ish Jews. We don’t have to choose!”
The fact that no one is asking them to choose seems to be irrelevant. If someone, over the age of 18, decides to engage in homosexuality, of their own free will, let them. I don’t care what other folks do, but they can not claim the high ground when they’re in the wrong. They’re not living according to Jewish Law and by banning Jewish symbols at their March, they’re not open minded or accepting either. They’re pushing an agenda; those who do not agree have no place in their world.
If someone is Jewish by heritage and they openly state that they hate Israel, Zionism, Jewish stars, Jewish tradition, and the 613 Jewish Commandments, they are NOT a real Jew. Judaism is a religion, not a social club. They can spin it a million ways, but that’s reality.
If they truly cared about Judaism and the Jewish People, they wouldn’t ban Jewish symbols from a gathering. Of course, when you’re motivated to appease Arab terrorists and their defenders, it starts to make more sense.
“We choose to prioritize Palestinian lives and justice in Palestine over lazy symbols,” the authors say, the supposedly Jewish authors… (Let that one sink in for a minute.)
These sorts of parades are always negative. They only stir up controversy and accomplish nothing. Many of the participants are nude, or partially clothed, and engage in lewd behavior on public streets, in front of all ages, including children! (Google the photos; you will be shocked.)
Seeing younger Jews—the Dyke March organizers are under 30—who are so brainwashed, leading such deviant lifestyles, breaks my heart in a million pieces. This is not what a Proverbs 31 woman should do.
If the Jewish community can agree on anything at all, which is rare, we should agree that Zionism is paramount. Anyone who proudly claims to be an Anti-Zionist can not also claim to be a Jew.
