      The headline is technically true but is missing a key piece of information here. The paint and blocking is in protest against the CISCO company and not really against the pride event.

      Gave me the wrong idea when I read it.

      I guess all those “Palestine Action” t-shirts have now had “Youth Demand” stuck over them.

      I get that they’re protesting against one of Pride’s sponsors, and not Pride itself. But do they not get how bad this looks?

      They *have* disrupted Pride, whether that was their explicit goal or not.

      At best, it’s quite rude to try to take over someone else’s event (like proposing or announcing a pregnancy at someone else’s wedding). And at worst, it comes across as dismissive of LGBT people and their current issues and concerns.

      When you’re such a hardcore protester that you protest other protests.

      Wait until they find out that almost every IT security and/or networking company does business with Israel, or was started by Israelis.

      For instance huge amounts of banks and other mega-corps and governments use Checkpoint firewalls that’s basically run by ex-IDF spooks, and they essentially invented the modern firewall.

      And so the purity spiral continues

      Sooner or later it will be impossible for anyone anywhere to be pure enough for all the activists and the causes will lose all support because it just won’t be worth it for the grief they get

      Purity spirals always destroy any causes that allow them to develop.

      You’re not allowed to care about anything but THEIR favourite cause.

      Everything is about Palestine, and if we all get hysterical enough about the oldest conflict in the world, maybe it’ll magically stop.
