Organisers of Washington’s Dyke March for LGTBQ rights have shown their antisemitism by banning the Star of David because they consider it a nationalistic symbol as it appears on the Israeli flag. Hypocritically, they do not consider the cross or the crescent to be nationalistic even though those symbols appear on the flags of many countries. Likewise, they have banned the display of American and Israeli flags but not the Palestinian flag, claiming that the others are nationalistic whereas the latter is a symbol of fighting for rights, even though it is the nationalistic flag of the self-ruling Palestinian territories. Furthermore, the rulers in those areas jail and shoot LGTBQ people, which does not seem to worry these fighters for LGTBQ rights. One would think that people who have suffered discrimination would act better than being antisemitic.
