I attended the Hands Off protest in the city where I live. There were about 2,000 people there.

I made a really nice sign about protecting Federal Parks, Public Lands and Federal workers. There were a lot of really good signs about medicare, social security, public lands, democracy, and how Trump is completely insane. There were American flags, upside down American flags, Ukrainian flags, and Canadian Flags.

There were speakers who spoke about how they depended on medicaid and/or social security, there was someone who talked about how democrats need more people in Washington like Cory Booker, someone talked about all the damage Trump was doing to democracy...

And then they brought up a woman who was introduced as being a member of the Socialist party and who has been out protesting for a year and a half.....I knew exactly what was coming...
Right on cue she immediately started a rant about "the genocide in Gaza...."

So that was it. I sighed and I left. I take this experience as me being told that this is yet one more space where Jews are not welcome. Well, I guess some Jews, like those who are members of JVP are welcome.

But not me.

The end.

Shabbat Shalom everyone!
