NYC Dyke March deletes, apologizes for post saying Jews welcome
Arutz Sheva ^ | 1/7/24 | Gary Willig

The New York City Dyke March deleted and apologized for a post to social media condemning antisemitism and saying that Jews are welcome that was made ahead of Saturday's match in Manhattan.

The original... "We have received many messages over the last several months, asking the committee members of Jewish Dykes are safe and welcome to the 2024 NYC Dyke March. The answer is yes. As a committee, we want to reiterate our position that we stand against antisemitism in all forms."

The post also acknowledged the "senseless loss of Jewish life" during the October 7 massacre, though it contained multiple paragraphs accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza, and focusing on the plight of the Palestinian Arabs. It also claimed that all of the people who have been killed in Gaza have been civilians.

This post was removed within an hour of its posting, with a new post apologizing for it taking its place.

The second post read, "Late at night on June 27, a member of the Dyke March Committee posted a statement on our Instagram. The statement was approved by several other committee members. However, it was published without a full committee-wide vote and does not reflect the official stance of the Dyke March (emphasis in original). The post was a mistake. Therefore, within 30 minutes we deleted it."

"We take full responsibility and apologize for the process and communication breakdown that led us here, as well as the harm our statement caused. Dyke March unapologetically stands in support of Palestinian liberation. This moment is a critical reminder to our committee to remain firm in our stance that anti-Zionism is not antisemitism, and any language we put out which is not clearly opposed to a Zionist, imperialist agenda is harmful to all," the second post continued.

So, dykes marching for acceptance, do not accept Jewish dykes. You just can’t make this stuff up folks.

Jewish dykes won’t be mixing it up with any shiksas, I guess.

Antisemitism was a “polite” way to say Jew hatred. It was a euphemism.

Arabs and etc were not included in the “semitic”, for the original reasons of the coinage, as at the time few were bothered by them and they had no political-social significance.

These days we can call it obsolete, but there is no replacement as yet.
