In my opinion, the protestors for Palestinian recognition were confusing the message. The protest was literally called “no kings” because it was rejecting his attacks on our democracy and his harmful domestic policy.
While America has supported Israel (disgracefully) during their genocide, that is a foreign policy move that has been shared by every president in the last two decades or so, and does not constitute the king-like behavior that has made him different from other presidents. Meanwhile, the deporting of legal immigrants, detention of citizens by the military, gutting of government agencies, and ignoring of judicial orders is all highly unusual, and is exactly the reason it is called “no kings”.
I hope your blog will address why you chose to make the Palestinian issue a central theme of your visual presentation, and why you think it belongs under the headline of a “no kings” protest when it is a policy decision that is shared by both parties.
To be abundantly clear before people think I’m pro-Israel, I believe they are committing genocide against the Palestinian people, and they should be stopped and punished for crimes against humanity. I have no position against the Palestinians at all, I only question whether or not their struggle belonged in this protest, just like I think weed legalization would have been out of place too, even though it is a position I heavily support.
