Last week, the group "Queers for Palestine" protested and interrupted the Philadelphia Pride Parade.  Queers for Palestine has not been shy about crossing the line into illegitimate/exaggerated criticism of Israel, an antisemitic act by definition.  For example, they've slanderously claimed that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza, and have scolded other LGBT+ advocacy groups for accurately not describing the war as genocidal.

In last week's protest, they were heard chanting "PPP, KKK, IOF, you're all the same."  Note that the slur "IOF" is a pejorative nickname for Israel's army.  Let's examine their nonsensical chant.  They're trying to equate the pro-LGBT+, all-race-welcoming Philadelphia Pride Parade to the KKK, a racist organization that want to remove the citizenship of Black Americans, and to an army engaged in military combat.  By what twisted logic could those three groups be considered the same?

Here's my speculation.  I think that they have a twisted vision of justice (which, incidentally, contradicts ACF's terms of service) where disparity is a measure of injustice, that any on-paper fair rules which sustain disparities are inherently unjust, and that the rules should be bent to side with the less privileged group in every situation, as this reduces disparity.  Under that twisted logic, the Philadelphia Pride Parade's decision to be welcoming to Jews and Zionists could be viewed as an injustice on par with the KKK's blatant racism.
