This deserves its own thread. These people are beyond sick.

Pro-Palestinian protesters have disrupted a Holocaust remembrance march near the grounds of Auschwitz concentration camp.
Demonstrators waved Palestinian flags and held signs reading 'Stop the Genocide' while Holocaust survivors and thousands of Israelis joined the yearly memorial march in Poland to honour the victims of Nazi atrocities.
The march, on Israel's Holocaust Remembrance Day (Yom HaZikaron), honours the six million Jews killed by Nazi Germany and celebrates the state of Israel.
Those in attendance on the grounds of the former Nazi concentration camp on Monday included survivors of Hamas' October 7 attacks on Israel who came to reaffirm the vow: “Never again.”
The mood at the March of the Living was overshadowed this year by the war in Gaza after the October 7 attack on Israel by Hamas, the deadliest violence against Jews since Adolf Hitler's regime sought to destroy the entire Jewish population of Europe.
The October attack unleashed a war which has led to a high number of Palestinian deaths, fuelling pro-Palestinian protests around the world.
I understand feelings are high. I understand and fully support the need to protest. The people need to have their voices heard, and young people especially are driven and passionate.
BUT. Have some damn decorum and compassion for others, and respect for others’ recognition of their own history of atrocities foisted upon them.

I find this whole thing absolutely abhorrent.
I agree all around.
It also eerily reminds me of the "Westboro Baptist Church" type tactics, who would harass grieving families at funerals.
These pro-Palestine demonstrators seem bent on antagonizing people at every chance they get. How it is that they still have so much support is completely beyond my understanding.
