Sure, but does New Orleans have a large jewish population? NYC historically does, so it’s no surprise there is influence. Israel can burn imo but I’m not shocked that somewhere with a high percentage of jewish people would have a parade in support of Israel, especially considering the work Israel does to push the connection between judaism and Israel.
Large enough that the lefties were split on Palestine and the local narrative was that wearing a Palestinian flag at a protest was tantamount to being anti semitic. But i doubt we have a huge population.
Apparently there are about 1.4 million Jewish people in NYC, or about 14% of the population, so yeah, it’s sizeable. I’m not defending them at all, it just grates me that people just gloss over what I feel are important details.
So does New Orleans and we don’t have an Israeli parade to my knowledge
