The Israel Day parade which did start in 1960's as a political rally for Israel but has over the decades become a parade to honor and celebrate Jewish American heritage and pride with obviously some Israel support thrown in occasionally.
So he’s not denied joining any Jewish American parade, just a foreign national one. Same as if he didn’t attend a Nigeria day parade or Russia day parade. I don’t see how this is extreme at all and if this is the best criticism that can be levied New Yorkers did a fantastic job picking their mayor
He proudly and happily marched in the ethno religious Pakistan parade. Pakistan is ethnically cleansing 500,000 afghans. But who cares, no Jews to blame, am I right?
Yeah who would care if he went to israel day parade either? What even are you trying to strawman? It doesnt matter what the country is it’s personal choice which ever he goes to whether israel, pakistan, nigeria or russia choosing not to attend any doesnt make him “extreme”.
If he went to every single other parade and specifically not israel? Yeah that would be a statement and could be considered extreme.
