37. It wouldn't be the first time that a rally was coopted by bad actors.

It was happening even before October 7.

Remember when the DC branch of the Sunrise Movement refused to speak at a voting rights rally because Jewish groups were also participating? They called for the Jewish groups to be "ejected".

National climate, voting rights groups try to keep movements unified after dispute about Israel
October 21, 2021

Leaders of two national liberal groups — one focused on climate, the other on voting rights — on Thursday issued statements aimed at trying to keep their diverse movements unified after a controversy erupted related to Israel and accusations of antisemitism.

It centered on a voting rights rally scheduled for late Saturday morning near the U.S. Capitol.

On Wednesday, the D.C. branch of Sunrise Movement, a youth-led climate organization, issued a statement saying it was declining a speaking spot at the Freedom To Vote rally due to the presence of three Jewish groups that “are in alignment with and in support of Zionism and the State of Israel.” The three groups include the policy arm of Reform Judaism, the largest denomination of Jews, and the National Council of Jewish Women, another prominent progressive Jewish advocacy group.

Sunrise DC also asked in its statement for organizers of the Saturday rally to eject the three Jewish groups from their coalition.
