I know Nage Waza likes to categorize any anti-Israel demonstration as anti-semitic, but the point of Al Quds day is protesting against the genuinely horrible treatment of Palestinians and the increasingly indefensible apartheid policies of the nation of Israel.

In other words, IMO Al Quds day would be a terrible choice for a march against anti-semitism.

(Yes, I'm aware that in some countries Al Quds day marches have turned violently anti-semitic. Mostly they don't, and it's still pretty much the one day when anti-semites have an actual point.)

As for Hezbollah flags, boo hoo. Yes, they're categorized as terrorists and thus illegal, but the reality is so much more complicated that it's a pretty ridiculous complaint.
