In contrast, these parades were in support of murders, kidnappings, rape, and other similar crimes committed earlier this week, including against children, some of them featuring the still-bleeding bodies of their murder victims being carried around.
It's sort of like comparing a parade by the Westboro Baptist Church to... I dunno, I want to say Charlottesville but that doesn't remotely do it justice. These things are just not the same and there have been a ton of those types of false equivalencies thrown around despite people thanking posts imploring people not to fall into that trap.

It is very similar at best and far worse in my opinion.
Celebrating the killing of a few hundred people a few weeks ago vs. celebrating the ethnic cleansing of palestinians from jerusalem.
One is an isolated celebration of killing a few hundred people. A celebration that will probably not be repeated in the future. The other is a yearly event where Israelis march through the streets screaming "death to the arabs". It's a yearly reminder of past, present and potentially future genocide.
It isn't a small thing as you claim. It would be equivalent to Canadians marching through the streets of native reserves screaming "death to the Indians. We're coming for you to finish the job."... every year and having Christia Freeland join, on September 30. Oh but I'm sure it'll all be good because the RCMP wouldn't allow anyone to throw stuff.
