"We didn't stop you from marching in our parade, but you're blocking us from our parade. Shame on all of you!"They went on to declare, "that is not solidarity," describing the group as "bullies.".One member of the group held a sign that read, "Death 2 the IDF.".Eventually they gave in, and continued moving west up Pacific St.A number of other parade participants displayed Palestinian flags or wore keffiyehs, but Pride remained the focus of their efforts.
