"Buying land in Israel" — is the West Bank in Israel?
There is a meaningful difference, in my opinion, between hosting an event about buying land in Israel and hosting an event where it is literally sold, right there. Seeing some conflation. Also, "Why I was protesting outside a synagogue" — again, in my opinion, you should avoid that series of words.

No. You can go protest Israeli land theft in front of the Israeli consulate on Wilshire Boulevard. Might have better optics than a synagogue / arguing for weeks about an information session that had to be turned into an “auction” to make the action seem less self-defeating for the cause of Gaza.

Get over yourself. Criminal activities don't stop being against the law because you're doing it a religious building Otherwise everyone would run organized crime from inside them

ALSO If you support Palestinian people They're in charge of what their people need and want and literally everything else about themselves. If you support them You' must support them if they ACT on their rights Including their right to resist occupation by any means necessary

You support their total liberation from everything that would bind them to submit to anyone else except those things they freely choose for themselves.

They can’t. All they see is themselves. That’s Zionism. That’s right wing nationalist psycho babble.

Fuck your optics. If you defile a temple by making it an auction house for brutally stolen land, you can expect some pushback

This is a pretty thin hair to split when you look at the pictures of past events, linked straight from their advertisements. Gallery of past events: homeinisrael-il.com/exhibitions/ An example ad (on pg 6): jewishjournal.com/print-issue/...

This one is especially bad. This is a sales fair, not an "information session". And while it is neither an auction (AFAICT) nor focused specifically on the West Bank, many of these realtors are obviously and shamelessly selling real estate in the West Bank.

Yeah, except for fuck optics. I’ll protest in a synagogue on the roof of a mosque in the bathroom of a church or wherever the hell I feel like it. You’re the one in the crowd whining you’re not on the field.

Seriously you guys don't get it. Genocide has Highlander rules and they were giving out information about buying stolen land on holy ground.

“you can protest land theft, you just have to do it at a location miles away from it” so you want people to protest ineffectively? how many acts of evil must happen at a house of worship in order to please your optics? optics are often decided by the media, and they act on their own agendas.
