Happy to say that there's an #antiGenocide protest encampment here in #Boise, near the Capitol. At least 50 folks there when I went an hour or so ago.
Also relieved that our local newspaper's piece on it seemed subtly supportive, rather than making up a bogus "both sides" framing that's all too common.
> The protest in Boise began Friday night at the Anne Frank Memorial, where protesters left flowers to “honor victims of #genocide everywhere,” Boise to Palestine, a group that says it is seeking the liberation of #Palestine, wrote on its Instagram.
> The Idaho chapter of IfNotNow, a national organization that describes itself as movement of American Jews advocating to “end U.S. support for Israel’s apartheid system,” in a post on Instagram called for an end to the “mass slaughter of Palestinians” and pushed back against claims that equated anti-Zionism with antisemitism.
