(JEWISH GROUP) How the Oct. 7 aftermath splintered the New York Dyke March

[Behind the Aegis]

Jodi Kreines, an organizer for the 2025 New York City Dyke March, was concerned. It was mid-March; in barely three months, between 15,000 and 30,000 self-identified dykes would converge in Manhattan for the annual march, which explicitly centers queer women. But no logistics work had begun.

Kreines, who is Jewish, was standing in the way — by refusing to sign off on an Instagram statement explicitly defining the Dyke March as anti-Zionist.

But her fellow organizing committee members were insistent, and Kreines finally gave in, afraid, she said, of “putting the entire march in peril.” On March 14, the march’s official Instagram account posted that they were “strengthening their commitment to anti-Zionist, anti-racist, pro-LGBTQ+ community standards.”

For a significant number of Jewish and Israeli dykes who have long been involved in the march, it was a moment of rupture. Pro-Palestinian supporters also objected, arguing the organization has not gone far enough.

1. Sounds similar with what some of the leaders of the Women's march did, trying to ban women

carrying the Star of David flag from the march.

2. I don't like to use the word shame,

but shame on her. Kreines knows it this is about Jew hate and she became complicit in it.

3. Totally illogical

Have this march in Gaza or the West Bank and see how they treat you.

Israel is the most, and maybe only, country in the middle east where homosexuals can live openly and safely.
