Multiple factors could have contributed to the low turnout at the event titled “Stand Together,” which was billed by organizers as a chance to “stand with Israel” and “strengthen our Jewish unity.”

    JFNA threw in a free meal voucher for the day; a couple of concession stands were certified kosher and offered hot dogs and chicken schnitzel sandwiches.

    “A year in the headlines is a long time,” said Zeitz, 57, who was wearing a blue “I Stand with Israel” sweatshirt. “It’s waning. I get the feeling some of us are losing interest.”

    Look, I know that you kids had lots of fun LARPing as ancient Israelites for the past seventy-six years, pretending that unarmed children are really the seed of big scary Amalek, but now everybody else is tired of playing with you. Give up. Colonialism is not an air element that Jews need to breathe.

    Just let the Zionist project go… it’s over.
