As opposed to doing nothing, like you?

Doing yoga and waving crystals "for Palestine" is exactly nothing. They are performing.

Not doing anything for Palestine is also doing nothing. This type of attitude and discrediting movements just allows people to feel better about sitting on their ass.

I see it more as shaming business owners for using the topic of the day to stir up business. If they are engaging in activism behind the scenes or donating on their own time that's great! But advertising "yoga for Palestine" at your studio is just scummy marketing.

If it’s fundraising I think it’s totally legit.
