Rød ungdom (Red Youth) announced its withdrawal from the planned demonstration "Support the Palestinian Resistance" scheduled for October 7th. The decision stems from disagreements with the Party for Peace and Justice (FOR), one of the demonstration’s organizers, regarding the expression of support for organizations like Hamas. Rød ungdom demanded a prohibition on showing support for Hamas and displaying flags supporting the Iranian regime, requests that FOR refused to meet. The planned demonstration has faced significant criticism due to its coinciding with the anniversary of the terror attack in southern Israel on October 7, 2023. This timing has sparked controversy and led to the withdrawal of Rød ungdom as a result of their concerns. The group stated their principles prevent them from participating in an event that could be interpreted as supporting terrorism or authoritarian regimes. This withdrawal highlights internal divisions within the organizing coalition.
