According to KIRO, there were mixed reactions among those attending the tree lighting. While some expressed support for the protesters’ cause, others were surprised and disappointed by the disruption.
One attendee, Tara Mehrsadeh, said, “I agree with freeing Palestine, but there was some vandalizing over there that I do not agree with. I mean, I’m supporting freeing Palestine 110 percent. But I was kind of unexpected because I didn’t expect this to happen while I was here.”
Another attendee, Julie Davis, expressed her frustration, saying, “Horrible. I don’t feel safe. I want the tree to light. This is the Christmas spirit. They [protesters] just walked in and took over the stage.”
Amidst the chaos, some attendees chanted “Light the tree” in an attempt to counter the protesters.

This disruption of a beloved holiday tradition is not only disrespectful but also reminiscent of the divisiveness that has infiltrated many aspects of our society today. It is disheartening to see how some individuals are willing to use any platform, including a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, to push their political agenda and promote their own cause.
Christmas is a time of peace, joy, and unity. It is a time when people, regardless of their beliefs or political affiliations, come together to celebrate and spread goodwill. Events like a Christmas tree lighting ceremony should serve as a reminder of the importance of inclusivity and respect for one another.
Unfortunately, incidents like this disrupt the harmony that should be present during the holiday season. Instead, they create tension and division among communities. The purpose of such a ceremony is not to promote any particular political ideology but to foster a sense of togetherness and shared joy.
While everyone has the right to express their opinions and engage in peaceful protest, it is crucial to choose appropriate venues and platforms for such actions. Disrupting a Christmas tree lighting ceremony, an event that holds cultural and sentimental value to many, detracts from the intended purpose and alienates those who simply wish to enjoy the festive atmosphere.
Furthermore, hijacking an event that symbolizes hope, love, and unity for a specific political cause undermines the true meaning of the holiday season. It is essential to separate personal beliefs and political agendas from events that are meant to bring people together and promote positivity and goodwill.
In conclusion, the disruption of the annual Christmas tree lighting ceremony in Seattle by radicalized leftists advocating for the Palestinian cause is a clear example of how some individuals prioritize their own agenda over communal harmony and respect. The holiday season should be a time of inclusivity, tolerance, and celebration, and using platforms like Christmas events for political purposes detracts from this spirit. Let us remember the true meaning of Christmas and strive for unity and goodwill towards all.
