Do you think that there should be no parties or celebrations in the US while there is a war going on in the Middle East?

Last night on the news (my local news is NYC news), there were protesters at the Met Gala and one lady who was interviewed by the reporter said that there shouldn’t be galas (such as the Met Gala) as long as there’s genocide going on in the Middle East.

I’ve heard people say the same about graduations – there should be no graduations or celebrations about it during this period, that there are bigger things to worry about than graduations and parties.

How do you feel about it? Do you think there should also be the same during war in Ukraine, etc., cancelling parties and celebrations?
