@jeffw nice to see some action even if it’s not for the right reasons. I feel like letting the violence and antisemitism slide is troubling.
Been watching a lot of CNN lately, by any chance?
@aleph absolutely not.
That's surprising, since you seem to be making the exact same mistakes that the Pro-Israel media are making: 1) These protests are not in favour of Hamas, they are in favour of a ceasefire and freedom for Palestinians, and 2) conflating anti-Zionism with anti-Semitism.
You'll find that Jewish people are more than welcome to join these protests, and in fact many of the protesters are Jewish themselves.
