    Strange how they never managed this back when all the neo-nazis was marching for Trump back in 2016…

    This is pretty much the only thing “peaceful protest” will ever get you.

      I might note that both Israel and the neo-nazis support the republicans almost exclusively over democrats. I’m sure there’s no connection there.

    But right wing protestors chanting “Jews will not replace us!”? That, apparently, is fine.

    And yet when an Israeli student threatened to “krav maga” me “into next week” for simply pointing out I was Palestinian while she was on some rant about how palestinians are all terrorists, that’s just free speech and we need to think about a slippery slope into tyranny if we do anything about it less permissive than asking nicely for an apology.

    I remember after a student at my college was run over and killed by an Israeli bulldozer for protesting on behalf of Palestinians the zionist backlash on campus for talking about it was immense and even got the school newspaper shut down for a while for, you guessed it: antisemitism.

    *edit: I should add this was nearly 20 years ago.

    If you think that that what “antisemitism” complains are about, then you are clearly in some kind of distorted reality.

      It’s exactly what it’s about. Criticism of Israel is included in the official definition of Anti-Semitism in many countries and organizations.
