Grotesque claims: Students revolt against Western media misinformation - Pearls and Irritations
The largest this century, pro-Palestinian student demonstrations in the US and globally highlight the systemic failure of Western governments.Jeremy Webb (Pearls and Irritations)
A really graphic example was the "Have you ever thought that by being here, you bring risk and danger to other participants?"
It's actually scary how many folks on #mastodon don't see a problem there. Mostly dudes, btw.
The octopus/kraken is one of the best known symbols in antisemitic propaganda.
If you‘d spent any thought or research on the possible role of #antisemitism as a motivation for your personal opinions (or protest!) you would have avoided to use this symbol.
So it is either an intentional dog whistle or a sign of your complete ignorance.
(I tried to write this politely.)
Antisemitism should be tolerated and found to be not in violation of community standards just so long as it is “newsworthy,” thanks EFF.
No, it is not antisemitic to criticize Israel, but classic tropes of Jews controlling media, politics etc very much are, for anyone who has not bothered to read the lyrics.
We hear a lot about the “new #antisemitism” but we should acknowledge that the old kind is incredibly prevalent on the pro-Israel side.
Most “Christian Zionists” think Jews are money-grubbing, Hollywood-controlling globalists and would lose their shit if their kid dated one.

Lyft driver license plate glorified Hamas attack.🤮
A #Jewish woman who called a Lyft saw the October 7 license plate.
She asked the company for a refund which was initially denied.
The DMV said they are looking into the plate.

"Jewish Columbia Students Release Letter Calling Out Antisemitism On Campus"
"More than 250 students have signed onto the open letter"
“For Biden, the only good Jews are Zionists – those who support Israel and its settler colonial project. But what about the rest of us? We Jews who reject a conflation of Judaism and Zionism? We Jews who say never again and mean never again for everyone? We Jews who are calling for a free Palestine and an end to Israel’s occupation?”

Don’t be fooled - Biden is the real antisemite
Don’t be fooled by Joe Biden’s recent speech on antisemitism. Biden doesn’t care about Jews unless they share his support for Zionism. The rest of us are enemies of the state.Maura Finkelstein (Mondoweiss)
#German #police arrested a Jewish man holding a banner "Jews Against #Genocide" and confiscated his banner.
Isn't that #antisemitism? Preventing the free speech of a Jewish citizen on broad daylight like this?

MTG Cites Antisemitic Conspiracy Theory Jews ‘Handed Over’ Jesus To Be Killed
Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) cited one of the most prominent historical...TPM
Regardless of one's position on the ongoings in middle east, is disingenuous at best to lobby for #censorship of #protest as a way to deter #antisemitism.
If anything, this feeds into common stereotypes, and w/likely have a complete opposite effect IMHO (unfortunately).
"If you want to say there is antisemitic speech that is a characteristic, repeated element in the protests, quote it... You have to use specific quantities not weasel words like 'many'—since...there are 'many' people who feel equally targeted by discrimination and threat aimed at Palestinians."
The #antisemitism charge seems to mostly be based on that venerable protest slogan, 'from the river to the sea, Palestine shall be free.'

This is a very important article.
When the people say "Oh they're just angry at Israel", imagine demanding that all universities remove Catholic centers from their campuses!
Fear is widespread on American campuses, researcher says
Students are “observing acts of physical violence and intimidation right in front of them. Jewish students are seeing Jewish buildings attacked. Muslim students are seeing people ... counterattack against Muslims. The students that are not Jewish and not Muslim, they’re just seeing everybody getting ... attacked.”

"But all these claims have served a purpose. They keep western publics focused on evil humanitarian aid workers and evil anti-war protesters rather than the kind of evil that dares in broad daylight to kill 15,000 children, destroy hospitals, and hide bodies in mass graves.

Shameful and outrageous behavior from people who would rather Jews all just disappear. These officials are just as bad as would-be vandals. #Antisemitism #Jews #Jewish

I checked Google Maps. It's about 1,000 feet.
The New York Stock Exchange, where these Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists were "protesting" last week, is about 1,000 feet from where similar terrorists brought down the World Trade Center on 9/11.
Do you remember the 9/11 attacks? Do you remember anyone saying they were "heroic" or "exhilarating"?
#USPol #Gaza #terrorism #antisemitism
Here are so-called "protesters" in Manhattan last week, with a Hezbollah flag and a Hamas headband.
Everyone who's saying "peaceful protesters!" and "it's not #antisemitism!" needs to STFU for a minute.
Hamas and Hezbollah are antisemitic terrorist groups. In 1994, Hezbollah drove a car bomb into a Jewish Community Center in Buenos Aires, killing 85 people and wounding 300 more.
If you think killing every Jew in the world is "resistance," you're a sick piece of shit.
Case in point to every fucking asshole conflating pro-justice, pro-liberation with antisemitism:
Hundreds of Jewish anti-war demonstrators have been arrested during a Passover seder that doubled as a protest in New York, as they shut down a major thoroughfare to pray for a ceasefire and urge the Senate majority leader, Chuck Schumer, to end US military aid to Israel.
Hundreds of Jews... arrested during a Passover seder.
Jews.
"Antisemitism" is what *you* are doing oppressing Jews for Peace.

The situation itself, that a white man who hailed himself a great ally was privately a bigoted racist, is not a surprise. That happens a lot. But it’s repugnant when someone thinks their publicly-exposed “private” comments exonerate them from their wrong doing.
“Unfortunately…comments which I never intended to share publicly have come to light.”
But you said them. That’s who you are. Publicly or privately.
