    Isn't this a protest against genocide? Did you see somewhere that protest organizers were advocating for antisemitism? Could you link that for us? That would be very helpful context. Thanks

    Genocide? Genocide is not happening in Palestine. The Hamas are doing exactly what they wanted, gain sympathy from gullible people to make them look like the victims. Hamas and Palestine are one, whether you want to hear it or not. they're in power because of the overwhelming majority of Palestinians support them. Israel is trying to only target Hamas and their military, but it's very difficult when Hamas uses the Palestine people as human shields and hides in their homes...

    Show us the anti-jew rhetoric and we'll denounce it.

    BTW, Palestinians are semitic.

    First, he was wrong for saying that. Second, he apologized. Was it because he was caught. No idea, good chance of that but 🤷.

    More importantly, Zionist =/= Jews. There are plenty of Jews that are anti-Zionist. Some well known Jews including Noam Chomsky who has used the phrase "Judeo-Nazi tendencies" of the Israeli state. There is nothing wrong with being anti-Zionist.
