The article says
Videos from the demonstration appeared to show counter-protesters holding an Israeli flag chanting “Kill the Jews.”
I’ve seen a lot of articles like this but I’ve yet to see any evidence. I find it very hard to believe any student protesters would allow anything like that parallel to their protests since it would undermine their goals.
Yeah something smells fishy. I’m thinking agitators, or like 1 or 2 people said it and they use it to make it sound like the whole group was saying it.
Boop beep I got delete.
The rumor is a counter-protestor (pro-Isreal) started pretending to be an antisemitic pro-Palestine person and everyone there shouted him down. Again it’s just a rumor that I read. I feel like these days its getting harder and harder to really know anything, but I have a hard time imagining ACTUAL antisemites would take over a college campus protest.
On the other hand I do acknowledge that ACTUAL antisemitism have been huge problem as they appropriate the pro-palestine movement to further antisemitism, as I have seen in wayy too many places online these days (Just to make sure I’m clear- criticizing Israel isn’t antisemitism, but saying Jews secretly control the world and every Jew is secretly pro-Israel certainly is).
There is a video on birdsite showing it was one guy, holding an Israel flag, who changed it once and then said “right? Any takers? Because that’s what you were just chanting for, right guys?”
I will see if I can find it and report back.

It’s almost as if those in charge have never read a history book.
