The police crackdowns on pro Palestine demonstrations are pretty big right now I wouldn’t say this is “out of proportion”. Colombia shut down their entire school

This is the riot police showing up at the University of Texas today

And going into the school to cancel the protest

Yikes!

I mean the media characterization of “antisemitism” and the subsequent response is blown out of proportion.

To my knowledge the vast majority of protesters have welcomed Israelis into their ranks, and the few agent provocateurs from the first few days are gone now. Which makes sense, considering how much Bibi’s genocidal actions are undermining Israeli interests.

  Yeah that is just the same old lie that governments use. Demonize any protestors by twisting their message and bonus points for planting a few false flags. Zeteo wrote a pretty good article about it:
