This is the same thing that happens everywhere.

You get a movement, the movement attracts crazies, the crazies get the attention and fuck everything up.

Let le be clear, there is real antisemitism at some of these events.

We have seen the videos and cant deny some nasty shit is being said, but it isn't the majority.

It does need to be stopped though.

I have real trouble with how the media one sides this whole thing in Israel’s favour.

Where is the reporting on what is being said at Israeli protests? I’m sure there is also some vile shit going on there, but the media doesn’t dare to report negatively on Israel with the same rabid fervour they do Palestine.

For context, the level of casually accepted Islamophobia and Jewish supremacy in pro-israel events, or hell straight up genocidal mania ("Māwet lā-Arāvīm" chants) in Israel itself, is not as fringe as the few actually incidents of actual Anti-semitism.

I know that two wrongs don't make a right, but if we accept that passions run high and people might get carried away, let's at least have a consistent framing.

Honest question; what are some examples of antisemitism at these protests?
