Like the college protests. Where they have on video one of the pro Israel peeps going into the protestor crowd and yelling shit like “death to Jews” to make the protestors look bad…scumbags
Reminds me of a scene in Fullmetal Alchemist where a character who can shapeshift turns into a “citizen” on one side of a tense situation between the greater govt and the local population. He shoots a govt official during some non-violent protest and it sets off a whole war. It was revealed he was working for the govt to further their own goals.
Not to mention that any protest against is real (or anything netanyahu’s govt doesn’t like) is “antisemitic.”
Antisemitism is a problem. And its roots are long and deep and often hard to spot. But they are using the term “antisemitism” as a cudgel against legitimate criticism. Because they’re a goddamn apartheid government.
I probably shouldn’t guess because the truth is I have not even the slightest idea, but I would bet money that it was the Israel side that started the violence and not the protestor side. Among other things, I think if the protestors started the violence, there wouldn’t be any of this passive voice “violence evolved” stuff; we’d be hearing specifically about how they “attacked,” in the active voice.
There’s been conspicuously few accounts of the actual violence too.
Considering how things have gone in the past, the religious extremists rhere to illegally bid on another countries land likely started it.
I’ve seen articles where they claim any protest against Israel is automatically “violent”.

Something similar also happened in a recent episode of >!The Boys, S04E1!<
Or flat out assaulting the students in front of cops (or while cops suspiciously absent)
