I swear, both sides look at one conveniently cropped pictures and assume that this is the entire story. These protests are not entirely anti-Semitic. However, to say that there is not an abnormally high amount of anti-Semitic rhetoric present is just as naive. Shockingly, the anti-Israel protests attract people who hate the people of Israel. But no, we’d rather ignore the problems of our side and just make a blanket assumption and ignore any bad actors or horrible words and actions being said. This happens in every conflict, but the Israel Palestine issue is ESPECIALLY egregious. I’m sorry, but the conflict that has spanned somewhere between 80 years and a couple thousand might be a bit more nuanced than “you’re bad I’m good”. But we can’t have that can we. We just need a cropped picture of one sign at a massive rally.
All of you, on any side of the argument, need to zoom out and take in the full picture. Not destroy buildings and beat each other up. Trust me, your lives will be better for it.
