    Except there have been antisemitic incidents, namely verbal harassment. You can condemn antisemitism and condemn Israel. You can also protest Israel without spewing epithets at any Jew you come across.

    And god forbid Biden condemn Palestinian hate, right?

      Right and the BLM protests were all about causing violence and looting?

      I’m sick of this right wing tactic of focusing on some inconsequentially insignificant portion of multiple events, many with zero instances of the priority complaint even occurring and using that to frame the entire movement to discredit it.

      “Oh but Biden also wrapped it up with a throw away comment saying he’s totes mcgotes not okay with the happening right now genocide that he is materially supporting”

        Advantageous looting follows a lot of civil unrest. Not sure how that’s relevant here.

        The fact is that people on campus were being harassed solely based on their background. That’s okay?

        It’s not really insignificant when you’re looking at Columbia in particular. Maybe at other schools, but you just said you don’t like people bringing in irrelevant events to the discussion, so I won’t go there.

        I see you completely ignored the part where Biden condemned Israel, since it doesn’t fit your narrative. Let me guess, you won’t support the democrats because “both parties are the same”.

          He didn’t condemn Israel, he “condemn[s] those who don’t understand what’s going on with the Palestinians”, which is such passive language that it could just as easily be interpreted as ‘condemning people who don’t understand Israel’s response to violent Palestinians’.

          He’s walking a tightrope and intentionally being vague so as not to piss-off AIPAC donors.

        US sanctions to Israel would instantly stop the Genocide and make Netanyahu’s government fall within a week.

        The actions that the Biden’s Administration’s choses to take: send them 2000lb bombs which the US itself almost never uses because of their huge collateral damage and likelihood of killing innocent civilians.
