    Are you saying that everyone protesting is protesting the exact same thing? You know they are not. There are antisemitic protesters at probably everyone of these events.

    The fine print on that map is ridiculously broad. I’m sure my posts on this thread would show up as a dot too.

    Sure there probably are. Just like there are antisemitic attendees at most Trump rallies. That doesn’t mean most Trump rally attendees are antisemitic.

    So some fringe nazis protesting a few weeks ago somehow normalizes rampant protests at our college campuses AGAINST the victims of a brutal terrorist attack--in essence thereby celebrating that???

    What. In. The. Hell???

    Normalizing? As usual you completely missed the point.

    Hate and division seem to be the forces in charge. See SOH.

    Lol! Your *point*, like I-boy's, was to redirect the thread to the right.

    Well, since you all somehow had to make “anti-Semitism is bad” a left/right pissing match, let me be the first to warn that you are treading dangerously close to proclaiming that “there are some very fine people” at anti-Semitic rallies.

    NB--nazis protesting in the 21st century actually adds to OP, it doesn't detract.

    Both reflect an increase in antisemitism.

    Based on quantity vs the global nature of the YAY HAMAS!!! rallies.

    You're the one who tried yo obscure to ubiquity of the latter, with the fringy former.

    All I'm saying is that fringy nazi crsp doesn't dilute global, nation wide, open and in your face, and on so many university campuses antisemitism, it adds to it.

    Nazis and KKK are very rare in the U.S. They have no power and are universally despised. It’s the new hate groups that fester on college campuses that promote tribalism…like BLM. Those get a pass from scrutiny by the media who claim they are innocuous, but they lie. Once you get a 19 year old to accept the judgement of strangers based upon race, which is an innate characteristic, it’s not hard to manipulate the judgement into hate and refocus the tribalism into attacking wealth, religion, nationality etc. Next thing you know you have women with rainbow hair, pierced tongues and who use they/them pronouns marching for Hamas at Harvard against the Jews because they are too stupid to realize the group they are marching for would cut their heads off if they actually gained power. The irony is wicked,

    I’m shocked we have so many hypocrites in this country. I never noticed them before.

    Eisenhower said that the Holocaust needed to be documented because one day it would be denied. And he did it. Oddly, the Germans kept great records.

    America is still the greatest country in the world. The overwhelming majority of people are not anti-Semitic. I think it traces back to the fact that so many people here came here from oppression or were oppressed themselves. But a small percent of 350 million people is a lot.
