I’m sorry but this is no different than any other anti war protest. Anti war protests happening at college campuses are as old as….college campuses. To be clear, yes, there are some people attending these protests that have insane, objectionable views, but it’s always been this way when you get a large number of people together. The loudest, most extreme voices are going to stand out and those with an agenda are going to put a megaphone on those in an effort to delegitimize the entire thing. I don’t see why this is so hard to understand.
If some of you truly believe this entire thing, or even a large portion of it, is about Jew hating…I really don’t know what to tell you. You’re choosing to see what you want to see. A large number of these students ARE Jews that want a peaceful resolution and I seriously doubt theres anyone other than the most extreme, insane people that support what happened on October 7th. Unless you’re actually there and can report on what the majority of students think, you’re just sharing select footage that often lacks context….or kids that maybe aren’t that educated going because their friends are.
Im sure someone will follow this up with a video of someone saying “death to Jews” as if to prove me wrong, not realizing they’re actually proving my point. Whatever. There’s a reason I’m at GAF and not the other place. We largely tend to look at things objectively and not get swept up in culture war nonsense, but clearly we’re not immune to it. If this is a problem, please thread ban me, but I feel like some people need to take their blinders off. Not everything is so black and white.
