    As in he condemns both antisemitism and he condemns apathy for Palestinians. That makes sense. Antisemitism is bad. Pro-Palestinian is good. I hate that we’re still funding Israel. But I’m glad he’s been openly critical of Netanyahu and has been constantly been pushing for aid to Gaza.

    The Israeli lobby and PR machine is going into overdrive over these protests. It must be working. How can we support them?

    Are the antisemitic protests in the room with us Joe? Can you point to one of them for us?

    Just more finger pointing without substance to try to discredit protests. Yesterday’s CNN article specifically about antisemitism at Columbia protests didn’t provide any more specifics than one Jewish student saying how scared he was because someone confronted him. Doesn’t say about what or offer any specifics of the confrontation, just that he was scared.

    Blanket accusations of antisemitism continue to undermine efforts to call out legitimate antisemitism, which is still a problem.
