    This.

    There is a weird double whammy here that I don’t know if I’ve seen, but others may have. On the one side, you have a centuries-old practice of hating Jews that is still in full force. When Israel is defending itself against attack, you get groups happy they are getting attacked and want to sew divisiveness. On the other, you have people who legitimately—yes, legitimately—are concerned with the treatment of a group that is being more and more marginalized as terror groups seek to exploit them at the same time. You have Palestinian supporters who very much want to see Israel conduct this defense without further harm to civilians and without further loss of liberties. That is hard to accomplish, obviously, because of aforementioned terror groups who want to see civilians harmed.

    So protesters who want a free Palestine are getting called antisemites because others have piled on. Israel supporters are criticized for rising civilian casualties.

    It’s no win except for the TFG and MTG crowd who really don’t want either group to thrive.

    Rutgers and University of Minnesota reach resolutions with Gaza protesters

    Students at Rutgers University in New Jersey and the University of Minnesota in Minneapolis reached agreements with administrators on Thursday to peacefully dismantle their Gaza solidarity encampment protest.

    Rutgers and the University of Minnesota now join Northwestern and Brown in successfully reaching deals to peacefully end their encampment protests.

    And then you’ve got the white nationalists who suddenly are rushing to defend Israel even though they were griping about Jews controlling the world just a couple of months ago.

    They miss their own irony of not connecting the whole King of the Jews thing.

    Really? Do you have any examples of this? Not some isolated crockpot somewhere (you can find someone out there saying anything), but actual white nationalist leaders who have done what you said? Cause after the Hamas attack, I vivildy remember the exact OPPOSITE of what you said. ... There were white supremacist leaders who were applauding what Hamas did.

    Of course they are. They see an opportunity to drive a wedge between two of the groups they hate.
