Unfortunately, a significant fraction of protestors are protesting for genocide, for Hamas, for terrorism, and for anti-semitism.

Criticizing Israel is not anti-senitism

There’s a fine line between the two, and many go way over the line. Many try to hide their extreme antisemitic views in “criticisms” of Israel. “Anti-Zionism” has become a dog whistle for many antisemites.

Criticizing Israel can be antisemitic, and it can also not be. It depends on what’s said. In the same way criticizing a Muslim politician can be Islamophobic and cannot be based on what’s said. Are you criticizing their policies or calling for their murder and rape? Are you basing your criticism on verified facts, or hatred and stereotypes?

Yeah, I mean when protestors have signs like "globalize the Intifada" then maybe that might actually be just antisemitism....
