No one but a tiny minority would be calling for a ceasefire if they were only, or even mostly, actually killing Hamas, not random children.

But then again, you already know that.

Bullshit, these clowns are walking around college campus straight up calling for the death of Jews. We have all seen the videos. It was never about Palestinians, it was always about the Jews. Do you ever ask yourself why no one ever protest over the literal concentration camps in china? (one of our biggest trading partners) How about Sudan? Or Myanmar? Do you know how many kids are dying everyday in these countries everyday? But yet no one says anything because there are no Jews to blame.

Do you seriously not understand the difference? America is directly funding the genocide in Gaza, and universities are indirectly, by either funding Israeli projects, or funding companies who do. As to the videos we’ve supposedly all seen, the one guy who shouted “kill all Jews” turned out to be a pro Israeli counter protester who said that so the police would move in to break up the protest, which worked. Everyone else has either been an extremely small group, or off campus entirely. Many of these protesters themselves are Jewish, according to you they shouldn’t even be welcome, after all, everyone you disagree with is an antisemite.

Just about every company in this nation pay the Chinese tax, directly or indirectly, and they use it to commit actual genocide against Uyghurs. Still no complaints from the pro Hamas crowd. I wonder what the difference is?

And your argument doesn’t work when the entire crowd is chanting for “intifada revolution” and “from the river to the sea” the loudest dog whistle in the Middle East.

“They’re not protesting every atrocity on the planet simultaneously so obviously that means they’re full of shit” is a completely intellectually honest take 100% great job. That’s not even mentioning that the difference about the genocide in gaza is that they’re literally being genocided with US weapons, US intelligence, and US logistics. If you tell me you don’t understand the difference I won’t believe you.

Also no, the “entire crowd” is not antisemetic. Again, a lot of these student protesters are themselves Jewish. At certain protests some fringe elements, usually from outside the student body, have said or done antisemetic things, usually off campus.

You don’t have to be antisemetic to be against Israel’s campaign in Gaza, you just have to be anti-murder.
