Just to be clear, they follow 1 random Jewish student who says they “felt threatened” because they saw a swastika “on or around campus”. They then talk to another student who is the leader of a pro-Israel student group. They don’t talk to any of the people actually at the encampments. They don’t talk to any pro-Palestinian students. They take these 2 Jewish students word at face value. There’s no studies cited, and no other evidence offered.

This story is part of a larger media narrative to paint anything that is supporting Palestine or is critical of Israel as antisemitism. It accepts pro-Israel talking points as fact with little or no actual investigation into whether anything said is actually true.

Thank you. It is infuriating to see how little critical investigation is given to accusations of anti-semitism. AIPAC's propaganda team is pretty amazing, I have to give that to them.

Not really. It's people being lazy as fuck and not bothering to actually check what's being said. Anyone with half a brain knows not to instantly believe support for Palestinian civilians equals antisemitism and wanting to see all Jews/Israelis gassed.

I really want to agree with you, but I know several (especially older) people who are very intelligent but only get their news through mainstream media, and not just Fox News. These folks are convinced we’re seeing a resurgence of neo-Nazis on college campuses because that’s how every major news outlet, conservative or liberal, is reporting on them.

The narrative on mainstream media is the same biased unsourced garbage. They’re really exposing just how compromised they are with their nonstop simping for Israel

It is so sad that the pro Israel crowd has made up so many lies about being subject to antisemitism that unless there is evidence I can't trust it.

I've seen them talk to plenty on both sides with the same result. Not sure where you're getting your info from, but you're obviously not getting everything

I watched PBS Frontline's recent documentary about these university protests and my blood was boiling. Complete convenient anecdotes from students; a complete disregard for the anti-Islamic sentiment; and I laugh at the absurdity when Republican reps grandstand about antisemitism to these university president's when they continue to blindly support a raging antisemite for president.
