    The appropriate, historically accurate comparison is to student protests against South African apartheid and he knows it. Reportedly, those very protests grew into the strong boycott, divestment, and sanctions movement that ended apartheid in South Africa. This is what he fears and what corporate media is actively trying to prevent.

    Only people with no information on either the actual history or current situation are going to fall for this baseless slander. Sadly there are probably still a number of those around.

    This is the new tactic for the dictators, just call <insert literally anything> a nazi. The Ukrainians, the protestors, my dog, all nazi’s. Projection at its greatest.

    Should have just said it was a school shooting and the Texas cops wouldn’t go in at all.

      He’s delusional.

      Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called on Jews and non-Jews to oppose pro-Palestinian protests on campuses across the United States, comparing them to the antisemitism seen in Nazi Germany in the 1930s.

      “What’s happening in America’s college campuses is horrific. Antisemitic mobs have taken over leading universities. They call for the annihilation of Israel, they attack Jewish students, they attack Jewish faculties,” he said in a statement posted to X on Wednesday.

        Netanyahu’s entire party are fascists, and Einstein called them out for being fascists shortly after WW2 (before they rebranded to their current name).

        Playing the antisemitic card is all they have left as they have no leg to stand on when critical thought is applied.

          They also have money, which they’re using to its maximum effect.

          And there’s always the Mossad…

          This has always been the case. It’s only becoming apparent to everyone now.

        Hey genius, I am an Ashkenazi Jew. I’m also working against Israeli apartheid and genocide and have been for decades.

        Let me guess- I also own all the banks and control Hollywood.

        I’m a mod in c/Jewish and you reply to me with that shit?

          Someone says look in the mirror in reference to Bibi calling everyone Nazis… (Edit: apparently telling Bibi to look in the mirror is also a punishable offense)

          I make joke (can’t spell Ashkenazi). Directly to jail.

          World ends.

          BTW. I’ve long supported Jewish people and defended them against harassment. On and offline. I’ve talked so many people off the cliff of anti Jewish hate. Explained why the “families” and the banks and etc are bullshit conspiracies.

          Lemme guess, you make random guesses about people based on a single 4 word response.

              Literally. No.

              I didn’t even use the word Nazi.

              And, dude, you literally, (literally), said “look in the mirror”

                  Anyone can also see you said “look in the mirror” which equates to calling Jews Nazis.

                  Tell me the 4 words I wrote in response.

                  Was I being sarcastic?:leading? Antisemitic? Tellme the intent of the words I wrote in RESPONSE TO YOU.

    All you have to do to get away with being a fucking nazi is call anyone opposing your genocide a nazi apparently.

    Without delving into this event I’m going to take a wild guess and say that this is the common trope of framing something that is Anti-Netanyahu or Anti-Israeli or Anti-Zionism (Read: Far-Right Nationalism) or Pro-Civilian — and associate it with antisemitism. Let me edit upon review to see if I can confirm this hypothesis.

    Edit: I’d say I’m pretty much right.

    https://apnews.com/article/columbia-yale-israel-palestinians-protests-56c3d9d0a278c15ed8e4132a75ea9599

    https://www.vox.com/24138285/columbia-campus-israel-palestine-activism-sjp

    Times of Israel of course has a convenient anonymous student referring to chants that are curiously not captured on video/audio. If someone has something, then do let me know. I suspect like most things this is a matter of colorizing the protest by the few bad apples who, according to an AP article, were not even students. So you may have actual antisemites trying to hijack the movement; or you might have pro-Israelis trying to tarnish the protest by painting it in a bad light.

    Either way, the protests should be judged by the overwhelming narrative projected by the mass at large.
