1. That would explain how things got so ugly, so fast

This is revolting and frightening. Such hate and ignorance.

[edhopper]

2. Co-opted?

Or there from the beginning.?

[lapucelle]

I Hope the NYC Police round those freaking ASS Assholes UP and throw the fuckers in prison!

5. "Hitler knew what to do with these people"

Maybe the "I've never seen anyone support Hamas!" people might want to take a gander once in awhile at what is happening in America.

And Linda Sarsour is there, because of course she is. Anyone who invites her to anything in polite company is endorsing her views, IMO. We wouldn't be chill with David Duke at our events, would we?

7. It all feels astroturfed, professional, and well-financed.

It's not grassroots. It reminds me of les gilets jaunes in France.

The degree of anti-Semitism is heartbreaking. This is New York, and I thought we were better than that.

[Sympthsical]

9. The talking points were out by October 8th

All the little key phrases and arguments we've seen over and over and over again.

October 8th.

It's not that this is professional, exactly. It's that all these ideological and antisemitic groups and organizations already existed, and they were waiting for the world's attention. Now that they have it, all those materials, talking points, and PR blitzes are going to work.

This is what college campuses have looked like for years. Have you seen all the crazy shit some of these professors have been saying? They didn't just arrive in academia. They've been there for ages. Once October 7th happened, they just printed the flyers and saturated social media.

We just ignored it. People don't like calling out their own side unless they absolutely have to.

But I think we've reached well beyond the point where we absolutely have to.

18. It is including foreign groups paying for students

to go to these western colleges and start these things.

And the colleges just care about the money.

8. "David Duke at our events, would we?"

Weeeeellll! Let's see, he is rabidly "critical" of Israel, so yeah, I can see some giving him a pass, because, y'know, "broken clocks" and such.

I wish I could say this was sarcasm, but it is not.

[Sympthsical]

10. You're right. I practically said Beetlejuice twice in that post

No one talk to any Dallas Mavericks players right now.

15. REC.. TY!

[Jedi Guy]

20. "Hitler knew what to do with these people"

Hey, come on now. That's clearly not anti-Semitic. That's obviously just a call for peaceful cooperation and dialogue, just like "from the river to the sea" is a call for peaceful liberation and freedom.

[Sympthsical]

21. You have to give it to them

It is, indeed, aspirational.

[LexVegas]

6. Co-opted? Sure....nt

[SunSeeker]

11. K & R for exposure.

[keithbvadu2]

12. Anti-Semetic? Are Trump's Charlottesville Tiki torchers marching again?

[lapucelle]

13. Probably.

[lapucelle]

14. ...

[JI7]

17. More than one group can be anti semitic.

[JI7]

16. Nothing was co-opted. They have always been anti semitic

and being anti semitic is the main part of it.

[JI7]

19. What a disgusting piece of shit. Trying to make out the scum

that tear down pics of kids into innocent victims that were forced to do that by some evil beings.

22. Oct 7 Wasn't "resistance" it was outright slaughter. What BS!
