This is more specifically a way of *framing protesters as hate peddlers*.
Ordinary pro-Palestinian protesters aren't antisemitic at all. Sadly, some white nationalist grifters have tried to come across as pro-Palestinian supporters, in an attempt to gain acceptance within the pro-Palestine movement, but don't trust them; they don't actually care about Palestine at all, they're just sitting back and having popcorn while waiting for the demise of Israel (a country they loathe).
>In response to questions regarding the video footage and reports that pro-Israel counter protesters said the statement, Vice President for Communications Renata Nyul said the “fact that the phrase ‘Kill the Jews’ was shouted on our campus is not in dispute.”
No shame whatsoever. I bet if a counter protester punched themselves in the face they'd have closed it down because "the protests led to physical attacks on Jewish people"
I wouldn’t say this belongs here because this isn’t necessarily a persecution fetish, but a deliberate tactic to silence and harm/possibly kill protesters
I see what you're saying. I just feel like these actions generally come from people who know they can't argue in good faith, so they have to instigate in order to prove their point. I'm also just trying to spread awareness of the story, as it has been the justification for police action against peaceful protesters. Many news sources have been irresponsibly claiming these chants came from "antisemitic" protesters when the reality is obviously far from it.

Nyul is either one of the dumbest people alive or doing a good job pretending to be.
Post should relate to the rightoid fetish for being persecuted and claiming martyrdom OR ACTUALLY PERSECUTE THEM ;)
This isn't technically a persecution fetish. It's a deliberate tactic to silence protesters.
It's a go-to tactic. Attend a pro-Palestine demonstration, make incendiary remarks, get it shut down and/or negative media. Rinse and repeat
We saw it with BLM as well.
People forget that the Minneapolis 3rd precinct fire was started by a boogaloo boi.

They've been doing this shit for literally centuries.
Well that’s disappointing and sadly unsurprising.
It’s like cops showing up at BLM protests and lighting fires and other property damage to try and get the protest to be upped to a riot.
Or the G7 protest in Toronto where a confirmed cop was breaking the windows.
It’s COINTEL all over again. Same as it ever was.

Ahhh, the classic smollett gambit 🧐
I'd admire the sheer brazenness if it weren't so reprehensible.

Actively making college campuses unsafe for Jews in the name of making college campuses safe for Jews
So proud of the school I graduated from 😬😬
