Task: Explanation
Input (English): Paragraph: The weekend of April 17-19 saw a number of demonstrations take place in cities across the U.S. in protest of continued lockdown orders intended to limit the spread of the COVID-19 coronavirus disease. According to the BBC. Those taking to the streets say that the stringent measures restricting movement and businesses are unnecessarily hurting citizens. Protesters say the stay-at-home measures imposed by state governments to control the spread of Covid-19 are an overreaction. Some have also come bearing firearms as gun rights groups have been among the organisers, citing infringements on civil liberties. Some also say keeping these restrictions in place too long will cause long-term damage to local economies. For the most part the anti-lockdown protests were peaceful, although a few unseemly incidents of a non-violent nature did take place. For example, social media posts claimed that a few people in Columbus, Ohio, had taken advantage of the demonstration to display an anti-Semitic message:  Unfortunately, this image was all too real, as Cleveland.com reported: A photo from the stay-at-home protest at the Statehouse is gaining traction on Twitter for its anti-Semitic message. The photograph captured two men in a minivan. One held a sign with an illustration of a rodent with the Star of David on its side and the words “The Real Plague.” The protest movement against coronavirus restrictions has been a mishmash of people. Some adhere to public health officials’ guidance of distancing themselves at least 6 feet apart and wearing masks. They want to return to work. On the more extreme are others who call coronavirus a hoax. But the anti-Semitism might drown out all their messages. Claim: A photograph shows protesters displaying an anti-Semitic sign during a COVID-19 lockdown protest.
Output (English): Ohio state Rep. Casey Weinstein, who had previously tweeted the above photograph along with the comments “There is a long, scary and disgusting history of blaming Jews for plagues and disease. NOT ON MY WATCH” and “I’ll call this out and stand right up to antisemitism wherever and whenever I see it!” also tweeted a second photograph of the two men wielding the anti-Semitic sign:
