I assume you have seen the protests, the black flags, the green bandages, the swords on the flags, the demands to destroy Israel (from the river to ...), the demands to "free Palestine" (which is a sentence that makes no sense if it's about Gaza, or even Gaza and WB, or even everything 1967 borders, it only makes sense if it's a demand to destroy Israel), and the other demands ...

If these protests are about protecting civilians (of course, never ANY mention of protecting Israeli civilians from Hamas, that's not worth complaining about), I "somehow" missed it.

The "demands" seen everywhere in those protests. Just imagine a Jew would protest with a demand to drive muslims out of historical mosques ... But demands to drive Jews away from the wailing wall is perfectly reasonable, apparently. Nothing racist here!

Most of all perhaps, after 10 years of "you can't react against individuals because of what a country is doing", the constant actions taken against Jews and Israeli by all these protests seem EXTREMELY hypocritical. The outright racism outpouring these protests are, first, causing, and, secondly, accepting racism as if it doesn't matter. This, after decades of raging demands to stay kilometers away from anything that might look racist. Well, here's stating the obvious: these protests look racist. And not a little bit.

If anyone on the progressive side wants to accuse anyone else of religiously motivated racism in the next 50 years, they're going to get these protests thrown in their faces as proof that the progressive left are raging racists. And that complaint will be ... sorry, but that complaint will be accurate. These protests will affect a great many lives for decades, and almost universally negatively. How can anyone who likes these protests complain about a decision maker that "doesn't trust muslims anymore?", without BEING a complete hypocrite?

The next time someone demands that universities stop all cooperation with any university in any islamic country, what will you say? Trump only has to utter the words and it will take 50 years to repair the damage. And even if it's not Trump, obviously this demand will come.

Plus you're not going to say that you haven't personally caught the Palestinian side in an outright lie. Like the famous hospital "rocket strike". Even what's on the BBC when it comes to Gaza is bullshit [1] [2]. Have you failed to notice the completely different arabic ("we will win" or even "we'll kill all the jews") press messaging on Al Jazeera for example, vs their english reporting?

Note that the BBC reprinted Hamas propaganda without thinking. EVERYTHING about the printed BBC claims was wrong:

a) the rocket didn't do anywhere near the claimed damage (it made some cars dirty, destroyed maybe ONE car)

b) did not kill anyone at all, certainly not 471 people

c) and hurt ... maybe just a single person (who got shrapnel from a window in his hand, not exactly a life threatening injury)

d) the rocket was not fired by Israel, but by Palestinian terrorists from directly next to the hospital

e) The BBC did not present any doubt in their reporting, despite knowing the report was Hamas propaganda. The BBC reported a failed attack by Hamas by directly accusing Israel of, purposefully, killing Palestinian children in a hospital. What I'm saying is, this reporting did not carefully, unintentionally cross the line. This is utter, raging lunacy. If Israeli's complain this report was "blood libel" ... well, sorry to say, but that's exactly what it was.

Hell, it was worse in at least one way. The Soviets never actually committed the crimes they accused Jews of in "the protocols". Hamas did commit the crimes they accuse Israel of. There have been allegations of this before, even allegations Hamas committed warcrimes against their own people JUST to accuse Israel of those crimes.

... and of course everyone participated. The UN's secretary general repeated this propaganda!

up to this point EVERYTHING about the BBC report would have been extremely obvious to the reporter on the ground. It was BBC employees purposefully lying.

So, no, forgive me for saying that this is very much not about truth or justice, they are about killing Israeli. Nothing else.

f) the rocket didn't explode (the first thing that MIGHT not have been obvious to the BBC reporter). It started rotating, dumped it's fuel and "rapid unscheduled disassembly" occurred.

g) And, lastly, note the titles the BBC chose to use. To report the wrong information "Hundreds feared dead at Gaza hospital as Israel denies strike", to report that their information was incredibly inaccurate they waited NINE DAYS (and the dates on the articles are TEN days apart), and the title of that "retraction" was "Gaza hospital blast: What does new analysis tell us?"
