Literal neoNazis, more than a decade ago, were occupying the "Israel is an apartheid state & is committing a genocide in Palestine" rhetorical space, which may have contributed to authorities & journ*lists jumping to conclusions about current protestors' ideologies. That's bad.

Finally, the very complexity of this question is why I include a whole section on the Jewish community and race in my Philosophy of Race class. Many folks, including anti-racist folks, don't have the first fricking clue what how to account for antisemitism beyond "it is bad," and this is a failure.

Ms. Penny Oaken (@skywitches.net):

There's also a narrative that the anti-genocide / pro-peace demonstrations & protests are backed by one or more foreign powers with a vested interest in destroying Jewish people and/or the Republican Party (because "without a conflict they have nothing"), and no way to affirmatively debunk them
