Like the college protests. Where they have on video one of the pro Israel peeps going into the protestor crowd and yelling shit like "death to Jews" to make the protestors look bad...scumbags
I'll never forget the first BLM protests I think in Minnesota?
There was a livestream of like 100+ peaceful protestors, and one white dude with his face covered and an umbrella. White dude kept trying to make a riot happen, and the protestors kept stopping him.
Later he goes up to an AutoZone and busts a window.
A protestor (who had a whole ass pizza) followed the guy for a long time eating pizza and yelling at the cops to arrest the guy trying to start a riot. Cops literally never moved. Stood as still as statues.
It later came out that "umbrella man" was a known white supremacist, the cops still blamed peaceful protestors, and the cops refused to charge "umbrella man".
Yeah, there many of these examples for recent protests going back to at least HK.
It seems like this is just SOP for this shit and with power of internet people are able to document it, verify it and publicize it.
Back in the day, it was a trust me bro... now you get can get OSINT etc it is getting hard to hide some of this shit. Likely the reason why they leaning so heavy into polarization and misinformation.
Reminds me of a scene in Fullmetal Alchemist where a character who can shapeshift turns into a “citizen” on one side of a tense situation between the greater govt and the local population. He shoots a govt official during some non-violent protest and it sets off a whole war. It was revealed he was working for the govt to further their own goals.
I probably shouldn’t guess because the truth is I have not even the slightest idea, but I would bet money that it was the Israel side that started the violence and not the protestor side. Among other things, I think if the protestors started the violence, there wouldn’t be any of this passive voice “violence evolved” stuff; we’d be hearing specifically about how they “attacked,” in the active voice.
Not to mention that any protest against is real (or anything netanyahu’s govt doesn’t like) is “antisemitic.”
Antisemitism is a problem. And its roots are long and deep and often hard to spot. But they are using the term “antisemitism” as a cudgel against legitimate criticism. Because they’re a goddamn apartheid government.
