I am very curious to see how much this news spreads, since I have been in a lot of discussions that doing anything like this gets immediacy shut down as being "anti-semitic". And yet, I can't imagine anyone with a straight face will actually try to claim someone who is jewish is anti-semitic.

I do find it concerning that it seems like we are using a lot more force for anyone protesting this (see the stuff with colleges yesterday) than normal? Or is it just getting more attention?

Actually the demonstrators are worried because of the antisemitism that the actions of the Israeli government incite:

> "Our Judaism cannot be protected by the rampaging military of that ethno-state, for all that military does is sow sorrow and reap hatred, including hatred against us as Jews."

the "self deprecating jew" trope gets thrown around more and more often these days

The Guardian and the right wing of the Labour party in the UK went through the looking glass of calling Jewish people anti-semitic a long time ago.
