I've seen thousands upon thousands of people protesting with my own eyes but never caught onto anything anti semitic. In fact I often see Jewish groups attending as well.

I'm sure there often are people espousing vile views, that's a statistical inevitability almost, but it's clearly far from the norm.

I'm just going on what the news says, and you know how the news likes to misrepresent stuff for clicks, but here's a few articles on the topic.

Yes, I know it well. I remember a very striking moment during some protests in London. The GB news was presenting it as having turned violent, with close ups of protesters clashing against the police. At the same time many individuals who were at the events themselves were able to broadcast on social media showing thousands of people peacefully walking together in a very positive atmosphere totally unaware that a small alteration had taken place elsewhere on the fringe of the event.
