There is no problem with this kind of violence. This would only be mainstream media-worthy if the violence were in the other direction, which of course it should not be. This violence doesn’t fit the establishment narrative, and so it essentially didn’t happen.
“Anti-Israel CUNY graduation speakers led 2022 rally linked to antisemitic assault,” by Luke Tress, Times of Israel, June 19, 2023 (thanks to The Religion of Peace):
NEW YORK — At a pro-Palestinian rally in midtown Manhattan last year, several activists broke off from the demonstration to pursue a Jewish counter-protester down a street.
As the man, wearing an Israeli flag and holding a crutch, walked away from the protest, the activists jogged to catch up, shouting obscenities in his direction.
“Yo, that dirty f**king flag, yeah,” a masked man can be heard yelling in video footage from the incident.
The ensuing assault, also caught on video, would leave Matt Greenman bloody and bruised after being knocked to the ground and repeatedly punched in the face in front of shocked bystanders, his flag ripped away in a beating for which at least one attacker, Saadah Masoud, has been imprisoned on federal hate crime charges.
Leading the march were two protesters studying law at the City University of New York’s law school, Nerdeen Kiswani and Fatima Mohammed, members of an activist group connected to other antisemitic attacks in New York.
Three weeks after the assault, Kiswani would deliver the commencement speech at CUNY Law, and last month, Mohammed delivered the 2023 commencement address for the graduating class, filled with much of the same anti-Israel invective used at the rally, and sparking a fresh outcry that has rocked the city’s massive public college system as it grapples with allegations of widespread antisemitism on its campuses.
In her commencement address last month, Mohammed repeatedly lashed Israel, accusing the Jewish state of “indiscriminate” murder, encouraging “lynch mobs” and lauding resistance to “Zionism around the world.” She said “donors” and “investors” stifled criticism of Israel in comments leading Jewish groups said leaned into antisemitic tropes.
Last year, Kiswani also focused her speech on the Palestinian cause. Among other things, she alleged that she was the target of “Zionist harassment” by groups with ties to the Israeli government…..

One again ,with this information about that awful anti-Jewish rally in New York City , it’s therefore, very appropriate to reiterate the grand truth that was rightly spoken by the former United States President, William Howard Taft, who had ,wisely, declared in a speech “Anti-Semitism is a noxious weed that should be cut out. It has no place in America.”
Kepha says
Agree with the Hon. Mr. Taft. However, the early 20th century in America was notorious for racism, xenophobia, and anti-Semitism. Pres. Taft said what he did to confront and criticize a real problem of his time.
Wellington says
American Civilization and virtually all of Western Civilization are in deep trouble because bad players aplenty are now very much in charge.
Upside-down world. Which is to say a stupid world. And a vile world. What a waste. And for what? For Islam? For Marxism? For all the LGBTQ rot? For the immensely destructive nonsense which is green energy? For so much that represents the antithesis of all that is sane and decent?
It’s come to this. Yes it has. And demonstrating again what a collective idiot mankind is again and again.
Kepha says
Yes, Wellington, we live in an idiotocracy. Unhappily, it seems the academy is leading our age of endarkenment.
Bexarkat says
As Jews can no longer be safe in the United States, the need for a strong Jewish Israel is now more important than ever.

How funny we are suppose to be pro-LGBTQ+ and anti-racist and love everybody except babies and Jewish people. Come On Man.
