It is time the right wing labelling of those who oppose Benjamin Netanyahu and his extremist government as Anti Semites stopped. Are these guys Anti Semites?

Statement: JVP Stands With the Students of Columbia University and CCNY.
Last night, student protestors at Columbia University and the City College of New York were brutalized by the NYPD — in order to protect their universities’ investments in Israeli apartheid.
Jewish Voice for Peace condemns the NYPD’s arrests and assaults of over 50 Columbia and Barnard students peacefully occupying Hind’s Hall (formerly Hamilton Hall, renamed by students in honor of a 6-year-old Palestinian girl killed by the Israeli military), and those of dozens of protesting students at the City College of New York.
For over six months, people of conscience have come together to demand an immediate and permanent end to the Israeli military’s ongoing genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.
As the Israeli military prepares to invade Rafah, scores of peaceful student encampments have bravely assembled across the country to demand that institutions of higher learning end their complicity with the Israeli government’s dispossession of Palestinian families from their homes and land.
Early reports from tonight include horrifying instances of violence against students by the police. At Columbia University, this included hundreds of police with drawn weapons deploying flash-bang grenades, throwing a student down the stairwell. Student journalists reported a substance that smelled of sewage.
It will forever be a stain on Columbia that the administration called riot police on its own student body rather than divest from the brutality of war and occupation.
The blame for tonight’s violence also falls on the shoulders of politicians such as President Biden, House Speaker Mike Johnson, NYC Mayor Eric Adams, and more, who have used their power to smear anti-war protests, paving the way for police violence against students.

We’re fighting to stop a genocide. Slanders against our movements are a distraction.
People of conscience across the country are organizing in unprecedented numbers to demand divestment from Israeli apartheid and genocide. Our elected officials and the U.S. media, desperate to maintain unquestioning support for the Israeli war machine in service of their own interests, have responded by exploiting fears of rising antisemitism and smearing peaceful, anti-war protests as dangerous, anti-semitic mobs.
As the largest anti-Zionist Jewish organization in the world, we unequivocally reject the conflation of antisemitism with anti-Zionism and reaffirm in the strongest terms that there is no place for antisemitism in our movements. We condemn the false accusations of antisemitism leveled against principled, anti-war protesters to discredit our movements.
We understand these accusations for what they are: a cynical distraction from the ongoing atrocities in Gaza. Over 34,000 Palestinians have been killed, with thousands more feared dead. They are currently unearthing the bodies of their loved ones in mass graves. In Rafah, where hundreds of thousands of displaced people have taken shelter, Israel’s military is preparing to invade.
In the last week, student encampments have been erected at universities across the country, making national headlines as demands for immediate ceasefire and divestment from apartheid become more mainstream. At the same time, Jews and people of conscience are pouring into the streets, inspired by the lessons of Passover — the Jewish holiday of liberation — to do everything in their power to demand an end to U.S. complicity in genocide.

I am not going to comment on his logic, he/she has put forth their opinion, the far Lefts opinion; Bidens opinion.
I am not suggesting you throw this dude/dudette under the bus.
This is exactly why there is an election in this country.
Forget me, and this Dude/Dudette, and decide who you think is more competent to run this country.
You have heard.........of course you have.......that somehow, this is all about Democracy, or whatever they want to claim today, lol.
Your Forefathers, insured that NOBODY could do what they claim might happen, unless congress just goes to sleep, along with the Supreme Court. The Left is selling you SMOKE, with a lot of cannabis in it, to get you to buy this nonsense
If YOU believe what this boob is selling, then you also have to believe our whole way of governance is done.
Donald J Trump can defeat the congress; he can defeat the supreme court, and can make this a monarchy because you say so!
If YOU believe this..........you are not part of the problem....you ARE the problem.
You can support Biden all you want; and good for you. But when you just make up stuff to bolster your position, all it shows is how WEAK you really are-)
