1 amazing thing about much of The Discourse about college kids and anti-semitism is that it appears written by elite media types who would see the phrase “pro Palestinian protest on a university campus” and somehow not realize Jewish students would be immediately overrepresented among the protesters
“We later found out that Hamas had offered on Oct 9 or 10 to release all the civilian hostages in exchange for the IDF not entering the Strip, but the govt rejected the offer...." "Bibi knows that the moment the hostages are released, Smotrich & Ben Gvir will leave the govt.” AS WE'VE BEEN SAYING.
