I'm just speaking in general.  

Americans become very "anti-protest" and base it on the worst of the worst, or how the feel about the subject being protested.

For example: No one said we should stop all protests because of Jan 6th.  The discussion was on the protestors that went too far and destroyed property and wanted to hang the VP.

So while there are probably examples of people protesting Jewish people vs Israel I'm not going to focus on that.

I want peace and hostages released.  I understand Hamas started this round and that Israel/Netanyahu allowed Hamas to continue for the sake of politics.

That's why I'm focusing on the people who are caught in the middle of the conflict between leaders who only want to see each other dead.

And I'll add that all of these battles and bombing and killing only create MORE people on both sides that want to see each other dead....which is why I want it to stop.

I don't disagree with a lot here. I guess I'm just seeing a lot of the anti Jew rhetoric and several examples enough to concern me. Not just a t shirt or two. I hope you're right and it's just a real minority. But according to the lefties at work and my friends (I'm pretty far left), it's creeping into their psyche. They say "we love everyone!", then say the Jews are bad lol. Then say not all Jews when I give em a look. It's the same as when a racist dude says "not all blacks are bad" when trying to explain that they ain't THAT racist. Lol 

Thanks for the discussion. I hope I'm wrong.
