…blasted those who held up Hezbollah and Hamas flags, both considered terrorist organizations by the United States, as well as protesters who carried a banner saying, “Long live October 7th.”

…one protester said he wished Adolf Hitler “was still here” because “he would’ve wiped all you out.”

    I mean that’s a straw man argument, op didn’t state any opinion on Hitler their affirmation.

    I think another thing to keep in mind is that neoliberal news will amplify any behaviour they see that can be interpreted as antisemitism. We already have several examples of things like this being attributed to protestors when in reality it was a counter protestor or agent provokeruer.

    I don’t think any person who actually cares about preventing a genocide is a supporter of the most well know orchestrator of genocide.

      I didn’t say that OP stated an opinion about Hitler. Adams stated an opinion in response to someone saying that Hitler should finish the job and OP criticized Adams for it.

        and OP criticized Adams for it.

        Where? He just pointed out an internal contradiction within a particular statement. Criticizing how someone responds to something is not the same as criticizing that they responded to something.
