I'm obviously not the arbiter on what is or isn't antisemitic hate speech. But I keep seeing vague claims that the protests have been making antisemitic chants, etc. I can't find any details on these supposed chants.

Clearly antisemitism is bad and wrong. But is this just one of those cases where anti-zionism is being mislabeled? Or is there seriously a problem with antisemitism in these protests?

@Karstan

Much probably comes down to how you define it. If you believe "from the river to the sea" is antisemitic, then absolutely.

I am not fully sure about the history (though I have looked into it a little) and can see arguments on both sides. That said, all of the people, the students, I have talked to seem to be using it a support of Palestine rather than an attack against Jewish people.

But it lives in the gray area where one can interpret it whichever way fits their views, it seems.

@FantasticalEconomics @Karstan “From the river to the sea?” I remember Netanyahu using that in a speech recently. I guess he must be antisemitic. Oh, wait, it’s not antisemitic when you use it to mean exterminating the Palestinian people. My bad.
