It's not just that, even.
It's also that there have been many open, blatant attacks against Jews, explicitly in the name of this movement.
And when the movement pays any attention to them, it's only to DOUBLE DOWN.
I can tell you exactly which coffee shop I can't go into while wearing a star of David. Because not once but at least twice, the owner has yelled at people to get out, told them they're wearing a hate symbol, and called the cops on them.
This, for context, is in a major city where nobody at any coffee shop would EVER think of messing with me or even side-eyeing me for being openly trans.
Although I do kinda wonder what the owner of that place would do if I came in with no necklace and no binder.
The reaction from the left? People got together a petition claiming that "workers and owner were harassed with the explicit goal of provocation by two bad actors. In both instances, the agitators were wearing blue caps with a white Star of David.
"In the first instance, the cap also said, โAm Yisraeli Chai,โ which translates as, โThe people of lsrael live.โ By June 2024, over 65,000 Palestinians had been murdered, over 18,000 of which were children. In this context, such a hat is an act of racism and violence. Wearing it is rubbing it in the face of Palestinians that so many Palestinians have been killed by Israel."
That is the most unhinged shit I have ever heard. I've watched the video from the first guy. His kid needed a bathroom. The place they were in didn't have one. It directed them to this shitty coffee house. He even ordered coffee while his kid went to the bathroom. Then the guy behind the counter started ordering him to get out and yelling at him.
I don't know what happened with the second person. But if somebody walks into your coffee shop wearing a star of David to see if you'll kick them out, it's still on you if you do.
The coffee shop had a juice drink named after Yahya Sinwar. Like, preexisting Hamas juice. This one is not the Jews' fault, my friends.
That's not the worst story I have. The worst one is probably the woman who got the shit beat out of her, and all her stuff stolen, because of a call-out video by another woman who followed her down the street, yelling at her that she was racist, for... putting up anti-Hamas stickers.
And doxxed her. And then their Instagram followers doxxed other people who told them this was fucked up.
It's a horrible, horrible fucking hate-filled movement. I don't give a shit how peaceful the protests any of you have been lucky enough to go to were. I am telling you, this is the same moment that firebombed the small pro-hostage walk in Denver.
This follows directly and consistently from all the protesters who tore down hostage flyers and counter-protested hostage vigils and hostage protests.
This is a movement that regularly holds its protests outside of synagogues. This is a movement whose encampments repeatedly called for their schools to get rid of Chabad and Hillel.
This is a movement that routinely defaces Jewish schools, synagogues, Jewish community centers, with everything from "Free Palestine" to "Khaybar Khaybar." One where people routinely join in chants, on video, that mean, "From shore to shore, Palestine shall be Arab." One where teens sing joyfully about how they're going to burn the Jews, and people flock to the comments to defend them.
This is a movement that focuses obsessively on Jews, to the exclusion of any focus on activists in Gaza.
