I have appreciated representative Moskowitz's work in congress, here he's advancing an ugly smear, which another CNN video easily disproves.

Video shows protesters being arrested on Columbia University campus

Edited to add the video's title.

CNN has a channel there.

And because a handful get along doesn't disprove Moskowitz.

Why does it make any difference if it's also on YouTube?

The video clearly shows that the protest counts a number of young Jews among it participants. Other have been reported to have been arrested, as well. Why are they any less indicative of the whether or not the protests have been largely or even significantly anti-Semitic than "handful" that that claim that they are?

Reports of such come from, I think a very small minority of people who not affiliated w/ the main groups responsible for organizing the protests. Those making anti-Semitic statements take advantage the protests to insert their vile sentiments, while others play them up to, in an effort to discredit and large public support for Palestinians.
